With people storing more and more things, storage facilities are popping up everywhere to accommodate the additional storage requirements that people need.

Most people put things in storage because they don’t have room for them at home but still want to keep them as they use them at certain times of the year, such as golf clubs or their speedboat. Some people store valuable collections like wines, books or records.

If you have items in storage or are about to put items in storage, you have determined that they are of value to you and that you wish to keep them, so it makes sense to keep an inventory of what you have in the storage facility.

Prior to placing your items in self-storage, ensure that they are photographed and loaded onto the secure My Photo Inventory site so that if you ever need something and can’t remember where it is, simply log on, do a search and it will tell you. This way you don’t drive down to the storage facility, look through everything and not find what you were looking for and think you have lost it, only because it is stored in a box in your attic which you will find in 3 years!
