Wondering how to store a TV? 📺 Follow these steps for safe, efficient storage:

1. Wrap the TV in a moving blanket or foam cover.
2. Place it in the original box or a TV moving box.
3. Fill empty space with soft materials to prevent shifting.
4. Store it upright; never on its side.

These same steps apply to other electronics like speakers, gaming systems, monitors, and more. For long-term storage, a climate-controlled unit helps protect electronics from temperature and humidity damage.

Visit us at Extra Space Storage for all your climate controlled storage needs.

Summer's winding down, which means it's time to think about where your boat's going to spend the off-season. The good news is Extra Space Storage has you covered. 

So how much does boat storage cost? Here's the breakdown:

Cost: Anywhere from $30 to $500+, depending on location, boat size, and storage type

◾ Outdoor storage — the budget-friendly option.
◾Covered storage — shields your boat from sun and the elements.
◾Indoor storage — fully enclosed for maximum protection (you'll pay a bit more, but your boat will thank you)

Two pro tips before you book:
✅ Indoor units should be at least 5 ft longer than your boat, so you've got room to maneuver
✅ If you own a sailboat, pop that mast off before you arrive

Don't wait until the units fill up. Reserve your spot today.
