STORAGE TIPS

Smart Storage Tips for a Better Experience
At Cheshire Self Storage in Knoxville, TN, we want your storage experience to be simple, safe, and stress-free. Whether you’re renting one of our climate-controlled units or using uncovered parking for your vehicle, the right approach can protect your belongings and save you time.

1. Plan Your Space
Make a list of all the items you’ll be storing. Place larger, heavier items on the bottom and lighter, fragile items on top. Use furniture covers, mattress bags, and sturdy boxes for extra protection.

2. Use Climate Control for Sensitive Items
If you’re storing electronics, antiques, photos, or important documents, choose one of our climate-controlled units to protect them from Tennessee’s heat and humidity.

3. Label and Organize
Clearly label every box and keep frequently used items near the front of your unit. This makes it easy to find what you need without unpacking everything.

4. Maximize Security
Our gated access and 24/7 security cameras help keep your belongings safe, but you can add an extra layer of protection by using a high-quality lock.

5. Ask the Experts
Not sure how to store something? Our friendly, on-site manager is here to help with advice, packing tips, and product recommendations.

By following these tips, you’ll get the most out of your storage unit and ensure your items are safe, secure, and in great condition when you need them. For more information or personalized advice, call us at (865) 583-0300.
