Long Term Storage Planning

Benefits of Long Term Storage with Ample Storage

Long term storage offers a practical solution for keeping your belongings safe and organized. At Ample Storage in Reno, our self-storage units provide a secure and convenient option for decluttering your home, protecting valuable items, and creating more space. Whether you're looking for a short-term solution or planning for extended use, self-storage can make life easier. Here's why long term storage with Ample Storage is a smart choice and how to prepare your unit for the best results.

#1 Save Space and Declutter Your Home

Long term storage is an ideal way to free up space in your home without parting with cherished belongings. Many of us hold onto sentimental items or seasonal decorations like Christmas lights, but storing them at home can lead to clutter. A self-storage unit at Ample Storage lets you keep these items safe and accessible while maintaining a tidy living space.

#2 Temporary Storage During Home Renovations

Renovations can disrupt your home’s organization. Instead of crowding rooms with displaced furniture and belongings, use a storage unit at Ample Storage to keep everything out of the way. With secure, long term storage, you can focus on your project without worrying about your items.

#3 Make Room for Family or New Items

Preparing for a new baby, welcoming a family member, or simply upgrading furniture? Ample Storage offers the perfect solution for keeping your items safe. Use a storage unit to clear out rooms while keeping your possessions secure, allowing you to create space without giving up treasured furniture or keepsakes.

#4 Protect Important Items

Long term storage at Ample Storage provides peace of mind with 24/7 security, gated access, and locked units. For valuable items or possessions not used frequently, our facilities ensure added protection that goes beyond what you might have at home.

Long Term Storage Packing Tips

Planning and packing thoughtfully are key to preserving your belongings in long term storage. Follow these tips to ensure your items remain in excellent condition during their stay at Ample Storage.

#1 Determine Your Storage Space Needs

Before renting a unit, take inventory of the items you plan to store. For just a few boxes, a smaller unit may suffice. However, for larger items or an entire room, opt for a unit that provides plenty of space for easy organization. At Ample Storage, we offer a range of sizes from 5x5 to 20x20.

#2 Pack Items Properly

Different materials require different packing methods. For instance, leather furniture should be cleaned with a leather solution and covered with sheets or sofa covers. Delicate items should be cushioned to prevent damage, while household appliances should be cleaned and left slightly open to prevent mildew.

#3 Consider Climate Control

Certain items, such as electronics or wood furniture, are sensitive to extreme temperatures. Ample Storage offers climate-controlled units to protect these belongings from heat or cold, ensuring they remain in pristine condition.

#4 Get Storage Insurance

For extra peace of mind, consider storage insurance. While optional in many cases, it adds an extra layer of protection for your items during their stay at Ample Storage.
