Storage Tips

Here are a few Storage Tips you may not think about ...

• To increase air circulation, use pallets or something similar to keep items off the floor and help keep them dry
• Items that you'll use frequently should be kept toward the front of the unit.
• Review your homeowners/renters insurance policy to make sure they cover storage of your goods.
• Purchase a quality lock to secure your unit at all times.
• Cover your items with a cloth tarp instead of plastic
• If you are covering your furniture with a plastic cover, puncture a small hole to allow air flow and this will assist in preventing moisture from forming. Moisture levels fluctuate season to season with Wisconsin weather
• Leave some room along the walls of the unit to allow better air circulation
• When storing a vehicle or motorized equipment, make sure you winterize to reduce the chance of damage. Review your owner's manual
• To make sure your items stay in good condition, visit your unit on a regular basis
• Do not store perishable goods in the unit. This would attract rodents or insects that no one wants in their unit
• No hazardous items should be stored in the unit
