Self-Storage is a great solution for those who are running out of home-space to store all of their belongings. Truthfully, all of us have things that we cannot part with but we don’t have space for. If you can find a storage facility that is the right price, within close proximity, and where you know your items will be stored safely, it will be the solution to keeping & accessing your items whenever you need them. However, once you have begun renting a unit there are some tricks in the way you organize that will help keep things you need most accessible. When most people move their stuff into a unit they begin stacking it from back-to-front until it is full. But by taking a little time to organize will save you a lot of time in the future when you need to find something. Here are some things to consider when moving into a unit: Label Your Boxes, Bins, and Containers If you mark what type of items or specify the room contents on the outside of the box it will save you from digging through all your boxes when you need to find something. For example, simply marking “kitchenware” or “photography equipment” on the outside of your boxes will help you know directly where to go when you need to find a specific item. Place Frequently Used Items at the Front Take a moment to assess which things you use most and will potentially need to access in the near future. Keep those items at the front by the door and you won’t have to crawl over all your stuff to find the things you need. Sketch a Diagram Of all the suggestions, this one is probably the most ingenious. As you fill your unit, draw a sketch of where boxes and items are stored to reference when you need them in the future. Use Vertical Space Using shelves in Storage is a great way to maximize the efficiency of the space you have while keeping your stuff ...

Self Storage in Lincoln The threat of damaged storage typically comes by the climate, especially by changes in temperature and humidity. Oil paintings, for instance, must be dry a year before you can store them and should optimally be kept at 70-76°F and 40-50% humidity—never fluctuating more than five degrees within a twenty-four hour period. Also, artwork should be kept off the ground and only lightly covered with breathable, acid-free tissue paper. Before renting a unit, consider whether or not your property requires special care, namely a climate-controlled unit. Most items you need to worry about are listed below. What Not to Store Gasses/Toxins—aerosol cans, gasoline, propane tanks, paint, car batteries, pesticides, hairspray, etc. Candles and Scented Items—the smell will permeate boxes and plastic and seep into cloth. It will never leave. Also, there is nothing that will attract bugs faster than scents or liquid. Ammunition/Explosives—it’s illegal to store ammunition and explosives in most states. Units can become dangerously hot and, well, gunpowder and heat aren’t friends. Food/Liquid—don’t even risk it. Even canned food can bloat in storage over time, and if something should burst, you will be overrun with rodents and mold. Store in a Climate-Controlled Unit Artwork—beware humidity and temperature change. It can cause canvas sagging, paint cracking, frame distortion, sunspots, and more. Glass/Breakables—extreme temperature changes can weaken and break glass and even porcelain. Wool/Clothing/Carpets—sunlight can fade color, and humidity will cause molding. Books/Documents—heat and humidity are the danger with books and documents. If exposed to either, the paper’s shape will distort and its print will fade. Electronics—temperature and humidity will ruin electronic wiring and batteries and will increase the likeliness of oxidation. Wood—humidity will bend, expand, bubble, and decay wood furniture. Leather—extreme temperatures will crack leather and also fade the color. Coins—if you collect coins, know that humidity will cause oxidation of the zinc or copper metals. Any collectable items should be kept in a climate-controlled atmosphere. Musical Instruments—you MUST keep instruments in climate-controlled units. If you don’t, wind instrument strings snap or lose their ability to be tuned. Metal ...

1. Your car is out on the driveway because it can’t fit in the garage The definition of a garage is ‘a shed for housing a motor vehicle.’ If your car is sitting in the beating sunlight or enduring the rain and hail while your boxes are sitting safely in your garage. It’s time to get a storage unit. 2. Baby is on the way and your spare room is used for storage Whether it’s a baby or a need for a guest room, if you have a full sized room packed with boxes get a storage unit.

You’re moving to a new home Whether you’re upgrading or downsizing, a storage unit can help you ease the transition no matter the situation. You can move things out slowly and also unpack at your own pace. Downsizing to a smaller home also means you need to downsize your stuff. 4. You or a loved one attends college and is returning home for the summer Whether it’s across town or across the country, instead of bringing all their belongings with them to store in your garage. Or paying a housing lease to be unlived in. Renting a storage unit nearby can save so much time and money. Many facilities also give student discounts. 5. You own a small business Whether it’s for tools, documentation, a lawn mower or display materials exhibitions. The list can go on forever. Office spaces are expensive and it makes no sense to rent an extra room just to be used for storage. It also doesn’t make sense to store them in your garage, then we’re back to reason 1 you may need a storage unit. 6.

Natural disasters happen and we can only do so much to control the damage. However, we can do our best to protect our belongings before the storm starts. Below are 4 tips on preparing your storage unit before a storm. Insurance. Insurance is one of those things that most of us don’t worry about. We usually think that nothing bad will happen to us and we don’t need it. However, especially if you are storing your belongings in an area with frequent natural disasters it is important to make sure your items are covered. Some facilities require insurance, but if they don’t your personal insurance company can likely help you. This is a great preventative tool that can save you the financial strife of purchasing all new items in case of a hurricane, tornado, or other natural disaster. Store items on top of pallets. If it is possible, when you move into your storage unit try to store things on top of pallets with a tarp underneath. The tarp protects the floor from scratches and the pallets protect your items from water damage in case of a flood or hurricane. You can usually get pallets for free or extremely cost effectively from local shipping companies or other facilities. Remember to always check with the owner or manager of the facility to make sure this is in compliance with their rules! Check your unit before the storm starts. When you are aware that a storm is coming if it is still safe to do so, you should go to your unit and get anything extremely important out of it. For example, if you know you have stored birth certificates, or social security cards you should retrieve them before the storm. You should also check that the door is securely locked and things are as far off of the floor as possible. Check your unit after the storm. You should go to your unit and check on your items as soon as (safely) possible after the ...

Now that you have found the perfect storage facility you were looking for, you are ready to move all your stuff in right? Well, before you do, there are a few things you should know that might make your experience go a little smoother. First of all, think about what you're storing and for how long. Will anything need packed separately, or require special attention depending on how long it sits in storage? For example, you might have some wood furniture that you will be storing for a long time. It might be smart to add some wood preserver oil to the that furniture. Also, depending on the type of storage unit you have rent, climate control or non-climate control, be sure to plan how you will store your electronics if you have any. As you start packing up your items, remember that these items will most likely shift during the move to the storage facility, and then again when you take them out of the storage facility. Be sure to tape those boxes securely so they won't break apart. Also as you're packing your items use plenty of bubble wrap, packing paper, and blankets. When you get to your storage facility take a moment to look at the space you're working with and the items you need to store. It's almost like a game of Tetris. As you start moving your items into your storage unit, place the heavier and bulky items towards the bottom and the rear of the unit. While packing your unit, try your best to fit things as close as you can to one another in order to maximize your space. Keep in mind, as you move your items in, it is often smart to leave a pathway along the unit in order to grant future access to items in the back of the storage unit. This will help in case you ever need one item in the back of the unit later. Also, if ...

Have you ever wanted to set up an automatic payment plan but have been hesitant because you have never done it before? If your answer is yes, you are not alone. Anyone who has set up an AutoPay plan can tell you that it can be scary the first time, but in reality, it’s extremely beneficial and secure. Here are 4 reasons why: Reduced risk of identity theft. Many people believe paper bills are safer than electronic payments. However, experts say a paper bill sitting in a mailbox with your name and account number is actually putting yourself at a higher risk for identity theft than electronic payment. Lower cost. Checks, stamps, ATMS and your time - four things that are not free. However, AutoPay is. Paper billing is spending more money for less convenience. Stay on time. Late payments occasionally decrease your credit score and late fees are no fun either. Autopay allows effortless and timely payments. Peace of mind. You never have to miss a payment and you can add ‘stress’ to the list of things you won’t miss when you set up automatic payments. Your amount that you have to pay will automatically come out on the same day of your choice each month. Setting up automatic payments at your storage facility, will allow you to worry less and keep you from jolting out of bed in the morning when you realize you forgot to pay for your storage unit. Although AutoPay is convenient and secure, it may not be for everyone. If you don’t have a bank account or your income is very irregular, it may not be the ideal payment system for you. Consider these things before setting up an AutoPay plan. ...
