Storage Tips

Preparing For Storage

  • Rent the smallest amount of space you will need and pack the unit full.
  • Start by gathering as many boxes as you think you will need as well as tape, markers, and packing material (e.g., foam shipping noodles, bubble wrap, packing paper or towels).
  • If possible, try to use uniformly sized boxes for easy stacking.
  • Make up an inventory list of your items and keep it in a safe place (at home or in a safe deposit box) away from the unit.
  • List contents of boxes on all four sides; number the boxes and seal with tape.
  • Be sure your boxes are strong enough to hold 25-30 pounds (although we suggest not putting too much in each box).

Protecting Your Items

  • Prepare your space by placing a protective cover on the floor under your goods.
  • If renting a drive-up/exterior unit, place your storage items on 2×4 boards or on pallets to guard against dampness. The concrete floor may become cold and damp.
  • Do not store anything COMBUSTIBLE (e.g., paint thinner, gasoline, solvents, or paint).
  • 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.
  • Avoid placing sharp or heavy objects on top of upholstered furniture.
  • Cover stuffed furniture with covers, blankets, or mover’s wrap to protect against dust.
  • If you stand mattresses on their sides, prop them up so they stand straight. Otherwise, they tend to bend out of shape and become lumpy. And remember to place them in mattress bags.
  • Wipe any items made of metal – bikes, metal tables, tools, etc. – with machine oil to prevent rusting.
