STORAGE TIPS

Maximize your storage space and keep your belongings safe with these helpful tips from ISC Batesville. Whether you’re storing personal items, business equipment, or seasonal gear, following these simple guidelines will ensure your items stay organized and protected throughout their stay with us.

1. Use Proper Packing Materials:
To keep your items safe and in good condition, invest in quality packing materials such as sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, packing peanuts, and furniture covers. Wrapping delicate items securely will protect them from damage during storage.

2. Label Everything:
Label all boxes and containers with clear descriptions of their contents. This will save you time when you need to retrieve items from your unit and prevent unnecessary digging. For fragile items, be sure to mark them as such.

3. Disassemble Large Furniture:
To make the most of your space, disassemble large furniture such as bed frames, tables, and shelves. This not only frees up room in your unit but also makes it easier to move items in and out when needed.

4. Store Heavier Items at the Bottom:
When packing your unit, always place heavier items at the bottom and lighter items on top. This will prevent damage to more fragile items and make stacking easier.

5. Keep Items Accessible:
Store frequently used items near the front of your unit for easy access. If you’re storing things you won’t need until later, pack them toward the back to avoid unnecessary rummaging.

6. Use Vertical Space:
Take advantage of vertical space in your unit by stacking boxes and containers as high as possible. Use sturdy shelves or pallets to keep items off the floor and reduce the risk of water damage.

7. Secure Your Unit:
For added peace of mind, lock your unit with a high-quality, weather-resistant lock. If you need any assistance in choosing the right lock or securing your unit, feel free to reach out to our team.

8. Plan for Long-Term Storage:
If you plan to store items for a long period, consider visiting your unit occasionally to check on your belongings and ensure everything is still in good condition. A quick inspection can help you catch any potential issues early.
