STORAGE TIPS
Maximize your storage experience with these expert tips from Route 7 Climate Storage in Shelburne, VT.
Our goal is to help you keep your belongings safe, organized, and protected.
1. Choose the Right Unit Size
Select a unit that fits all your items comfortably without overcrowding. Take inventory of your belongings and consider using a size guide to determine the perfect fit for your needs. Proper sizing ensures easy access and reduces the risk of damage.
2. Use Climate-Controlled Units for Sensitive Items
Protect delicate items like electronics, antiques, photos, and important documents by storing them in a climate-controlled unit. This prevents damage from humidity, temperature fluctuations, and Vermont’s seasonal weather changes.
3. Pack Smart and Stay Organized
Use sturdy boxes, label everything clearly, and keep frequently used items near the front of your unit. Stack heavier items on the bottom and lighter items on top to avoid crushing. Consider creating an inventory list to know exactly what’s in your unit.
4. Protect Your Belongings
Wrap fragile items in bubble wrap or furniture blankets. Avoid storing perishable goods, hazardous materials, or anything that could leak. Using proper packing materials helps keep your items safe and your unit clean.
5. Maximize Accessibility
Store items you may need often near the front of your unit for easy access. Leave walkways inside the unit so you can move around without disturbing other items, making your storage experience more convenient.
6. Use Quality Locks
Invest in a high-quality lock for your unit. Even though our facility is fenced, gated, and monitored with 24/7 security cameras, a strong lock adds an extra layer of protection for peace of mind.
7. Take Advantage of Online Management
Pay your bill online, check your account, and manage your unit from anywhere. Our online bill pay system makes it easy to stay organized and ensure your storage experience is hassle-free.
