Storage Tips
At Red Storage, we want to ensure that your storage experience is seamless and efficient. Whether you're storing household items, seasonal belongings, or a vehicle, following a few simple tips will help keep everything organized and safe. Here are some helpful storage tips to maximize your space and keep your items in great condition:
1. Choose the Right Unit Size
Before moving your items into storage, take a moment to estimate how much space you'll need. You can use our online size guide or contact us for assistance in selecting the perfect unit size. This will help you avoid overcrowding and make the most out of your storage unit.
2. Pack Smart and Organize Efficiently
Use sturdy boxes for packing and label each box with its contents. For items you might need access to frequently, make sure they are placed near the front of your unit. Stack boxes and containers in a way that maximizes vertical space, and always place heavier items at the bottom. For fragile items, use bubble wrap or packing paper for extra protection.
3. Climate-Controlled Units for Sensitive Items
If you have temperature-sensitive items like electronics, antiques, or important documents, consider storing them in one of our climate-controlled units. These units maintain a consistent temperature and humidity level, ensuring your items stay in excellent condition.
4. Protect Your Vehicle
If you're storing a vehicle in our indoor vehicle parking, make sure to clean it thoroughly and remove any perishable items. Top off fluids, inflate tires to the correct pressure, and consider using a cover to protect it from dust and debris while in storage.
5. Avoid Storing Prohibited Items
For your safety and the safety of others, be sure to follow the guidelines for what can and cannot be stored. Hazardous materials, perishable food, and items that emit odors are not allowed. For a full list of prohibited items, please refer to our rental agreement or contact us for clarification.
6. Utilize Dollies and Handcarts
Moving large or heavy items is made easier with the use of our dollies and handcarts, available on-site. This helps reduce the risk of injury and ensures a quicker, smoother move-in process.
7. Security is Key
At Red Storage, we take security seriously. Our fully fenced and secure facility features high-tech security cameras, gated access, and 24/7 surveillance, giving you peace of mind knowing your belongings are well-protected.
