It is important to take into consideration several aspects before storing your things in a self-storage unit. You are likely familiar with self-storage, which allows you to put your things away from your house or apartment. Many other things are possible, but here are three that are very important.

1. Inventory everything Before putting it inside the Mini Storage Unit

It is important to take pictures of the contents of your mini storage before placing any items inside. Take photos or make a checklist of all the items you will be placing in your mini-storage unit. It may appear silly to take photos of the contents, but it will help you avoid wondering if what you put in there is still there.

You can also consider placing smaller items into clear plastic containers.

I think it depends on the items you plan to store in your mini storage. It is not necessary to repackage items that are primarily larger. When you want to store a collection of small things in a storage unit, it is best to use clear plastic containers. It is important to keep everything in order, and it’s also helpful to be able see inside of the containers.

Elevate At Least 100cm Your Furniture From The Ground

You need to consider whether the unit is flood resistant or not. If it’s the latter, then you will want to raise your possessions 100 centimeters above the floor. Although this may not be always possible, depending on what mini storage provider you work with, most will allow you the option to use something like cinderblocks as a floor foundation before you put your valuables into the unit. Using cinderblocks or similar items as a foundation on the floor will make your goods extra secure.

These steps will increase your chances of having all belongings stored safely and securely in the storage unit that you choose. Even though insurance is a great idea, no insurer will accept a claim without concrete evidence. We recommend that you make an accurate inventory of all the items in the storage unit.
