If you are looking
for a solution for those bulky, awkward items check out this helpful guide for
storing unusual items in a storage unit!
You
can store cars in storage units! Typically, units sized 10x30 and above work
best for most mid-sized cars. We recommend cleaning your car, disconnecting the
battery, changing the oil, covering the exhaust pipe, and purchasing a good car
cover before storing your vehicle. If possible, it is a good idea to check on
your car and drive it every 4-6 months.
Storing
a mattress properly in a storage unit is important to keep them from getting
moldy. We recommend cleaning the mattress before storing it and then wrapping
the mattress in a thinner, breathable plastic. Wrapping a mattress too tightly
can keep odors and moisture trapped inside. We also recommend laying the
mattress flat and keeping everything off the mattress while storing.

It is
important to keep the door slightly open when storing a refrigerator or a
freezer to prevent moisture from getting trapped inside. Thoroughly clean your
fridge, unplug it, and allow it to fully defrost and come to room temperature
before putting it into your storage unit. We recommend storing your fridge
upright and covering it with a light blanket or sheet.
Disassemble your
drum set to store it properly in a storage unit. We recommend keeping all
hardware from the set in small zip lock bags and labeling each bag. Keep the
cymbals in a padded case, and store all drums in a box separate from the
drumheads. We also recommend wrapping the legs in bubble wrap.
