💡 Storage Tips – Make the Most of Your Space

Storing your belongings doesn’t have to be stressful. Whether you’re keeping personal items, business inventory, or vehicles and boats, City Closet Self Storage has put together a comprehensive guide to make your storage experience safe, organized, and efficient.


1. Label and Organize Like a Pro 📝

  • Clearly label each box with contents and the room it belongs to.
  • Use an inventory list or photos to track your items, making retrieval simple and quick.
  • Group items by category (holiday décor, tools, clothing) to avoid clutter and confusion.

2. Pack Smart and Use Uniform Boxes 📦

  • Choose stackable, uniform boxes to maximize vertical space and keep your unit tidy.
  • Heavy items should go in small boxes; lighter items in larger boxes.
  • Wrap fragile or valuable items in bubble wrap, blankets, or padding to prevent damage.

3. Make the Most of Your Space 🏢

  • Use shelving or racks to take advantage of vertical space.
  • Create aisles between stacks to easily access everything.
  • Place frequently used items near the front of your unit and seasonal or rarely used items at the back.

4. Choose the Right Unit and Access 🌡️

  • Consider climate-controlled units for electronics, artwork, documents, and other sensitive items.
  • If storing a vehicle, boat, or specialized item, check unit dimensions and facility access hours.
  • Some locations offer 24-hour access for Music Studios or Flex Spaces—plan accordingly.

5. Keep It Clean and Secure 🧹🔒

  • Store only clean, dry items to prevent pests and damage.
  • Keep items off the floor using pallets or tarps.
  • Always use a strong padlock for your unit. Consider insurance coverage for added peace of mind.

6. Shipping and Special Storage Options 📦🚚

  • Tenants of Music Studios and Flex Spaces can ship and receive packages directly at the facility.
  • Check your location for vehicle or boat storage, warehouse space, or other specialized unit types.
  • Make sure your storage plan aligns with your facility’s operating rules and access hours.

7. Final Tips for Stress-Free Storage ✅

  • Take your time planning and organizing your unit—proper setup now saves time later.
  • Reassess your storage needs occasionally to avoid overfilling your space.
  • Keep a list of emergency contacts or facility managers for quick support if needed.
