Before you store

Make sure your goods are dry and clean before you put them into storage. Drain and wipe down freezers, refrigerators and washing machines.

Pack your property into good quality plastic or cardboard storage boxes

Fill storage boxes to capacity, using soft padding where appropriate. Partially full or bulging boxes may collapse or tip over.

Pack heavier items like files and books in smaller boxes so they aren't too heavy.

Label or number boxes for easy reference and keep an inventory of what you have stored.

Protect fragile items with bubble wrap and avoid putting heavy items on top. 

Use wardrobe boxes to keep clothes in shape.

Remove all perishable and inflammable items like food, aerosols, batteries and oil/petrol

Dismantle furniture where possible and detach legs from tables and beds to save space.

Remember, lift heavy items correctly: bend your knees not your back.

Making the most of your space
 
Plan your storage. Put items you may need at the front.

Remember, you can visit your storage unit as often as you want.

Position boxes and items of similar size together to minimize waste of space.

Leave space for access to the rear of the unit.

Place dust sheets or protective covering over soft furnishings.

Stand mattresses on end and avoid stacking heavy items on soft furnishings.

Stack chairs seat to seat.

Use dust sheets to cover your property and on the floor of the storage unit.

Use furniture covers or dust sheets between surfaces to protect from scratches.

WARNING: Do Not Store Combustibles or Perishables! such as old paint, cleaning fluids, gasoline, etc. Make certain all fuel is drained or burned out of gasoline powered equipment. Throw away anything that could possibly cause fire. Do not store food in open containers or any item which could attract rodents or pests. Why risk your possessions just to keep a few cents' worth of leftovers?
