There were times before when our front bay area was crowded with tenants parking their bikes. They don’t want to park it outside because they said it will be stolen. Well, now this problem is solved. We recently had a bike rack installed to free up our bay area, while at the same time giving a peace of mind to our tenants who can now park and lock their bikes when they are in our facility.

In this video from Relocation.com, you will learn the proper method of packing your pots and pans for moving. First, you will need to place several sheets of packing material in the bottom of a medium or large sized box. To maximize your packing space, wrap each pot in a sheet of newspaper and then nest several pots together inside of the box. For a closer look at how to properly pack pots and pans for moving, check out this video.

A tenant rented a unit and she realized that she could have saved some money using our truck. We told her “You Can Do it” for Free not for “$19.95” as U-Haul advertises it. Well, we told her she can tell her family and friends about this. But also told her that if she refers her family and friends not only will they get the “Free Truck Move”, but she’ll also receive a referral fee. She was happy to know that we have great customer service and make moving much easier.

Whether you have a convertible that you only drive during the summer months or you will be travelling for a long period of time without your car, sometimes you will need to store your vehicle. Large Self Storage units can easily contain your vehicle, and will provide a secure and clean environment while you are away. Before you place your car in long-term storage, there are several steps you should take to make sure your car will be in great working order when you return. Here are some ways to prepare your vehicle for storage:

Thoroughly Clean
Before you place your car in long-term storage, clean your vehicle from the inside out . Wash and wax the exterior of the car to get the paint spotless and free of debris. Detail the interior, making sure that every surface is clean and in great condition. Cleaning your car before placing it in storage will keep it in good condition for when you return.

Perform Key Maintenance
If your car will be stored for a month or longer, there are several key maintenance procedures that should be attended to. First, have the oil changed. Letting your vehicle sit with used oil can contaminate and damage the engine. Next, top off the gas in your tank so that the tank and seals will not dry out while the car is not being used.

Charge the Battery
As your vehicle sits in storage, the battery will slowly drain its power. Before you place your vehicle in storage, make sure that the battery is fully charged. If possible, have someone start the engine and drive the car every two weeks or so. This will ensure that the car battery still has a charge when you are ready to take the vehicle out of storage.   

At Pouch Self Storage , we have storage units and RV stalls that come in a variety of sizes to accommodate your vehicle for long-term storage. Call us at (888) 258-9626 to learn more about other self-storage services we provide to residents throughout Southern California.

April 28 – Yesterday was a busy Saturday for us here in Anaheim. But then towards the end of the day, everything got so quiet that even the neighborhood kids who normally hang out at the parking lot were nowhere to be found. So one of us went out to see what’s going on. Well, we had two police cars parked right next to our corner parking lot. So not only do we have video surveillance on our property; we have police surveillance in our property.
