Storage Tips & Tricks

Making the most of your storage unit is easier than you think. At Nice Self Storage, we’ve put together a few helpful tips to keep your items safe, organized, and easy to access

1. Pack Smart: Use sturdy boxes and label everything clearly. Keep a detailed inventory so you know exactly what’s in each box.

2. Maximize Space: Store heavier items on the bottom and lighter items on top. Use shelving units to take advantage of vertical space.

3. Protect Your Belongings: Wrap fragile items in bubble wrap, blankets, or towels. Keep electronics and important documents in waterproof containers.

4. Keep It Accessible: Place frequently used items near the front of your unit. Leave a walkway so you can reach everything without moving boxes around.

5. Climate Considerations: If storing items sensitive to temperature or humidity, consider a climate-controlled unit.

6. Stay Organized: Group similar items together and label boxes with their contents and the room they belong to.

7. Safety First: Don’t store flammable, hazardous, or illegal items. Keep heavy items stable and avoid stacking boxes too high.

8. Plan Ahead: Think about how long you’ll need each item. Seasonal items like holiday decorations should be easy to access without moving your entire unit.

By following these tips, you’ll get the most out of your storage unit while keeping your belongings safe and organized. For more advice or to find the right unit size, contact our team at 707-274-2345 or email niceselfstorage@att.net.
