STORAGE TIPS
Make the most of your storage unit with these simple, effective tips from Midway Climate-Controlled Storage.
1. Plan Ahead
Before move-in day, make a list of items you plan to store and choose the right unit size. Group similar items together to keep your space organized and accessible.
2. Use Quality Packing Materials
Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape to protect your belongings. Label each box clearly with its contents and room location for easier unpacking.
3. Maximize Your Space
Disassemble large furniture and stack boxes to make full use of your unit’s vertical space. Place heavier items on the bottom and lighter ones on top to avoid damage.
4. Store Smart
Place items you’ll need to access frequently near the front of your unit. Leave a small walkway down the center for easy access to the back of the space.
5. Protect Your Belongings
Use covers for mattresses, furniture, and electronics. For temperature-sensitive items, consider renting a climate-controlled unit to prevent warping, mold, or other damage.
6. Avoid Storing Prohibited Items
Do not store food, flammable materials, hazardous chemicals, or anything perishable. Check with our office if you're unsure whether an item is allowed.
7. Use Pallets or Shelving
Keep items off the floor with pallets or plastic bins to avoid moisture buildup and improve airflow throughout your unit.
