For long-term storage, add wood preserver oil to your furniture to prevent drying. If you are storing electronics in our standard units, ensure they are boxed with silica gel packets to manage moisture during Rexburg's seasonal shifts.
Remember that items shift during transport and while being moved into the unit. Tape your boxes securely and use plenty of bubble wrap, packing paper, and moving blankets.
Efficiently organizing your unit at 2866 Mendoza Dr ensures your belongings stay safe and accessible throughout the year.
Foundation First: Place your largest, heaviest items—like appliances and solid wood furniture—at the bottom and toward the back.
Create an Access Aisle: Leave a narrow walkway (about 12–18 inches) down the center so you can reach the back without unloading the whole unit.
Visibility is Key: Turn boxes so labels face the aisle. You should be able to identify any box at a single glance.
Utilize Vertical Height: Take advantage of the 8-foot interior height in our "Big Baker" 10x35 units. Use sturdy bins for the bottom of stacks and save the top for lighter items.
Avoid placing sensitive items directly against exterior walls. Use pallets or cardboard on the floor to provide extra airflow and protection against the cold.
Finally, secure your unit with a high-quality disc lock. We recommend these over standard padlocks because they are much more resistant to bolt cutters, providing your unit with maximum security.
