Insure Your Goods In Storage
The goods you place in Redi Storage spaces are the sole responsibility of you, their owner. Goods are not insured by the storage facility. If the space is for business use, check with your company’s insurance provider to see if your coverage already has a provision for items stored outside your facility - you may already be covered.

Prohibited Storage Goods
Common sense and state laws determine what may be stored. You alone control access to your storage space; therefore, never store live animals, perishables, liquids, explosives, flammable liquids and fuels, toxic materials, or other items that need a controlled environment. Disconnect the battery cables to your equipment. Remember to drain the fuel from gasoline engines before storage.

Helpful Storage Tips

When storing electronics, do not turn them on or plug them in for at least 24 hours after storing them.
DO NOT use combination locks on your unit. Even a grade school kid can break into a combination lock!
In the Winter, your not the only one looking to stay warm. Little critters may find a way into your unit. Our offices have glue traps for you to place in your unit. Should something appear in your trap, be sure to inform the rental agent.
Place items that may need to be accessed before vacating the unit toward the front for easy access.
Label boxes. Keep a list of labeled boxes at your home or office for easy reference when you need to locate your goods.
Pack the storage space carefully. Leave air space around the perimeter to aid ventilation. Place a pallet on concrete floors and do not lean items against walls.
Leave a walkway to the rear of your space for easy access. Use all the space available, including the height, and place frequently used goods near the door.

Specific Storage Tips

Appliances: A refrigerator or freezer should be thoroughly dry and stored with its door slightly ajar. Some goods can be stored inside large appliances, and boxes can be stacked on top of stoves, refrigerators, and freezers. Make sure that stoves and cooking equipment are cleaned before they are stored. Refrigerators should be stored with its door slightly ajar. These larger items should be placed in the back of the unit.
Books, files, records, and documents: Pack books flat to protect their spines. Do not place boxes directly on concrete floors, but use pallets or skids to prevent moisture absorption. Use packing to fill out boxes. Do not pack fragile items in the same box with books and documents. Do not overload.
Fragile items: When stacking boxes that contain delicate items, place these on top of those containing heavy items. Label all boxes containing delicate items “FRAGILE”.
Furniture: Place a pallet, corrugated cardboard mat, or plastic sheet on the floor, and stand sofas and mattresses on end. Disassemble beds, tables, and other furniture and wrap table legs in paper. If furniture, such as a table, will not disassemble, place padding on the floor and place the table on its top with the legs pointing up. Keep upholstery off the floor. Place a light cotton bedsheet on your furniture.
Metal Items and Tools: All items should to be clean. To retard rust, wipe all metal surfaces with a rag containing a few drops of machine oil. Long handled tools such as rakes, shovels, and hoes should be cleaned, lightly oiled, and tied in bundles.
