TOP 5 ALL STORAGE TIPS

All Storage wants to ensure your storage experience is a great one. To get things off on the right foot, here are our “Top 5 All Storage Tips.”

1. Plan Backwards

Store your least used items first. Only pack in your most used items at the end. That way, they’ll be right up front and easy to access in the future.

2. Think Vertically

Make best use of your storage area by stacking to the ceiling. Work from heaviest items on the bottom to lightest items on top. Don’t forget to protect items lower down.

3. Let it Breathe

Leave a little room between the walls and stored items. This will protect your items better by providing greater ventilation.

4. Don’t Throw Your Back Out

Resist the temptation to overload your boxes. Each box should not weigh more than you can lift without straining. For most people, it’s about 40 pounds.

5. Enjoy.

Once everything’s stored you can rest assured that it will be kept safe and secure. Of course, don’t forget to stop by occasionally to visit.

If it’s your first time storing, here’s a quick explanation about how it works—and what to expect.
