- Create an aisle in the center of your storage unit so you can comfortably reach everything.
- Remove legs from tables and other furniture and store on their ends to save space.
- Protect old photographs from curling over time by placing them between two pieces of cardboard, taped together.
- Always drain gasoline and oil from items with engines.
- Never store live animals, perishables, liquids, explosives, flammable liquids and fuels, toxic materials or other items that need a controlled environment.
- Use trash cans to store items like shovels, hoes and rakes.
- Cover mattresses with plastic and store flat on level surfaces.
- Use protective covers and treat wood surfaces before storing.
