Now that you’ve secured your storage unit, it’s time to get it ready for your belongings. All of your units are steel construction with concrete floors and insulated ceilings. The garage style roll up doors allow easy drive up access to each unit. Here are few tips to get started.
Start with a clean unit: We inspect every unit after a tenant vacates to ensure the unit is clean and well maintained for the next tenant.
Install Shelving: Using mobile shelving units is a great way to add extra space to your storage unit. No permanant shelves are allowed but there are many options for mobile shelving units such as these metal shelves from Target but can also be found in many other homegoods stores. Shelves allow you to stack boxes and items which makes them easier to locate when you need them. You will be able store more items in a smaller space and if you plan to access your unit on a regular basis maybe to retrieve seasonal items, having a walkway through the unit is very helpful.
Boxes: Investing in clear plastic boxes is a great way to organize your unit. You can see through the box to easily identify the contents. Plastic boxes can easily be stacked as they are usually quite sturdy. The plastic is also durable, lasts longer and keeps out dust/pests better than cardboard boxes. Carboard boxes can be handy for many items such as dishes, TV, electronics etc but be sure to use sturdy carboard boxes and tape them closed. Cardboard boxes should not be placed on the floor and be aware of stacking too much ontop of the carboard boxes as they can crumple under heavy weight.
Locks: Using a quality lock is always recommended. We strongly encourage round/disc locks like these which we sell in our office and can place in the unit for you.
Labels: Label your boxes to help you know what is inside the box. Organize shelves or boxes by related content. For example, store all kitchen related boxes together. On the label include what room the contents belong in. This will make unpacking so much easier. As boxes are moved into your new living space the box can be placed in or near the room where the contents of the box belong. You may also want to make a master list of what is inside the unit especially if you have more than one unit. Knowing what items are in which unit will save so much time searching inside the unit.
Maximize your storage unit space with shelving and protect your belongings with sturdy plastic boxes, quality locks and always find what you’re looking for by using labels!

Yes Allied Storage is a family owned and operated business. But it is also a family-built business from the ground up-literally!
We just finished pouring the last concrete slab for the last building to be constructed this summer. It’s been almost 15 years since the first concrete was poured and the first building was constructed by the owner/operator. It’s been a long 5 weeks to prepare the final concrete. This year, the whole family was on site to help with the last 3 concrete slabs.
Pounding stakes is hard work and you’re bound to miss a time or two and hit your hand. The forms are heavy, the weather unpredictable but the coworkers were amazing! Yup, our sons were on site everyday putting in long days with dad and the crew. It took 8 pours, thousands of screws, almost as many hand driven stakes (that by the way are not so easy to pull out of the ground) and immense pride in those young men working with their dad to get this project ready for the next buildings (the last buildings). Mom helped out the past few weeks and even our youngest jumped in to help finish the concrete!
You could say, Allied Storage is family-built, family-owned and family-operated! We’ve personally built the buildings and the business from bare dirt. We can’t be more proud of our boys for all their hard work and being part of this last phase of construction!
Our family is grateful for our tenants and the ability to provide clean and secure storage to the Livingston, MT community.
