A cluttered workspace can make it difficult to concentrate on business tasks. Take advantage of these storage tips from Bedrock Secure Self Storage and you can make the most of your time and money.

1. Make a list of what you will be storing in the unit.

This may seem obvious but how often have you packed boxes and forgotten to write down what's inside. Keep a running list of what's in your unit on a spreadsheet, website or a word document. This is valuable information you work from both home and the office. With proper packaging you can fit even more into a 10 feet by 12 feet space.

2. Consider Climate Control.

Central heating or air conditioning helps prevent warping, yellowing, mold and insect infestation. If you need to store computer parts climate control is a must. It can also provide a nicer atmosphere when you are retrieving or storing your items during the summer months.

3. Package Items Properly.

Although the units are water proof, fire proof and hurricane resistant additional measures should be taken to protect your possessions from the elements. Take particular caution with high value items.

Computers should be put in boxes and secured with packaging materials. Use foam peanuts or some other type of foam padding to provide extra insulation.

Paper work, documents and photo albums should be packed in boxes of the same size, in other words, only one size larger than the items themselves. Plastic file boxes are also another option as they are water proof.

Turn patio or office furniture on its side. When packing them into the space consider what you need access to most frequently and place these items close to the outside door.

The team at Bedrock can guide you through making the most of your space and work with you to ensure that you're choosing the size of space you need.
