There are things that we cannot simply give away or bring with us during our move.  So the next option for these items would be to put them in storage.  Before choosing a storage company, consider first the location.  Would it be convenient to you should you need anything from the storage facility?  How much do they charge?  What are they doing to ensure that your belongings are pest and rodent free?  How are their  security measures?

Self Storage companies can rent out climate controlled or non climate controlled storage areas for you to access anytime.  Consider the space.  How much space do you need to store y our belonings?  If you don’t really need a lot of space, then rent a smaller unit.  Even if you have a lot of stuff consider a small unit first then fill it up to the max.

Remember to use uniform size boxes and stack them according to weight.  The heavy ones go on the bottom while the lighter ones go on top.  Fill your boxes to the top.  Half filled boxes tend to collapse when stacked one on to of the other.  Do not store flammable and combustible materials in your storage facility.  If you need to store anything that uses gas, drain the tank before storage.  When organizing your self storage facility, try to put the most valuable items at the back and purchase a strong padlock in order to discourage thieves.
