| PRACTICAL SELF STORAGE TIPS |
- Make a list of all the packing
accessories needed to store your items. Bubble-pack,
tape, rope, drop cloths, polyurethane sheeting, mattress
and furniture covers, pallets, and cartons are just a
few of the more commonly used packing items.
- Leave a walkway to the rear of the
unit for better accessibility. Disassemble items such as
bed frames to maximize the space in the unit.
- Place frequently used items near the
door or at the front of the unit.
- Fill containers to capacity;
partially full or bulging cartons may collapse or tip
over in the unit.
- Pack heavy items like books or tools
in smaller boxes.
- Fragile items should be cushioned by
packing and placed towards the top of the unit.
- Label your cartons and take home a
list of the labeled cartons for easy reference.
- Line the bottom of your unit with a
plastic drop cloth for added protection.
- Use pallets as a foundation to place
cartons on top of the pallets.
- Mothballs are an added protection
for your belongings.
- Take full advantage of your unit's
space use the full height if possible. Shelving helps
organize your unit.

| Plan Ahead Before You Store |
- Appliances:
Should be thoroughly cleaned and dried. Keep freezer
and refrigerator doors slightly ajar.
- Bikes and
other Metal Items:
To preserve metal, wipe
all metal surfaces with a rag containing a few drops of
machine oil.
- Books and
Documents:
Pack books to protect their
spines. Do not place boxes directly on the floor - use
pallets or skids.
- Dishes and
Glassware:
Cushion carton tops and bottoms
with a layer of paper. Glass items should be
individually wrapped.
- Furniture:
To save space, beds and tables can be
disassembled. Wrap legs for protection. Cover wood and
upholstered pieces.
- Holiday
Decorations:
Reuse the original cartons for
delicate ornaments. Pad with packing paper.
- Lamps:
Wrap lamp bases in padding. Wrap and place shades in
separate cartons.
- Mirrors:
Store on edge, not flat.
- Records and
Record Players:
Records should be stored on
edge to prevent warping. Secure tone arm and turntable
to prevent bouncing.
- Tools:
Long handled tools such as racks, brooms, hoes etc.,
can be tied in bundles.
- Mattresses and
Box Springs:
Store on long edges for firmer
support. Keep elevated from floor and covered for
protection.
