How do you store antique figurines in a storage unit?

Self storage units offer a wide range of options for storing various items, making them a versatile solution for individuals and businesses alike. Furniture, including sofas, tables, chairs, and beds, can be safely stored in self-storage during moves, renovations, or when extra space is needed. Seasonal items like holiday decorations, winter clothing, or sports equipment can be conveniently stored until their next use. Vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, boats, and RVs can be securely stored in self storage when not in use, especially if space is limited at home. Businesses can benefit from self storage by storing inventory, supplies, or important documents and archives. Appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, or electronics such as televisions and computers can also be stored safely. Personal belongings such as clothing, books, photo albums, and sentimental items find a secure place in self storage units. Business equipment, tools, machinery, and excess inventory can be conveniently stored, freeing up valuable office or retail space. Artwork, antiques, and collectibles can be protected in climate-controlled units to prevent damage from temperature fluctuations and humidity. Construction materials, tools, and furniture can be stored during construction or renovation projects. Self storage also provides off-site document storage for individuals and businesses needing to store important files, records, or legal documents. With their flexibility and security, self storage units accommodate a wide array of items and serve various storage needs effectively.

While Yellowhead Storage does not require users to hold insurance. It is highly recommended; this is best done through your home/ car provider or a specialized storage insurance provider.

Preserving collectibles involves careful handling, proper storage, and regular maintenance. Always handle collectibles with clean, dry hands or wear gloves to avoid transferring oils and dirt. Use appropriate cleaning methods tailored to each item’s materials to prevent damage. Store collectibles in climate-controlled environments away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Use archival-quality materials for storage, such as acid-free boxes and UV-protective display cases. Regularly inspect items for signs of deterioration or damage and adjust storage conditions as needed to ensure long-term preservation.

Protecting valuable or sentimental items requires special care. Use high-quality packing materials like acid-free tissue paper or bubble wrap. Choose climate-controlled storage to prevent temperature and humidity-related damage. Store items in secure, airtight containers. Consider using a safe or locked cabinet for smaller valuable items. Keep an inventory of stored valuable items and their condition.

Storage containers come in a variety of sizes, so it is important to choose the right one for your needs. If you are only storing a small number of items, then a smaller container may be sufficient. When choosing a storage container, be sure to consider the following factors:

• The size of the items you need to store
• The number of items you need to store

If you are unsure about what size storage container you need, it is best to contact a storage company for more information. Our team at Yellowhead Storage is here to help you choose the right storage solution for your needs. Give us a call today!

Safeguarding fragile items requires careful packing and positioning. Wrap fragile items individually in several layers of bubble wrap or packing paper, ensuring extra cushioning for delicate parts. Use sturdy, appropriately sized boxes and fill any voids with packing material to prevent shifting during storage or transportation. Label these boxes as fragile and place them on top of heavier, sturdier items to prevent crushing or damage.
