Helpful Storage Tips
Use these tips to get the most use from your Z-Best self storage unit and to keep your possessions free from damage.
• Use a quality lock! We provide locks for your convenience.
• Store your belongings on a pallet to prevent moisture absorption.
• Use a dust cover or mattresses bag to store mattresses and furniture
• Don’t store food or perishable items! Canned items may freeze and burst and dried foods can attract rodents and other pests.
• When stacking boxes, place the heaviest box on the bottom
•Keep your keys in a safe place.
• Do not pack fragile items with newspaper. Newspaper ink can rub off and stain your items.
• Take advantage of the height of your unit, store long objects on end whenever possible. Always leave a lane open in the middle of your unit so you can access all of your items.
• Drape plastic only over the top of objects, or if wrapping objects, use cloth/paper. Plastic can trap moisture and promote mildew.
• Store items that are used the least first, so you can easily reach the items you use more often.
