Packing and Moving Tips

Prep Before Packing

Before you start packing, take the time to prepare your items for storage. Fragile belongings, like antiques or electronics, will need extra care and padding to stay safe. Be sure to clean items like tools, appliances, and outdoor equipment before storing them to avoid long-term damage from dirt or moisture. For added protection, consider packing items in air-tight containers to keep out moisture and pests.

General Packing Rule: Heavy on the Bottom, Light on Top

When packing your storage unit, remember to place heavier items on the bottom and lighter ones on top. This will prevent boxes from collapsing under pressure and help keep your items safe and organized.

Maximize Your Storage Space

You’re renting space, so make the most of it! Consider using shelving or stacking boxes strategically to make the best use of vertical space. Organize your unit by grouping similar items, like seasonal clothing or kitchenware, together for easy access later. Always leave space in the center of the unit so you can easily move around and retrieve items as needed.

Vehicle Storage Tips

At Saltwater Storage, we provide outdoor storage for boats, RVs, trailers, and personal vehicles. Before storing your vehicle, be sure to prepare it properly. For long-term storage, we recommend changing the oil, filling the gas tank, and adding a fuel stabilizer to prevent moisture buildup. Thoroughly clean the interior and exterior of the vehicle to avoid damage from dirt or debris over time. Our outdoor lots are rented by size, providing the flexibility to store vehicles of all types.

For those attending Ocean City auto events or Bike Week, we offer convenient short-term storage for trailers, making it easy for you to store your vehicle or trailer when local rental properties do not offer onsite trailer parking.

What You Shouldn’t Store

While our storage units and outdoor lots are perfect for a variety of items, there are a few things that you shouldn’t store. Perishable items like food can attract pests and spoil, so it’s best to keep those at home. Additionally, hazardous materials such as flammable substances or chemicals are prohibited. If you’re unsure about what’s allowed, please contact us for a full list of restricted items.
