Helpful Tips for Storing Your Valuable Goods

• Plan ahead for the supplies you'll need. Paper, bubble wrap, sheets, boxes, etc...
• Fill containers and boxes to the top - boxes which are stacked and aren't full may buckle under the weight of the boxes above damaging your precious memories. The office has boxes with a specially designed steel band for sale (1.2 cu ft).
• Fridges and Freezers should be stored with their doors slightly ajar - and remember, there's lots of valuable packing space in those large appliances.
• Wipe bicycles and other metal items with a rag slightly damp with motor oil to keep them from rusting.
• Store bedding and drapes on hangers - if you can't find hanging boxes, store them loosely folded in drawers or in your stored appliance shelves.
• Label your boxes - unpacking will be much easier if you know where the goods go in your location.

The best way to tell if a unit will work for you is to schedule a viewing.
