Insure your property. The property you place inside your storage space is your responsibility. Before you move into your storage unit, contact your insurance agent or ask the location manager to provide you with information about companies that can provide insurance coverage for your property.

Inspect your storage space. It is important to inspect the storage unit before you sign a lease. Some of the most valuable storage advice you can take is to make sure the unit size is adequate to fit all of your belongings. Look at the latch, door, light, and space to make sure there are no mechanical issues. Most storage facilities have multiple units and buildings, so inspecting your unit also helps remind you of the location and building your belongings are in.

Place pallets or skids on the concrete floor to eliminate direct contact with the concrete.

Determine the packing materials you need. We don’t just offer great storage unit tips, EZ Storage also carries bubble-wrap, tape, drop cloths, mattress and furniture covers, locks, a variety of boxes, and more!

Fill all your boxes to capacity. Partially full or bulking cartons may collapse or tip during your move. Heavy items like books or tools should be packed in small boxes so they are easy to lift.

Protect your fragile goods with packing (i.e. bubble wrap), and place them near the top of your storage space.

Label all of your boxes. Take home a list of labeled boxes for easy reference when you need to locate your goods.

We know your belongings are important to you so make sure you are storing your goods in a secure storage facility. See our security page for more information.
