STORAGE TIPS

Make the most of your storage unit with these expert tips from Exit 16 Self Storage, conveniently located near Burlington, VT.
Whether you're storing for a move, business, or decluttering project, these tips will help keep your items safe, organized, and easy to access.
1. Pack Smart:
Use sturdy boxes and label each one clearly on multiple sides. Group similar items together and create a list of contents for quick reference. Fill boxes completely to avoid collapsing and stack heavier boxes on the bottom.

2. Maximize Space:
Disassemble furniture when possible to save room. Store couches vertically and use drawers or cabinets to store smaller items. Leave walkways between rows for easy access to your belongings.

3. Protect Your Items:
Use covers for mattresses, upholstered furniture, and electronics. Wrap fragile items in bubble wrap and avoid using plastic bags, which can trap moisture.

4. Keep It Clean and Safe:
Avoid storing anything hazardous, perishable, or illegal. Use pallets or plastic bins to elevate your belongings off the floor, and cover items with breathable materials to protect them from dust. Our secure, gated facility and 24/7 surveillance will help ensure your items stay safe and sound.

5. Plan for Access:
Place frequently used items near the front of your unit. Store seasonal items, tools, or holiday decorations in labeled bins so you can find them quickly when needed.
