Don’t Choose the Wrong Size

Jamming boxes into a too-small unit or paying for space you don’t need? Neither is ideal. Check our size guide for recommendations on the perfect size for your needs.

Don’t Forget to Consider Temperature Control

Some items simply can’t withstand severe fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Wood, electronics, art, photos, and vinyl records are just a few, and our temperature-controlled storage can help you keep them in tip-top shape.

Don’t Forget to Keep It Clean

We’ll always provide you with a clean storage unit, but the items you bring in can make a big difference in how clean it stays. Eliminating dust, dirt, debris, and bacteria from surfaces, linens, and other stored items before storing is the biggest thing you can do to keep your storage room clean for the long haul.

Don’t Skip the Bubble Wrap

Or sturdy boxes, or other protective packing and moving supplies that will protect your valuables. Our on-site selection contains everything you need to avoid accidental self storage mistakes.

Don’t Overlook Security

From 24/7 video surveillance to coded access gates, the security at your self storage facility can significantly reduce the risk of theft or vandalism. We’ve got beef with theft, vandalism, and any kind of “funny business,” so we take a proactive approach to security every day and night. To see what features are available at your nearby self storage facility, call or visit the Moove In location near you.

Don’t Wall Yourself Out

Our best organization tip? Create an aisle right down the middle of your space so you can walk through and access the back easily. It’ll save so much time and annoyance later when you don’t have to move everything to find what you need.

Don’t Waste Precious Space

If you fail to think vertically, you fail to maximize your space. Shelving units, clothing racks, and careful stacking can help max out the storage room you’re paying for.

Don’t Let Insurance Slide

Insurance is standard practice in the self storage industry and is used to protect you and your belongings if an unfortunate event happens that causes damage or loss of your stored items. The facility only has coverage on the buildings and property, so we require all tenants to have insurance to cover what is stored inside your storage unit or in your parking space. You can use your homeowner’s or renter’s policy, or you can purchase an affordable policy at any of our locations, which we offer through a third-party provider.
