Our Top 5 Things You Never Thought to Store (and Some You Never Should.)

A recent study found that more than seven million American households have at least one piece of furniture stored in a self-storage unit. We agree that self-storage is a great option to store furniture, appliances, electronics, books and other common storage items. But, there are some things that many people don’t consider using a Sparta self-storage unit for. Here are our top five unlikely things perfect for storage.

#1 Valuables

Your valuables that just won’t quite fit in a safe deposit box can be just as secure in the proper self-storage unit.

#2 Luggage

As much as we like the sound of it, not many people are able to live on a permanent vacation. Free up that closet space and put your luggage on a vacation of its own.

#3 Memories

Avoid the hole digging or shuttle launching, use your storage unit as a time capsule. Gather up recent memories of everyday life and give them to the safety of a storage unit.

#4 Registered Vehicles and Other Motorized Toys

Anything from sports cars, motorcycles, or jet skis, a storage unit can help you free up the space in your garage for your everyday vehicles. (see our tips for storing vehicles here)

#5 Clothing

Costumes, winter coats and all those other items that just don’t seem to fit in the closet, will find plenty of room in a storage unit. Make sure everything is dry and neatly folded before boxing up and consider using moth balls or cedar chips to protect against insects.

Although there are many things you can store in an Ogdensburg self-storage unit, there are some that you absolutely shouldn’t. We do not allow anything containing combustible chemicals like paint thinner, paint, or gasoline. Food or other perishable items are also discouraged, unless you have a climate controlled unit. Even pet items like bagged pet food, treats or raw hide could attract unwanted visitors to the self-storage unit.  Questions about storing your items? Reach out to us.
