Storage Tips
-
Plan your storage
space. Place those items that you may need to access often in the front.
Allow
for walkways.
-
Make up an inventory of
your stored items and keep in in a safe place at home or in a safe deposit box.
-
Place your storage items
on 2 x 4 boards or on pallets to guard against dampness.
Any concrete floor may
become cold and damp.
-
CAUTION: Do not store anything
combustible (i.e. paint thinner, gasoline, solvents, paint, etc...).
-
Use uniform size boxes
for easy stacking. Be sure your boxes are strong enough to hold 24-30 lbs.
It is best not to put too much in each box.
-
List contents of boxes on
top of heavier boxes.
-
Dishes and glasses should
be wrapped in paper and packed in sturdy boxes. Stack them on top.
-
Pictures and mirrors
should be wrapped in cardboard, marked "FRAGILE" and stacked on end.
-
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.
-
Larger appliances make
excellent "packing cases" for blankets, towels, tablecloths, and clothes. -
Shovels, hoes, rakes, and
hoses can be stored together in empty trash cans. -
Tables having removable
legs should be "broken down" to save space. -
Sofas and love seats can
be stored on end to save floor space. Always place a protective cover under the item
on the concrete. Cushions should be wrapped in plastic and placed on top. -
Cover
upholstered furniture
with cardboard or blankets to protect against dust. -
To save
space, stand mattresses
on their side and prop them against the wall. Avoid allowing them
to bend out of shape. -
Rent the smallest amount
of space you need and pack the space full. -
Prepare your space by
placing a protective cover on the floor under your goods. -
Do not place heavy or
sharp objects on top of upholstered furniture. -
Use only
a high quality disc lock on your door. -
Keep
assigned gate code confidential.
