5x5 Storage Units

This was our first experience with a storage facility. It was a great first experience. Our goal was 6 months and we were able to achieve our goal of clearing the unit out in that time. The facility was always clean and Jim was always helpful whenever I had a question. Lee up the good work.

I called several storage companies to gather information about their availability and services. By far Jim was the most diligent and professional. His follow up was excellent and he went out of his way to provide great service. I would highly recommend you deal with Jim at Safeguard for your storage needs.

We had a very pleasant experience signing up for a unit today. Jim was thorough in showing us around, explaining all the ins and outs and really took the time to make sure all our questions were answered. Genuinely good guy. The facility is clean, well kept, quiet and secure. I feel good about my decision. Thanks Jim!

Kevin was amazing!!! We went in looking to cancel because the price was so high (due to a change from the company - $60 increase) and he was able to put us in a perfect unit, and at a perfect price. He walked us to each unit and let us know that our home items would fit in the new unit. Individuals like Kevin are who make tenants stay at storage units. Thank you, Kevin!!

Benefits of a 5x5 Storage Unit

A 5x5 storage unit offers several benefits, especially when you need a small and affordable space for your items. Here are some of the top advantages of choosing this unit size:

  • Affordable storage: The 5x5 unit is one of the most budget-friendly options available, perfect for those looking to store a smaller amount of items without paying for extra space.

How to Pack and Organize a 5x5 Storage Unit

When it comes to a 5x5 storage unit, maximizing the available space is key. Here are some tips on how to pack and organize your items effectively:

  • Use sturdy boxes: Place smaller items into boxes to keep them organized and stackable. This helps you use the vertical space in the unit.
  • Label your boxes: Be sure to label each box with the contents so you can quickly find items when you need them.
  • Disassemble furniture: If you're storing furniture like a small table or chairs, consider disassembling them to save space.
  • Use soft items for padding: You can use blankets or clothing to protect fragile items while taking up minimal space.
