STORAGE TIPS
Make the most of your storage space with simple, practical tips designed to keep your belongings organized, protected, and easy to access.
Selecting the correct size is key to organized storage. Use our size guide to estimate the space needed for your items, including quantities. Choosing the right unit prevents overcrowding and keeps your belongings accessible.
Keep an inventory list and clearly label each box. This makes it easy to find specific items without unpacking your entire unit. Consider grouping similar items together for efficient storage.
Protect your belongings with sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and furniture covers. High-quality packing materials help prevent damage from dust, moisture, or shifting during storage.
Take advantage of tall units by stacking boxes and items safely. Place heavier items on the bottom and lighter or fragile items on top to prevent damage.
Leave a walkway in your unit so you can reach items without moving everything around. This is especially helpful for drive-up units, allowing convenient loading and unloading.
Store sensitive documents and valuable items in waterproof, fire-resistant containers. Keep them near the front of the unit for easy access when needed.
Avoid storing items directly on the floor; use pallets or shelving to improve airflow and prevent moisture damage. Our clean, secure units at Red Storage make this easy to manage.
Always lock your unit with a sturdy padlock. Red Storage’s fully fenced and gated facility with security cameras adds extra peace of mind.
If storing items for an extended period, periodically check your unit for signs of damage or moisture. Adjust packing and placement as needed to maintain the integrity of your belongings.
