If you have storage needs, you might consider keeping your items in an Ocala, Florida storage unit. Choosing storage means that you entrust your items to a responsible third party. When you work with US Storage Centers, that third party is our secure facility staffed by our knowledgeable, responsive team. Although we handle the job of keeping your items safe and clean, there are certain steps you need to take as the tenant to ensure that your items are in the same condition when you pick them up that they were when you dropped them off. Below are a few tips to help you protect your items while they are in storage. Do Use your Space Efficiently Our website provides a guide to all our storage units that compares each to a room, making it easier for you to visualize a space before you rent it. For example, our five foot by five foot unit is approximately the size of a small bathroom. Although each unit is compared to a room in your home, remember that you will not be using your unit as a functional room. You can stack items to the ceiling and push pieces of furniture against each other to make efficient use of the smallest unit you need. Do Not Create a Falling or Crushing Hazard in your Unit Although you will stack your items and work them into the space, do not create an unstable stack of boxes or create a situation where items can fall and either become broken or hurt you or another individual who enters the unit. Stack lighter objects on top of heavier objects and do not put anything so high that you cannot easily reach it with a step stool. Always make sure your supporting items and structures are securely on the floor, rather than in a precarious position. Do Pack Items to Protect Them from Harm When you pack your items to keep them in storage, pack them with care. Make use of bubble wrap, packing peanuts, and air pillows to absorb any shock to your items during moving or the natural settling of their boxes in your storage unit. Do Not Store Any Prohibited Items These include explosives and flammable items. Familiarize yourself with our list of items that are prohibited from being kept in storage units or entering the property. In addition to dangerous items, animals may not be brought onto the property or housed in storage units.
