Storage Tips
Make the most of your storage experience at Garland’s Boat and RV Storage in Springville, TN, with these helpful tips designed to protect your belongings, improve organization, and simplify your visit.
1. Choose the Right Unit Size (Up to 80’ Available)
Select a storage space that fits your needs now and in the future. With variable sizes and oversized options up to 80 feet, it’s easier to store everything from household items to large RVs, boats, and vehicles without overcrowding.
2. Prepare Items Before Storing
Clean and dry all belongings before placing them into storage, especially vehicles and boats. This helps prevent mold, rust, and long-term damage while keeping your unit in better condition over time.
3. Use Protective Covers
Cover furniture, equipment, RVs, and boats with breathable materials to protect against dust while allowing airflow. This is especially important for long-term or seasonal storage.
4. Maximize Space with Smart Packing
Stack boxes carefully and place heavier items on the bottom. Disassemble larger furniture when possible to save space and make loading and unloading easier.
5. Label Everything Clearly
Clearly labeled boxes save time and reduce stress when retrieving items later. Group similar items together for easier access.
6. Protect Temperature-Sensitive Items
For items sensitive to heat or cold, consider climate-controlled storage to maintain more stable conditions year-round.
7. Take Advantage of Easy Access Hours
With 24-hour access, you can visit your unit whenever it fits your schedule, perfect for RV trips, seasonal boat use, or business storage needs.
8. Utilize Drive-Up and Easy Access Features
Drive-up access and well-planned parking areas make loading and unloading quick and convenient, especially for larger vehicles and equipment.
9. Secure Your Vehicle or RV Properly
Before storing, ensure all doors, windows, and compartments are locked. Disconnect batteries if storing long-term and check tire pressure for extended stays.
10. Keep an Inventory List
Maintain a simple list of everything stored in your unit. This helps you stay organized and quickly locate items when needed.
