What to Store in a Self Storage Unit in Texas

Looking for an easy way to declutter and organize your life? Why not rent a self storage unit? It’s a secure and affordable way to help you store items you don’t need on a daily basis.

Wondering what you can store in a self storage unit in Texas? From household items to holiday decorations to business inventory, here are just some of the things you can store at Texas Mega Storage.

Household Goods

Furniture

Furniture can take up significant space in a home. You may not have the extra room to store sofas, chairs or tables you’re not using on a daily basis. Whether you’re renovating, moving or need to free up some space, a storage unit is the perfect place to keep your extra furniture. To keep everything in good condition and prevent damage and dust, properly wrap your furniture before storing.

Seasonal Decorations

Seasonal items like Christmas trees, holiday lights and Halloween decorations help make certain months more festive. During the rest of the year, however, they can take up a great deal of room, cluttering up your home. Storing off-season decorations and other items can help keep your home organized. When the holiday season rolls around again, your items will be easy to access.

Clothing

Out-of-season clothes can take up a lot of closet space. Why not keep the clothing you aren’t wearing in storage? Ensure that all clothing is clean and dry to prevent mildew and mold growth in Texas’s humid environment. Vacuum-sealed bags can help save space and offer further protection to your clothes.

Moving Storage

Are you planning a big move in the Spring, Texas, area? We can help! A self storage unit offers you a flexible and secure space to store moving boxes and furniture while you move into your new home. And with Texas Mega Storage’s flexible month-to-month contracts, you’ll never have to pay for a longer rental term than you need.

Sporting Goods

Here in Texas, we like to have fun outside. Whether you like fishing, biking, kayaking or camping, the Spring, Texas, area offers so many opportunities to get outside. But recreational items can take up a lot of room at home. A storage unit can help keep everything safe until it’s time to have fun outside again.

Vehicles

Cars, RVs and Trailers

Have a car you’re not planning on driving for a while or an RV that needs a place to park in between road trips? Keep your vehicle safe and off your property by storing it at a fenced-in, gated storage facility. With both covered and uncovered parking options, you’re sure to find the storage option that works best for you and your vehicle.

Boats

When you’re not out enjoying Lake Conroe or Lake Houston, you’ll need a place to keep your boat. Our covered and uncovered vehicle storage is also perfect for storing your boat until your next weekend trip.

Smaller Vehicles

Store your small vehicles, such as motorcycles, ATVs, jet skis, dirt bikes and more, in one of our storage units. When you’re ready for your next adventure, just pull up, unlock your unit and go have fun!

Collections

Antiques and Art

Antiques and art are vulnerable to changes in temperature. We recommend keeping them in one of our climate-controlled units so that they remain in pristine condition.

Books, Instruments and Other Hobby Items

No matter what your hobby is, a storage unit can help you organize your items. Keep in mind that items like books, musical instruments and rare collectable items are susceptible to damage from humidity and temperature changes. A climate-controlled unit is the best way to keep your collection safe.

Business Storage

Business Inventory and Documents

Storage units aren’t just for homeowners. Small business owners with limited storage space can also benefit from renting a unit. It’s an affordable option to keep excess inventory, promotional materials, documents and other business supplies.

Equipment and Vehicles

Keep your extra vehicles and equipment safe and secure at a fenced-in storage area with 24/7 surveillance. This will free up space at your main location while keeping your equipment safe and easily accessible.

Tips for Storing Your Belongings

No matter what you’re storing, store it correctly so it remains in great condition until the next time you need it. Here are some tips to help you while you’re packing your items and putting them in storage.

Pack Properly

Use quality boxes and packing materials to keep everything organized and in good condition. If you’re storing long-term, we recommend sturdy plastic tubs over cardboard boxes. Keep everything organized by placing similar items together within your storage unit.

Label Everything

Save yourself from future frustration by clearly labeling every box you put in storage. Consistent and detailed descriptions will be the most useful to you when you’re trying to find a specific item in a few months.

Consider Climate Control

Texas’s weather can be intense, with extreme heat and humidity in the summer and occasional ice in the winter. Items like antiques, electronics and vinyl are sensitive to changes in temperature and will benefit from being stored in a climate-controlled environment, especially long-term.

Keep Your Unit Accessible

When filling your storage unit, it’s important not to overstuff the space. Leave enough room to walk around so you can maneuver around your unit and easily access all your belongings.

Store With a Secure Facility

Feel confident that your belongings are safe by storing with a quality facility. Before renting a unit, learn more about the facility’s security measures. Ideally, a facility should have 24/7 security cameras and an on-site security guard. It should also be fully fenced-in and gated with coded access.
