Climate Control

Please note that our units are NOT climate-controlled. Heating a storage unit happens only rarely. This is because heating would prove expensive and quite unfeasible, given users do not spend much time in self-storage facilities.

Our units are NOT ventilated.  It is uncommon to ventilate a self-storage facility as it expensive to install, maintain and provides scarce tangible benefit. Ventilated units do exist in larger markets, but only in the form of converted buildings with ventilation too costly to uninstall.

Furniture

• Cover all furniture and disassemble, if possible.
• Wrap table legs with packing paper as scratch protection.
• Lay down blankets or a pallet between the furniture and the floor of thestorage unit.
• Place assembled tables top down on floor with legs pointing towards the ceiling.
• Stack chairs seat-to-seat with cloth or paper separating them.
• Avoid stacking or leaning furniture against outside walls.

Books and Valuable Papers

• Use file boxes. They are the best containers for your important documents.
• Pack books flat and fill any empty space to minimize movement.
• Avoid overfilling cartons. Books are heavy.
• Keep pallets free of moisture by placing plastic sheeting on top of them.

Clothes

• Avoid excessive wrinkling to your clothes by employing wardrobe boxes.
• Refrain from placing boxes of clothes directly on the floor.

Breakables

• Wrap plates, saucers, and bowls individually before placing it in a china carton.
• Use a china carton divider kit for increased security.
• Fill paper into bottom, top and empty spaces in the carton.

Appliances and Equipment

• When storing appliances, be sure they are defrosted and empty of water as moisture and humidity will damage your valuables. Refrigerator and freezer doors should be propped slightly open to prevent odor build-up. An opened box of baking soda can be placed inside for added odor prevention.
• Valuable storage space inside appliance's can be used for small items.
