STORAGE TIPS

At Two A Self Storage we want you to have the best storage experience possible. With that in mind we put together a list of storage Do's and Don'ts.

DO

  • Store items on pallets or shelves to allow for proper airflow
  • Use all of the space in your unit but try to leave an aisle in the center for access to the back
  • Label all of your boxes and plastic totes
  • Store your most frequently used items near the front
  • To protect your items cover them with sheets or moving pads
  • Check on your stored items once a month
  • Disassemble the big items like tables or bed frames to make more space
  • Make sure your appliances are clean and dry before storage
  • Store mattresses and box springs on their sides, raise them a bit, and cover them
  • Purchase insurance or contact your current insurance company for coverage
  • Plastic tote bins are an excellent way to keep your property stackable and organized
