If you're renting one of our storage units in Flint TX, a little planning on packing day saves you time, space, and headaches later. At Old Jack Storage, a family-owned facility at 17066 FM 2493 in Flint, we help neighbors from Tyler, Bullard, Whitehouse, and the Lake Tyler area store everything from a few boxes to a whole household. Here's how to pack like a pro.
How do I pack a storage unit so I can still reach things?
Leave a walkway down the middle. Put items you'll rarely need against the back wall and things you'll want often near the door. A center aisle means you never have to unload half the unit to find one box.
What's the best way to stack boxes in storage?
Use same-size, sturdy boxes and stack heaviest on the bottom, lightest on top. Fill each box completely so it doesn't crush, and keep stacks below shoulder height so they stay stable.
How should I label boxes for storage?
Label every box on at least two sides with the room and its contents. Keep a simple list or phone photo of what's in the unit and where it sits.
Should I choose climate-controlled storage units in Flint TX?
If you're storing wood furniture, electronics, photos, or important papers, climate controlled storage in Flint TX is worth considering. Old Jack Storage offers both climate-controlled and standard units, plus drive-up units that make loading from a truck or trailer easy.
How do I protect furniture in storage?
Take apart beds and tables when you can, wrap pieces in moving blankets, and stand mattresses and sofas on end only if they're well supported. Put pallets or plastic sheeting under boxes as a little extra protection.
After packing day, enjoy the season. Tyler State Park's fall color usually peaks around November, and it's a short drive from Flint.
