Choosing the Right Size Storage Unit
If you are getting ready to rent a storage unit you want to take some time to choose the best size. You don't want to pay for more storage than you need but on the other hand, you want plenty of room to move around in your unit so you can access boxes, furniture or seasonal items when you need them!
Following are some general guidelines that can help you narrow down the possibilities:
5 X 10: This is about the size of a small closet. It will hold about one room of furniture and belongings or a studio apartment.
10 X 10: This unit is the size of a large walk in closet. It will hold about 3 rooms of belongings or a 2 bedroom apartment.
10X20: This is about the size of a garage. It will hold furniture and miscellaneous items from a 4 bedroom house or a full garage worth of items.
Additionally, you can keep these tips in mind when you are narrowing down your unit size:

Additionally, you can keep these tips in mind when you are narrowing down your unit size:
- In units over 10 feet deep, plan to leave a walkway space open down the middle of the unit for accessing items in the rear of the unit.
- Long items such as sofas and mattresses can be stored on end to save space. Most units have plenty of headroom.
- If you are storing a vehicle or boat, don't forget to account for the trailer tongue or hitch length. A 20 foot boat on a trailer won't fit into a 20 foot unit.
- When you visit the facility to look at sizes, be sure to walk all the way inside the unit and look back out toward the door. This gives you a better feel for the actual size of the unit.

Help with Selling Your House
Are you trying to sell your house but the slow market is making it difficult? A storage unit could help!
By moving out some of the extra items that are cluttering up your rooms, you could make your house more appealing to buyers. Leaving furniture in the rooms is often a good strategy but personal items such as family photographs should be removed. In addition, it might be a good idea to pare down the number of toys in the kids room or the amount of craft supplies in the extra bedroom. Lawn and garden equipment could be moved out of the garage to make the place look more appealing. Eliminating extra small kitchen appliances, seasonal dishes and any unused kitchen gadgets can make the kitchen feel clean and roomy.
Place your items in heavey duty boxes or plastic tubs and label them well. Stack them in the unit with labels pointing out and the back of the containers against the storage room walls. This way you can have an aisle down the middle of your boxes and you will easily be able to locate and retrieve items as you need them.
Get the clutter out of the way and let someone fall in love with your house! Call us at Beaver Storage 479-636-9498 or at Beaver Lake Storage 479-253-2020 if you would like to discuss our different unit sizes and what might work best for you!

Commercial Storage
If you own or manage a business, a self storage unit could be invaluable to your operation. Extra inventory can be neatly and conveniently stored off-site so that expensive retail or office space is left clear of clutter. Units at Beaver Storage near Rogers, AR and Beaver Lake Storage near Eureka Springs, AR range from $4.56 - $3.12 per square foot annually. This may be significantly lower than the rent at your business location.
Using less expensive space for inventory storage, means that you can afford to order larger quantities of inventory items and save with quantity price breaks and shipping deals. You can optimize the use of your main business location and easily access the extra inventory as you need it. All of this translates to better sales and lower cost of goods sold! Who wouldn't want that?
Businesses are required to keep receipts and records for 7 years by the IRS. This can amount to boxes and boxes of papers that owners and managers rarely (or never) need access to. Off-site storage in a self-storage unit is a great solution to this space eating problem. The records can be packed away at the end of the year, clearly labeled and stacked in a storage unit at a minimal cost to the business. Old records can be rotated out and destroyed as new years are added. Shelving can be set up in the unit to accomodate the file boxes so that they are easy to get to if a particular reciept or file is needed.
Businesses should consider using off-site storage for a variety of needs: overstocked inventory, office files, promotional items, seasonal items, decorations, uniforms, replacement equipment and extra display racks or shelving pieces. Check out our size options and prices at http://www.beaverstorage.com/ or call 479-636-9498 (Avoca/Rogers) or 479-253-2020 (Eureka Springs) and our managers will help you with all your storage needs!

Winterizing Your Boat or RV
It's getting cold again so it's time to be sure that your boat or RV are winterized and safely parked for the winter. Of course you need to drain all your lines and tanks and fill them with a little of the pink RV anti-freeze. If you are parking your boat or RV at a storage facility you may want to do a little more to make sure that your vehicle stays in top shape through the winter months.
- add some fuel stabilizer to the gas tank.
- be sure your fabric cover is stretched tight across your boat or RV so the wind won't tear it loose and rain or snow can't pool on it.
- Stuff your refrigerator, cooler, live box or other closed compartments with wadded up newspaper. This works great to keep the moisture (and mildew) out of the area.
- Be sure you have a current photo of your boat or RV in case there is any damage or loss that will need to be reported through the course of the winter months.
- If you are parking your RV outdoors or under an awning, close the window shades and put a shade in the front windshield to keep the sun from heating up the interior or fading any of the fabric inside.
- Be sure there is no food or food remnants in your boat or RV that might attract critters. Add some mouse bait to ensure that any rodents who find their way in can do little or no damage.
Beaver Storage near Rogers, AR offers lots of options for parking boats and RVs. We have outside parking, covered parking and inside parking for most boat and motor home sizes. Call 479-636-9498 for availability. Beaver Lake Storage near Eureka Springs, AR offers outside parking and inside spaces for most boat and RVs. You can reach that facility at 479-253-2020.

Boat & RV Storage
Many of you live in neighborhoods that don't allow you to park a boat or camper in the driveway or yard. Some folks just want to get their recreational vehicle out of the rain and sun. There is no doubt that this keeps your rig looking nicer longer.
At Beaver Storage we have 3 options for storing boats, campers and motor homes. The lowest price option is an outdoor parking space. Take advantage of our security gate access and resident manager. For a modest monthly fee, your RV will be secure and out of your way when you aren't using it.
For more protection, we offer awnings in three different sizes. An awning will keep most of the sun and rain off your boat or vehicle. Some of the awnings have protection on the sides as well. An awning will cut down on fading from the sun which over time will ruin exterior finishes and upholstery. Combine this with the convenience and security we offer and your monthly rental rate will be money well spent.
If you want maximum protection for your motor home or boat, we have fully enclosed spaces that will accommodate even the biggest rigs. The door is locked with your own personal lock keeping your RV totally out of the rain, wind and weather. You are the only person with access to the unit.
Storing your camper or motor home was never easier. Call us if you are in the NW Arkansas area and are interested in finding out more about our services and options!

Covered Parking Saves Your Investment
Covered parking is a great option for storing your RV or boat. It costs less per month than an enclosed storage space but offers a great level of protection for your expensive boat, camper or motor home.
We all know what the sun can do to boat upholstery and RV roofs, not to mention the fading that occurs on all exterior surfaces! Covered parking will shield your investment from many of these damaging sun rays. Having your rig under cover also protects it from rain and hail.
Since the roof is the only coverage provided, your boat or RV won't be shielded from all of the elements. Occasionally some rain will blow in or the sun may hit the inside of the parking space at a certain time during the day. Dust is also free to land on your parked vehicle. But your cost savings are significant with this type of storage.
At Beaver Storage in Avoca, our covered parking is a little more than half the cost per square foot of our regular fully enclosed spaces. In addition, the overhead clearance in the covered parking is greater than all but the very largest spaces on the property.
If you are looking for a cost effective way to store your boat or RV, call us at 479-636-9498 and ask about our covered parking spaces!
