🧳 Packing Tips for Breezy Valley Storage
Before storing your belongings, please keep in mind that our facility is not climate-controlled. This means your items will be exposed to Vermont’s seasonal temperature and humidity changes.
🌡️ What Does That Mean for You?
• Temperature swings and moisture can affect your items.
• Plastic totes are highly recommended for storage.
• If totes aren’t available, please avoid placing items directly on the concrete slab, which can sweat and create moisture.
→ Tip: Wood pallets make a great barrier.

💧 Important Reminder About Liquids
Water expands when it freezes—and so do other fluids.
Do not store any items containing liquids (including water, cleaning products, or beverages). These require climate-controlled storage and may rupture or leak in cold weather.

🚗 Vehicle Storage
If you’re storing a car or motorcycle, it’s your responsibility to:
• Ensure the vehicle is leak-free
• Place a barrier (such as a drip mat or cardboard) under any areas that may leak fluids
This helps protect the concrete slab and your deposit.

🐭 Food & Pest Prevention
Do not store any type of food in your unit—this attracts pests and violates our facility rules.
For items like mattresses, couches, clothing, and paper goods:
• Wrap furniture in plastic
• Use totes for clothing and paper
• Keep all items off the slab to prevent moisture damage
Proper packing helps protect your belongings and keeps pests away.

🧊 Why the Slab Matters
Our floors are solid concrete. In winter, they get as cold as the frozen ground.
In spring, when warm, moist air hits the cold slab, condensation forms.
That’s why we recommend:
• Plastic totes whenever possible
• Wood pallets to lift items off the floor
