Over the years we've been tenants in several storage units because sometimes you just need more space. There are lots of reasons to rent one, but there are also lots of tips and tricks to pick up along the way that they don't mention at the front desk when you sign up! Here are a few things we've learned in our adventures of paid storage, all of which we wish we would have known beforehand …

2. Wrap What You Can: Each time we use a storage unit, we wrap what we can in industrial plastic wrap. That way, we know that things are sealed up tight and it won't collect dust or creepy crawlies while it's doing time. Check out Uline for easy ordering of large rolls.
