When moving from one place to another or even if one has just acquired more stuff in their life, they may need to rent a self-storage unit. It may seem like a pretty cut and dry decision that requires not a whole lot of thought, but there are several factors to consider when renting Storage Units in Coweta County. Here are a few expert tips to consider before signing the contract.
Grab Those Pallets
Make sure to put everything on pallets. It is crucial to keep belongings off of the floor because there may be adverse weather conditions that can affect items, even when locked up in storage. If the climate one lives in has a snowy climate, the floor may be subject to flooding when the snow melts. The same can also happen if there are torrential downpours. Even though there are seals at the bottom of the doors, they are far from waterproof.
Wrap It Up
When storing such items as furniture, experts recommend to wrap them in an industrial-strength plastic wrap. This can save the items from being chewed and otherwise attack by rodents, cockroaches, and other critters. It can also protect materials from unwanted moisture and mildew. While wrapping the belongings located in Storage Units in Coweta County may be a bit pricey upfront, it is far cheaper than paying to replace damaged items or suffering the loss of priceless family heirlooms.
Lock It Up
Many storage units come with their locks, but they are generally inadequate to sufficiently secure against bolt cutters and other tools that criminals favor. Instead, try buying a sturdy padlock which possesses a short arm to negate the entry and use of any such tools. Pick an all-weather lock so that the rain and other adverse weather does not have a negative effect on the metal of the lock.
