If this is your first time storing in a unit, this is your how-to guide for the best storage experience. Whether you need a unit for one month between moves, or storage for a decade for fine wine, Moishe’s Self Storage in New York City has the answer.
Know what you want to store
First and foremost, know what you want to store in your unit. Flammable and hazardous materials cannot be stored in a unit, so ensure your items do not fall into this category. Most things outside of these restrictions can be stored for long periods of time.
Examples include clothing, books, furniture, and miscellaneous household items. These can all be stored in a unit for short term or longterm storage.
Special consideration for valuable items
If you’re storing wine or art, these items need special care when storing. They should be in a climate-controlled unit with low light, regulated humidity, regulated temperature, and no vibration. Take a look at what we offer for New York City climate-controlled units.
Finding the best unit for you
Finding the perfect unit is easier than you think. Here’s how to do it:
1. Know what size unit you need
We have many unit sizes to choose from. Take a look at the sizes to determine the room you need.
If you need help deciding what room rise you need, refer to our Room Size Calculator for help.
2. Put things inside of things
To save space, put items in other items. As an example, put clothing or books inside furniture drawers.
3. Measure the largest item
Bring out the tape measurer and measure the height and width of the largest(s) item you wish to store. This will give you the most accurate idea of how big of a unit you will need.
Know how long you want to store
Knowing the duration of your stay will help you decide how you want to pack your thing in your unit. A longer stay may need air-tight containers to protect clothing or books from light or temperature.
