Essential Self Storage Tips for winter
After
the holidays are over, there always seems to be a lot more to store. When your
post-holiday home needs a bit of clearing out, our storage units provide a safe
and affordable way to do so; however, storing valuable items throughout the
winter requires a certain amount of forethought. Since keeping your belongings
protected is our biggest priority, we offer these tips to help you to improve
your winter storage experience.
Keep Items Off of the Ground
Because
of the bitter cold, keeping valuables off of the ground is vitally important to
their integrity. Ever sleep on the floor in an unheated home? The ground is the
coldest part of a storage unit, much colder than the surrounding air. A great,
inexpensive way to keep goods off the ground is using wooden pallets and old
blankets.
Keep Items Insulated
Speaking
of blankets, it is important to keep certain objects well insulated during
storage. Sensitive things like electronics, canvas artwork, and old photos can suffer
greatly from condensation and temperature variances as the bright sun gives way
to the icy winter night. Wrapping these kinds of items in a thick layer of
bubble wrap, blankets, and other insulators will keep them safe. If you are
storing something irreplaceable, it may be best to keep it out of storage until
the weather gets warmer. Replace that vintage guitar with a couple storage
totes filled with summer clothes to keep your valuables safe and your closets
empty.
Take Precautions
There
can also be a safety concern when walking outside in the winter weather. Rain
turns to ice, which can pool on the ground, creating a treacherous working
environment. Sand, cat litter, and plywood can be used to cover the ice and
make your self storage experience a safe one.
Rent a Climate Controlled Unit
If you
are willing to pay a little bit extra to protect your belongings, climate
controlled storage might be for you. These units keep the temperature steady
and comfortable so that your important items are less likely to sustain any
damage. For those storing irreplaceable family heirlooms or important
documents, climate controlled units may be especially useful.
We are
proud to offer the best self
storage in Richmond VA and the surrounding area, and we want to ensure that
you and your valuables are secure. With these useful tips for safe and
effective storage, you will be able to clear out your post-holiday home and never
have to worry about your possessions, ever.

Thanks for share this post I also share with you something hope you like my post.Fill containers to capacity or fill spaces with packaging material.Pack heavy items into small boxes, this will make them easier to move.Label every box so that you can find what you need later. Leave space to reach the back of the unit and put frequently used items near the front.Don't use newsprint to pack anything that can be stained by the ink.Metal objects like tools and bikes should be wiped with a rag containing machine oil to prevent rust. Thanks

Self storage differs from some other storage solutions in that you have complete control of your storage unit. Unlike some storage solutions where you pay a high fee and sign a contract that allows you limited access to your goods - usually in which the storage company is present each time you remove or add something to your storage unit - self storage allows you to avoid all of that.
