Start by gathering as many boxes as you think you will need as well as tape, markers, and packing material (e.g., foam shipping noodles, bubble wrap, packing paper or towels).
Furniture with drawers can be utilized as storage places for pictures, knick-knacks, china, silverware, small items, etc. Wrap them in tablecloths, towels, or blankets to prevent breakage.
If possible, try to use uniformly sized boxes for easy stacking.
Pictures and mirrors should be wrapped in cardboard, marked “FRAGILE” and stacked on end.
Make up an inventory list of your items and keep it in a safe place (at home or in a safe deposit box) away from the unit.
Larger appliances make excellent “packaging cases” for blankets, towels, tablecloths and clothes.
Prepare your space by placing a protective cover on the floor under your goods.
Put TVs and other electronics in the rear of your unit.
Place your storage items on 2x4 boards or on pallets to guard against dampness. Any concrete floor may become cold and damp.
Shovels, hoes, rakes, and hoses can be stored together in empty trash cans. Stack extra cans inside each other.
Do not store anything COMBUSTIBLE (e.g., paint thinner, gasoline, solvents, or paint).
Tables that have removable legs should be broken down to save space.
Try to leave an aisle down the center of the storage unit for easier access. Leave a small space between the walls and boxes to allow for air circulation.
Sofas and loveseats can be stored on end to save floor space. Wrap cushions in plastic and place on top of sofas.
Stack heavier boxes on the bottom and lighter boxes on top.
Avoid placing sharp or heavy objects on top of upholstered furniture.
Be sure your boxes are strong enough to hold 25-30 pounds (although we suggest not putting too much in each box).
Cover stuffed furniture with cardboard or blankets to protect against dust.
Don’t just take our word for it, our customer’s experience speaks for itself.
