Storage Tips

1. Choose the Right Storage Unit Size
Estimate how much you plan to store before renting. Organize your items by size and use a storage size guide to help select a unit that fits your needs and budget.

2. Make the Most of Drive-Up Access
Take advantage of drive-up storage units to simplify loading and unloading. Place heavier items near the entrance to make moving boxes and furniture easier.

3. Use Sturdy Boxes and Containers
Pack your items in durable boxes or plastic containers to help protect them during storage. Use similarly sized boxes whenever possible to make stacking safer and more efficient.

4. Label Every Box Clearly
Write the contents of each box on multiple sides. Clear labels make it easier to locate specific items without having to unpack everything.

5. Create an Organized Storage Layout
Arrange your items by category and leave a small walkway when space allows. Keep frequently used belongings near the front for easier access.
6. Protect Furniture Before Storing
Clean and dry furniture before placing it in storage. Use furniture covers or protective materials to help prevent dust buildup and surface scratches.

7. Keep Important Items Accessible
Store seasonal decorations, frequently used supplies, and other essentials where you can reach them easily. Avoid placing items you need regularly behind heavy furniture or large stacks of boxes.

8. Maximize Vertical Space Safely
Stack sturdy boxes carefully, placing heavier items at the bottom and lighter items on top. Avoid unstable stacks and keep heavy belongings at a manageable height.

9. Take Advantage of 24-Hour Access
With 24-hour access at Morgantown Storage and Spanky's Mini-Storage, plan your visits around your schedule. Prepare a list of the items you need before visiting to make each trip more efficient.

10. Keep Your Storage Account Up to Date
Use the online bill pay feature to manage your storage payments conveniently. Keeping track of due dates and rental details helps you maintain an organized, hassle-free storage experience.
