Hurricanes can be devastating, but with proper preparation, you can protect your belongings from damage. Follow these essential storage tips to ensure your items stay safe during hurricane season.

Choosing the Right Storage Unit

Select a heavy-duty concrete storage unit for maximum protection against strong winds and debris. Lighthouse Self Storage offers various unit sizes, from small 5×5 spaces to large 10×30 units, to accommodate all your storage needs.

Strategically Organizing Your Storage

Place valuable and irreplaceable items on top of less important belongings to minimize the risk of damage. Elevate all items off the floor using pallet boards and tarps to protect against potential flooding and moisture.

Storing Hazardous and Outdoor Items

Store items that could become dangerous projectiles during a storm, such as patio furniture and outdoor decorations, in a storage unit. This not only protects your home but also prevents these items from being damaged.

Protecting Vehicles and Equipment

To keep your vehicles, bikes, boats, and RVs safe during a hurricane, store them in a secure storage unit. This precaution can save you from costly repairs and potential losses.

Keep your belongings secure during storm season.
