How often should you go checkout your unit?

Having a storage unit is a great way to have more, affordable storage. Depending on your unit size, you should be able to store just about any item you wish to have in long term storage. You could store clothing, items only used in a particular season, books, belongings that clutter up your home but that you still wish to keep, and so much more! Some items will need to be carefully packaged and placed in your unit to avoid causing any damage. Taking precautions before packing your San Mateo Self Storage unit is the best way to keep all of your items in peak condition.
