Temperature-Controlled Storage

When choosing a storage unit, you’re often met with a variety of options. What size unit do you need? Should you choose drive-up access or an inside unit? Is temperature-controlled storage a good fit for your items? 

Depending on what you’re storing, a standard storage unit may be a perfect fit for keeping your items. However, certain items require additional steps to make sure they’re kept in the best condition, especially if you plan to use storage for an extended period of time. Thankfully, some of our locations offer temperature-controlled storage to keep even your most delicate belongings looking their best.

Do I need temperature-controlled storage?

When storing sensitive items, you’ll want to opt for a temperature-controlled unit. Delicate belongings may be at risk of warping, cracking, or melting when exposed to extreme temperature and humidity for an extended period of time. Items that benefit from temperature-controlled storage include:

• Vinyl records
• Wooden furniture
• Instruments
• Important documents
• Artwork
• Electronics
• Books
• Leather products
• Family heirlooms

Preparing Your Items for Temperature-Controlled Storage

As you prepare to move your items into storage, it’s important to take steps to properly store them to ensure they come out looking just as great as they went in. Though exposure to elements is limited with temperature-controlled storage, take time to carefully pack items and arrange your storage space. 

Place larger items and anything you won’t need to access often toward the back of your unit and off the floor with the help of wooden pallets. Leaving space above and below stacks of boxes and between the walls of your unit and your items will allow for ventilation.

Ensure clothing items and furniture are free of stains and dry to reduce the risk of attracting pests and limit the chance of mold or mildew developing over time. Many of our facilities offer packing and moving supplies for sale if you find yourself short on boxes or realize you forgot the tape at home.
