When it comes to keeping your belongings safe and organized, a mini storage unit is an ideal solution. Whether you’re downsizing, moving, or just need extra space, Volunteer Mini Storage offers secure and convenient options to fit your needs. But what kinds of items are best suited for storage in a mini storage unit? Here’s a helpful guide to make sure you get the most out of your storage experience.
Many people use storage units to free up space at home by storing seasonal items. This can include holiday decorations, seasonal clothing, outdoor furniture, gardening tools, and sporting equipment like skis, snowboards, or bicycles. Storing these items during the off-season helps keep your living space clutter-free.
If you’re moving or renovating, storing furniture and household goods in a mini storage unit is a smart choice. Sofas, tables, chairs, mattresses, and other household items stay protected from damage and weather. Just be sure to cover your furniture with protective sheets or blankets to prevent dust and scratches.
Small business owners can benefit from using mini storage units to store extra inventory, seasonal stock, or office supplies. This helps keep your workspace organized and free of clutter, while still having easy access to your products or materials.
For those who need extra space for paperwork, storage units are perfect for storing boxes of files, documents, and records. Using waterproof containers or filing cabinets helps protect sensitive information from moisture or damage.
Mini storage units can keep your collections safe—whether it’s antiques, artwork, collectibles, or family heirlooms. Proper packing and climate control (if available) will help preserve the condition of your treasured items.
While mini storage units are versatile, there are some items you should avoid storing, including perishable food, hazardous materials (like paint or gasoline), living plants or animals, and any illegal items. Always check with Volunteer Mini Storage about any specific restrictions.
