Storage TipsWHAT NOT TO STOREAny goods that are illegal, explosive, flammable, corrosive, toxic, environmentally harmful, hazardous, perishable or that are a risk to property.
HELPFUL TIPSInspect your storage unit monthly. Use all the space available, including the height. Disassemble items such as bed frames and tables. Place frequently used items near the front of the space. Fill containers to capacity. Partially full of bulging cartons may tip or collapse. Heavy items such as books or tools should be packed in small boxes. If a carton is too heavy, it will be hard to lift. Fragile items should be cushioned by packing and placed toward the top of the unit. Label cartons and take home the list of the labeled cartons for easy reference when you need to locate your property. While self storage is suitable for nearly everything there are some goods that were never meant for self storage - these include all goods that are HAZARDOUS, DANGEROUS, ILLEGAL, STOLEN, INFLAMMABLE, PERISHABLE, ENVIRONMENTALLY HARMFUL OR EXPLOSIVE GOODS. Please note that this includes all machinery with combustion engines. |
Things to do before storing
|
Do's
Don'ts
|
APPLIANCESFridges, freezers and other white goods should be thoroughly DRY and CLEAN before storing. While in storage the door should be secured slightly ajar. A deodorizer placed inside fridges or freezers is also a good idea to maintain freshness. Don't place items inside fridges or freezers as the shelves and linings can be easily marked and damaged. FURNITUREEmpty the contents of wardrobes, drawers and cupboards to protect the shelving and structure of these items. Clothing and personal goods should be packed in strong secure cartons with some mothballs or similar product to protect and maintain their condition. Where possible remove the legs from items of furniture to avoid damage and save space. Clean food crumbs from lounges to prevent attracting vermin.
|
Planning For StorageAs a general rule place large, heavy items that you can stack upon at the rear of the space. Then work forwards and upwards with lighter, fragile items. Place items you frequently access in front. Depending on the goods you have stored, you may need to allow for walkways. Packing in professional storage cartons will make the storing and unpacking easier and safer, eliminating crushed boxes and damaged goods. Professional packing and storage accessories will provide your goods with the preparation they need for storage and maintain their condition for the term of the storage. |
Frequently Asked QuestionsWHY USE SELF STORAGE?People use self storage for many reasons. For most people self storage is the solution to the problem of not having enough space to keep all the things people need or want to keep. If you are being relocated to another state or country for a year and want to rent out your house unfurnished, self storage is a great solution to the problem of what to do with your furniture in the meantime. If son or daughter moves out but all their accumulated possessions don't necessarily follow them, again self storage comes to your rescue! Increases in the cost of single-family homes and the movement to apartment living has drastically reduced home and office storage space. In addition, the increasing mobility of American society and the rising cost of retail office space has created huge demand from individuals and small businesses for inexpensive and flexibly sized storage space. Self Storage offers a lot of solutions when you are out of space!
WHAT CAN I STORE?If it can be moved, it can usually be stored. Just use good common sense
and remember that our units are not heated or cooled. Furniture, books,
files, some building materials, commercial stock - just about anything
from a few boxes to a full house of furniture. Items, which do not meet
requirements for safety are not, permitted into storage, such as flammables,
hazardous materials etc, and your lease lists these in detail. Check with
managers if you are in doubt about any item.
HOW MUCH SPACE DO I NEED?Because everybody is different we offer a variety of individual space
sizes. The facility manager can generally help you work out the best size
for you. Things to take into consideration are - how accessible do you
want the goods to be? How often will I need to access the space? What
do I want to use the space for? All these issues will affect the amount
of space that is ideal for you. Always discuss your needs with the storage
center manager, as they may be able to suggest ways of utilizing your
space better.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?What you pay for depends on the size of the space you need. We offer
a range of convenient payment methods, including monthly, quarterly, and
annually. We also accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
We will gladly provide an account reminder service - for details ask at
the storage center.
WHAT ABOUT INSURANCE?While your goods are in self storage they are NOT COVERED by the owner
of the center for loss or damage. Fox Self Storage strongly recommends
that ALL customers contact their insurance agent to determine the coverage
needed to protect your belongings.
WHAT IF I HAVE A HOUSEHOLD CONTENTS POLICY OR OTHER INSURANCE COVERAGE?Don't assume ANY EXISTING policy will automatically cover your goods
in self storage, ask the insurance company and find out whether your existing
policy is suitable for covering your goods in self storage.
WILL MY GOODS BE SAFE?Unfortunately there are no guarantees in today's world and incidents
of accidental or deliberate nature are an unfortunate fact of life. Insurance
is strongly recommended. |
Testimonials & SurveysIn late spring or early summer of 1997 I was passing the Fox Storage location and saw Mr. Fox on his tractor (I suspect one of his favorite toys) and stopped to chat with him since I had known him for several years as a result of purchasing automobiles from the Clinton location. While talking I asked him if he would consider the storage of recreational vehicles and he asked if I thought there would be sufficient interest to make it go; I told him that I was sure there would be. I told him that I would like to move my 5th wheel trailer from Clinton highway to his place. He then said that he planned to be open, at that time, from about 7:00am to 7:00pm and when I told him that I might want to leave or return during off hours he said that would not be a problem and gave me a set of keys to the place and for a time I came and went at my convenience even though it was "after hours". I was touched by his trust in me and have been extremely pleased in my dealings with Fox Storage for almost 5 years now. Sincerely, Ralph Waddell
I recently needed temporary storage during my move to a new location.
The management of Fox Storage in Oak Ridge was very cooperative and helpful.
Access was available as advertised and the grounds were always kept neat
and clean. Additionally, I felt that my belongings were safe. I highly Mona Williams, Native Oak Ridger 10/25/01
I am very satisfied with the way Fox Self Storage is managed. I store my RV there and I was one of your original customers (#1007). I feel that my 5th wheel travel trailer receives excellent oversight and has good security there. You are well served by Rita and her family. Allen Mynatt |
