STORAGE TIPS
Maximize your storage experience at OverFlow Storage Solutions in Gastonia, NC, with these helpful tips.
Whether you’re storing personal items, business inventory, or vehicles, these strategies will help keep everything secure, organized, and protected.
Selecting the correct unit size is crucial. Use our size guide or make a list of all items to estimate space. OverFlow Storage Solutions offers a variety of options, from small personal units to large spaces for RVs, boats, and vehicles.
Items like electronics, documents, artwork, or antiques can be damaged by extreme temperatures or humidity. Opt for our climate-controlled units to protect your valuables year-round.
Clearly label boxes and group similar items together. Place frequently used items near the front of the unit for easy access. Consider using dollies or handcarts for safer, easier moving.
Use protective coverings, furniture pads, or shrink wrap for fragile items. Keep items off the floor using pallets or shelving to prevent moisture damage.
Our fenced and gated facility with security cameras ensures safety, but you can add an extra layer by using a high-quality lock on your unit.
For RVs, boats, or vehicles, use covered (coming soon) or uncovered parking depending on your needs. Disconnect batteries, fill fuel tanks, and protect exteriors with car covers when necessary.
Arrange items logically, with heavier boxes on the bottom and lighter items on top. Leave space for walking lanes so you can access items without moving everything around.
Store items you’ll need frequently near the entrance. Our units offer drive-up access for convenience, making it easy to load or unload larger items.
Maintain a detailed inventory of everything stored. This is helpful for insurance purposes and ensures nothing gets misplaced over time.
