Get the most out of your storage unit with these expert tips
From the team at Lake Wylie Self Storage - 25+ years of experience
Take apart bed frames, tables, and shelving units. They take up far less space and are easier to move. Keep hardware in labeled zip-lock bags taped to the furniture.
Stack boxes up to the ceiling. Place lighter items on top. Use shelving units inside your storage space to maximize every square foot you are paying for.
Keep a written or digital list of what is in each box. Number your boxes and match them to the list. You will thank yourself when you need to find something specific.
Even in SC's mild climate, use silica gel packets or moisture absorbers in your unit. Wrap upholstered furniture in breathable covers, not plastic, to prevent mold.
For outdoor storage, inflate tires to proper pressure before long-term storage. Disconnect the battery on stored vehicles and use a fuel stabilizer if storing for months.
Check on your stored items every few months. This helps you catch any issues early and lets you confirm your inventory is still accurate and well-organized.
