Preparing For Storage

  • Rent the smallest amount of space you will need & pack the unit full.
  • Gather as many boxes as you think you will need & moving/packing material.
  • If possible, try to use uniformly sized boxes for easy stacking.
  • Make up an inventory list of your items & keep it in a safe place away from the unit.
  • List contents of boxes on all four sides; number the boxes & seal with tape.

Protecting Your Items

  • Prepare your space by placing a protective cover on the floor under your goods.
  • Do not store anything COMBUSTIBLE (e.g., paint thinner, gasoline, solvents, or paint).
  • Dishes & glasses should be wrapped in paper & packed in sturdy boxes.
  • Pictures & mirrors should be wrapped in cardboard, marked “FRAGILE”.
  • Avoid placing sharp or heavy objects on top of upholstered furniture.
  • Cover stuffed furniture with cardboard or blankets to protect against dust.
  • If you stand mattresses on their sides, prop them up so they stand straight.
  • Wipe any items made of metal with machine oil to prevent rusting.
  • Contact your insurance provider to purchase offsite storage coverage.

Packing Your Storage Unit

  • Plan your storage space. Place items that you may need to access often up front.
  • Try to leave an aisle down the center of the storage unit for easier access.
  • Leave a small space between the walls & boxes to allow for air circulation.
  • Stack heavier boxes on the bottom & lighter boxes on top.
  • Put TVs & other electronics in the rear of your unit.
  • Shovels, rakes, & hoses can be stored together in empty trash cans.
  • Tables that have removable legs should be broken down to save space.
  • Sofas & loveseats can be stored on end to save floor space.
  • Wrap cushions in plastic & place on top of sofas.
  • Larger appliances make excellent “packaging cases” for blankets, towels & clothes.
  • 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.
