STORAGE TIPS
Expert tips to pack, organize, and protect your belongings in our secure Hartford, VT storage units.
At Catamount Self Storage, we want your storage experience to be as simple and stress-free as possible. Whether you’re storing household goods, contractor equipment, or an RV, boat, or vehicle, following a few smart storage tips can help keep your belongings safe and organized.
1. Plan Ahead
Before moving items into your storage unit, make a list of everything you’ll store and consider how often you’ll need access. Place frequently used items near the front for easy reach.
2. Use Quality Packing Supplies
Protect your valuables with sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, and covers for furniture or vehicles. Label each box clearly to make locating items easy later.
3. Maximize Space Efficiently
Disassemble large furniture and stack items vertically to make the most of your unit’s space. Store heavier items on the bottom and lighter ones on top for safety.
4. Protect Against the Elements
Our radiant floor heated, indoor units provide excellent protection, but it’s still smart to use moisture-resistant containers and covers—especially for sensitive equipment or electronics.
5. Secure Your Belongings
Choose a strong lock and make sure all valuables are stored out of sight. With 24/7 access, security cameras, and a fully gated facility, you can store with total confidence.
6. Take Advantage of Online Tools
Use our online bill pay and rental system to manage your storage conveniently from anywhere. Have questions? Our friendly team is available 24/7 at (802) 29-4UNIT (294-8648) to help you every step of the way.
