Storage Tips
- Make a list of the items you will be storing. This will help to determine the storage space you will require.
- Store the most used items at the front of the unit where you can get to them easily.
- Plan and envision the arrangement of items within the storage unit before you start moving in the units. Leave a center isle for easy access.
- Never store hazardous material such as industrial chemicals, explosives, flammable liquids and fuels in the storage unit.
- Do not store food or any other perishable items that may attract pests.
- Keeping your items off the floor using pallets, plywood, corrugated cardboard mats will improve ventilations.
- Make shelving to help organize your space.
Label boxes on all sides and keep a list of contents in each of them.
- Fill all boxes completely to avoid tipping or crushing when stacked. The heaviest box should go at the bottom.
- Dismantle tables, beds, cabinets and other heavy pieces. Wrap and label appropriately to re-assemble easily.
- Take apart lawn mowers and snow blowers, and make sure that all the fuel is completely drained out.
- Mirrors, records and other flat items should be stored standing at the end.
