PACKING TIPS

  • Label every box on multiple sides and keep a list of its contents for easy reference.
  • Seal boxes with packing tape before storing to help protect against dust. Use heavy-duty tape on the bottom of boxes to prevent breaking.
  • Pack books flat to protect their spines.
  • Store holiday decorations in their original packaging. Wrap strings of lights around a piece of cardboard for ease of use.
  • Use smaller boxes for heavy items such as books. When packing heavy items in a large box, place them on the bottom and fill most of the box with light items.
  • Never store clothing or cloth materials in sealed plastic bags; this may trap moisture in the bags.

STORAGE TIPS

  • Leave a walkway to the rear of the unit for easy access.
  • Leave air space between the walls and the contents of the storage unit to promote air circulation.
  • Place frequently used goods near the door.
  • Elevate stored goods to protect against moisture. Use pallets, skids or lay plywood sheets on top of 2x4’s.
  • Be sure your refrigerator or freezer is thoroughly dry and stored with its door slightly ajar.
  • To help protect against rust, wipe metal surfaces (such as bicycles and tools) with rag dampened with a few drops of machine oil.
  • Stand mattresses and sofas on end. Place a pallet, corrugated cardboard mat, or plastic sheet on the floor underneath.
  • Disassemble beds and tables and wrap table legs in paper.
  • Store mirrors, windows and screens in an upright position-- do not lay them flat.
  • Consider using shelving to stack items and maximize the vertical space in your unit.
  • Never store flammable liquids or gases in your storage unit, such as paint, chemicals or equipment filled with gasoline (such as lawnmowers).
  • Do not store any food items and ensure appliances are clean before storing to prevent rodents or pests.
  • Protect wood furniture with a wax coat before storage.
