Self Storage In Fort Collins Lets You Use Your Garage

Your garage is possibly overcrowded and you’re walking in and out of the house in self-made tunnels. Then it may be time to consider self storage in Fort Collins so you can get your space back.

Here are some items you should consider moving into storage.

  1. Toys - ATV’s, four-wheelers, dirt bikes, jet-ski’s, and/or any powersport should be stored safely when it is not in season. A storage unit is great for clearing up that space.

  2. Books - If these are not stored in a climate controlled environment, they’ll rot or get eaten by insects. If you have valuable books, they should be moved to storage.

  3. Power Tools - Seasonal power tools can sit around and collect dust when they aren’t stored properly. If your power tool is out of season, consider moving it into storage.

We hope this list helps and we look forward to having you reach out for your self storage in Fort Collins needs!

Store Your Valuables In Self Storage Fort Collins

Storing valuable items can be the best way to ensure that those items last and are secure. Our Self Storage In Fort Collins are perfect for this type of storage. Here are a few tips to help you store your valuables so they are just as you left them when you return!

  1. Secure Boxes - Make sure that you have a secure box when storing jewelry. It should have a lock, be sealed tight, and depending on the type of valuable, maybe even air tight. But secure boxes ensure that no mold, condensation or dust get into your jewelry.

  2. Get Insurance - Our site is gated and we have staff on-site 24/7, but you should always get insurance. Having insurance on that valuable item doesn’t replace the item for you and that can hurt if it ever gets lost, but at least you’ll be able to get the value of your item back, should anything unfortunate happen.

Our site is safe and secure but we want you to feel even better. So if you are storing valuables, be sure to take these steps to ensure you have peace of mind with your self storage in Fort Collins at Manhattan Storage!

How To Organize Self Storage In Fort Collins Units

Here are some simple times for your self storage in Fort Collins unit here at Manhattan Self Storage.

  1. Don’t use a bunch of different sized boxes.

    1. This is a mistake that makes it hard when you’re trying to store items. If your storage unit is like a game of Tetris, it is easy for items to fall and break when you’re taking them out. It is also hard to stack them all when you are trying to get them in. Make sure, if you can, to try to have boxes that are all the same size. It might be a little frustrating to have to use an extra box or two, but it makes it worth it when you’re getting in and out of your unit.

  2. Put the stuff you need access to, up front.

    1. Simple and yet some people forget it. If you have items you use on a weekly or monthly basis, store them at the front of the unit. Nothing is more frustrating than having to unload your entire unit each time you need to go to the back and grab a piece of equipment. Organize your unit so that the unused items are in the back and the stuff you need access to is up front.

  3. Mark your boxes.

    1. Labeling is so important. Take 10 seconds to use the sharpie in your pocket. While it may be frustrating to have to label everything when you just want the day to be over. You’ll be thankful the next time you show up and you know what is in each box without having to open it.


We hope these self storage in Fort Collins organizational tips have helped you and we hope you choose Manhattan Storage for your storage needs!
