Union Self Storage

If you’re only planning to store your items for a short period, and you don’t have anything that could be damaged by heat, cold, or humidity, then a non-climate-controlled unit will probably suit you just fine.

Temperature extremes can be rough on everything from wood and leather to pictures and DVDs. Some items can crack or warp in the heat, while others may yellow. That’s why it’s a good idea to invest in a climate-controlled unit.

When you’re packing books for storage, remember this tip: Books should always be stacked flat rather than packed spine up or down. This prevents damage to the spine and ensures book pages and bindings don’t warp or bend.
