Best Storage While Renovating

I hated to close my business down, even temporarily. But the building that I was operating out of needed major renovations. I considered just moving the business, but that would have been even more expensive, so I made the choice to shut down, do the renovations, and have a grand reopening. My major worry was where I was going to store my stock and equipment in the meantime. My contractor was actually the one that pointed me to a great commercial storage company. They helped me move my things into the storage unit, gave me great insurance just in case, and made sure my store’s important equipment and products were protected until I could reopen. Thanks to them, the renovations went smoothly, and I am now setting my store back up and planning for my grand reopening.

Many people end up having to turn to a storage facility to store their belongings. Whether it be because of trying to make more space in the home or due to having to relocate to another area, storage units can provide you with the extra space you need during this time of crisis. If you are looking at ways to keep your items safe and secure while they are inside of the storage unit, you can turn to some of the following methods to protect your belongings.

Plastic storage totes.

Plastic storage totes are a great way to save your items and keep them safe from possible water damage and rodents. Their durable nature allows you to pack just about anything you want into them. Once loaded, you can snap the lids securely in place and stack the totes on top of one another neatly. This helps to minimize the amount of space you need to store your belongings, without having to worry about your items getting damaged from the elements or pests who happened to get inside of your unit.

Pallets.

Pallets are a great way to keep your items off the ground, you can lay pallets down all across the ground and simply pack your belongings all on top of the pallets. If the ground were to condensate or rain were to leak inside of the unit, you can rest assured that your belongings are off the ground enough to where you aren't going to have to worry about them getting damaged from the excess water in the unit.

Plastic tarps.

Another great way to deal with condensation during the warmer spring and summer months is to lay down a bunch of plastic tarps to cover the floor of the storage unit. The tarps will help to form a barrier and keep your items dry at all times. They are relatively inexpensive and come in an assortment of different sizes. You can cover the entire ground and even up the sides of the unit a little bit to form a nice, solid barrier that repels water and prevents damage.

By going through the different options above, you can find something that is going to work for your needs and keep all of your belongings safe and secure inside of the unit for quite some time. The extra time to prepare will be well worth it all in the end. Contact a business, such as Statewide Self Storage, for more information.
