Halloween is approaching...

As September starts to turn into fall, the weather gets cooler, leaves turn gorgeous shades of copper and suddenly, Halloween is upon us. If you’re festive like I am, you love to turn your house into a graveyard with pop up corpses and pumpkins everywhere……for one night. That’s where self storage comes in.

Let’s be honest here, are you really going to keep up your Halloween decorations until Christmas comes knocking on your door? There is a fine line between keeping the spirit of Halloween and refusing to let go of your graveyard front lawn you worked a little too hard on….

Keeping all of your Halloween decorations is great because it saves you money for next year, but where are you going to keep them? Think about it. Your garage is probably filled with folded up BBQ equipment, lawn chairs, Christmas decorations, boxes…etc.

Parents reclaim your space! 18 years and you are finally free! Free at last to convert your son or daughter’s room into your ideal exercise room, a meditation room, or a guest room perhaps? Either way, while your child (ren) will only be packing the necessities for college (clothing), you’re going to be buying most of their stuff to take away to college (including a new bed, desk...etc), which means you’re going to be left with an unoccupied – but filled to the brim –  room with old clothing, an old bed, an old desk, posters of rock gods and rap icons…. What are you going to do with all of this? That’s where self storage comes in! Self storage is always a great way of storing extra items you don’t have space for within your own house.

It’s almost the end of summertime, as we approach August, which leads into the new school year.  No more pool parties, no more family barbeques…which begs the question, what are you going to do with your summer patio furniture and pool supplies?

Self Storage can be extremely useful for storing seasonal items such as summer patio furniture, pool accessories (noodles, toys), summer dishware and even a summer wardrobe!

Wedding season brings up the need for Self Storage units!

It’s summertime in the gorgeous Ojai, California which means wedding season. Wait, what does wedding season and storage units have to do with each other? Well, let’s say these two people getting married own separate homes. They’re trying to find a house together or perhaps build one, but at the same time, still have their own separate homes, which means several items of furniture, electronics..etc. It also means that once you two actually do combine your items, you’ll need to decide on a décor scheme, which can get tricky (I can only refer you to the scene in When Harry Met Sally where the couple is fighting over an ugly wagon wheel coffee table).

Having a self storage unit in the Ojai area would be convenient during the whole process of trying to find a house together or perhaps even finding one temporarily until you find “the one” you want to settle down in. A storage unit would be great for your extra furniture, beds, mattresses, extra electronic, books and anything else that you can’t fit into your temporary housing! It’s also going to be extremely helpful when your wife decides that almost everything you own isn’t suitable for the house as well.

So if you’re in need of a self storage in the 93023 area code, visit us at Ojai Self Storage !

Summer turns into Fall with the help of extra inventory

Summertime is around the corner, but for retail businesses, this means one thing:  Fall Collection. Having worked in retail myself, I can tell you that beyond having seasonal appropriate clothing, clothing stores also get the next season’s collection in early and where do you think they’re going to store that extra inventory?

There comes a point where the back of the clothing store can no longer take all the extra retail in all those boxes and you have to find an alternative. As a retail business, if you transfer your extra inventory to another branch of your business, then your branch is losing money. A better suggestion for housing your extra inventory would be to check out the unit sizes available at "Ojai Self Storage". We have a wide variety of storage units to fit the needs of large and small business.  Our storage facility is conveniently located in Ojai, CA, 93023.

Storage units are convenient for retail business owners with extra inventory. This is because they are rented on a monthly basis, which makes it less costly for business owners who don’t know the amount of time they will need to house this extra inventory. Additionally, storage units come in a wide variety of sizes to suit your needs, so whether you’re housing a few boxes or a whole season’s worth of clothing, you have choices. Furthermore, many self storage units offer climate controlled storage units. Climate control protects against severe temperature changes and fights moisture, which will help to preserve your clothing.

Give those buckling shelves in your stock room a break and check out our storage units today!

Summer plans for your self storage

As we approach summertime, countless 20 something year olds are wondering “what am I going to do with my belongings over the summer?” There is always the option of “Mom and Dad’s Storage Unit” aka the family garage or attic, however, what if you don’t have that choice? What if your mom and dad converted that garage into a new gym (now that you’re not around, they have time to exercise!) and you have no space for all of your acquired belongings? That’s where self storage units come in. Not only are self storage units affordable but they are convenient too. Having a self storage unit would be great to store last year’s text books, seasonal clothing, old trophies and any other items that don’t fit within your dorm. If you can find a self storage facility located close to your college, you can easily go back and forth between your unit and your dorm room, saving you the long trip of driving to mom and dad’s house. Additionally, it’s your storage unit, so you can organize it any way you like and more importantly, mom is not going to come in and “re-arrange some things” so it looks cleaner. Just a tip: if you find yourself on a student budget, you can always rent a storage unit with your friends/dorm-mate and split the costs. If you opt to rent a storage facility, please keep this information in mind: • Storage facilities, especially near large campuses, get booked fast as summer approaches, so make plans to reserve a unit well in advance. • Do not just throw your items inside the storage unit. Properly organize your belongings in labeled boxes so that you have easy accessibility to what you need to find. • Leave room in boxes of clothing for ventilation. Also, do not forget to wash your clothes after recovering them from the storage unit.

Bubble Wrap and Padding: A guide to properly packing your valuables

For me,  the hugest pain of moving is not attaining boxes and packing all of my worldly possessions, but more so packing delicate items, specifically dishware; those china plates are fragile and will break easily. In order to protect your fragile items, I would suggest:

• Individually wrapping each plate like a present with a thick layer of bubble wrap
• Lining your boxes with a towel or a soft material to cushion your items
• If you do not have a soft towel or soft material, try using wads of crumbled newspaper instead
• Always place cups and glasses rim down
• When wrapping glasses, do not only wrap the outside of the glass but the interior as well; you want full protection
• Place dishes on their side and place smaller items inside of larger items for more storage space within your box
• Make sure your box is packed evenly and tightly, i.e. no large unfilled spaces within the box, no loose space for your items to slide everywhere
• Leave an inch or two of space towards the top of the box and then fill in this extra space with more padding (newspaper, foam, bubble wrap, a towel)
• For extra protection, you can also invest in Dish Pack Dividers. Dish Pack Dividers are exactly that, dividers with multiple columns and rows to isolate your dishes to protect them more. However, please wrap your items even if you’re using a Dish Pack Divider. You can find Dish Pack Dividers online or at your local hardware store.

Furthermore, once you do move your boxes of fragile items into storage, make sure to:

• Properly mark your boxes; I suggest using a different colored permanent marker for each type of dishware (red for cups, blue for plates, yellow for bowls)
• Be sure to move boxes you do not need access to, to the back of your unit and place your boxes with fragile items towards the front. If there is not enough space, place the boxes of fragile items on top of other boxes you know you will not need access to anytime soon.

Follow the tips above to successfully store your breakables. Happy wrapping!

Properly Organizing your Storage Unit

Like anything in life, the more prepared you are, the better. Did you know the average individual wastes over 180 hours a year on disorganization? The 180 hours is spent looking for misplaced items. When it comes to storing your items, not only does organization help you better find your items, but it saves you money as well. Here are some tips for neatly organizing your storage unit:

• Labeling - Labeling is very important. There is nothing worse than having to go through a pile of boxes, taking out everything, just to find that one tiny thing you need. Furthermore, if you label your boxes, it takes less time out of your day to find the item.
• Correctly storing your boxes – When it comes to correctly storing your boxes, you should always place larger boxes on the bottom and smaller boxes on top. Make use of your storage space and neatly organize your boxes.
• Prioritize your storage unit – If you know you are not going to need those Christmas decorations for another year, place the box labeled “Christmas Decorations” towards the back or perhaps under all of the other boxes. Place more important necessary items in front or on top of the other boxes, that way you have easier access to them and once again, don’t need to spend countless hours searching through boxes.                           

 Lastly, making sure you choose the right unit size is important. Ojai Self Storage has several options and you can reserve your unit online! Check out our handy storage estimator or use our storage calculator to determine which size best fits your needs!
