Self-Storage Tips

- Use good quality storage boxes; we sell cardboard and plastic boxes
- Fill boxes to capacity, partially full or bulging boxes may tip or collapse
- Heavy items should be packed into small boxes so that they are easy to lift
- Label or number boxes for easy reference when you need to locate your goods
- Make up an inventory of your stored items and keep it in a safe place at home
- Protect your fragile goods in bubble wrap
- Dishes and glasses should be wrapped in paper or bubble wrap before storing
- Garden equipment should be cleaned before storing
- Place heavy or bulky items in the unit first to provide a good stacking base
- Plan your storage space- put those items that you need to get to most often near the front, close to the door
- To maximise space stack similar sized boxes together
- Do not place heavy items on sofas or mattresses
- Always place a protective cover over your soft furnishings
- Stack chairs seat to seat with cloth or paper to separate them
- Leave refrigerator or freezer doors open for ventilation
- Pictures and mirrors should be wrapped in mirror boxes, marked fragile and stacked on their end
- Avoid stacking or leaning furniture against outside walls to aid ventilation
- Cover your goods with dustsheets to protect against dust
