• Take a list of what you will be storing so the manager can help you accurately determine the storage space you need.
   
• Make a plan of the unit and how your items will be arranged. Leave an aisle in the center for easy access to the rear.
   
• Never store food or items that attract pests and, for your safety, never store hazardous materials such as flammable liquids.
   
• Use the full height to take advantage of your storage space. Shelving will help organize your space.
   
• Label boxes on all sides. Keep a list that details contents.
   
• Store frequently used items near the front.
   
• Fill boxes to avoid tipping or crushing when stacked, with the heaviest on bottom.
   
• Disassemble tables, bed frames, cabinets, etc. Wrap and label accordingly for easy assembly at a later date.
   
• Make sure all appliances are clean and dry before storage. Wedge refrigerator and freezer doors ajar.
   
• Store couches on end, chairs seat to seat, tables upside down with legs pointing up. Use dust covers/bed sheets to cover.
   
• Mirrors, records and flat items should be stored on end, not flat. Books should be stored flat, and in small boxes.
   
• Clothing and drapes should be stored hanging inside wardrobes. Use drawers in dressers to store delicate items.
