Before you purchase a shed from a home and garden store to use as storage, keep in mind that they are not climate controlled and are subject to invasion from weather, mice, rats, cockroaches, and even snakes. Commercial facilities take steps to make sure your goods are protected.
It’s important to remember that your storage unit won’t always be a place where you store items and then forget about them. Leaving a little extra space between boxes and furniture pieces will make it easier for you to move around if you need to retrieve something early.
If you plan to store a lot of packing boxes, either fill each box to the top or pad them with newspapers or packing materials. Boxes that remain half full may eventually collapse when stacked in your storage space.
One of the many benefits of self storage is that most facilities are designed to make moving property as easy as possible. Many have drive-up units and have boxes and packing materials if needed as well as moving carts for those heavy items that barely made it to the storage facility.
Many stored items can be made smaller, especially bed frames. Wrap frames together with a few rounds of tape, and place any screws in plastic bags and tape them to the frame as well. This way, you will have more room for other stored items.
