Packing & Storage Tips

Do’s:

  • Use pallets, 2 x 4's, plywood, or anything that will keep your items off the floor of the unit. Utilize all the space in your unit. Make a plan as to how you are going to arrange your items. A good plan will save you the time of having to rearrange your unit. Leave an aisle in the center of your unit so that you have a walkway to the back of the unit.
  • Use freestanding shelves to help organize your unit.
  • Label the boxes on all six sides and keep a list for easy reference. This will save you time if you have to look for something in particular. When packing boxes, fill them in without making them too heavy to lift. Always put the heavier boxes on the bottom and the lighter ones on top of the heavier ones. This will prevent boxes from being crushed. Keep the boxes off the floor.
  • Be sure to store frequently used items at the front part of the unit to avoid having to search for them.
  • To protect your items, cover them with moving pads, sheets, or light blankets.
  • Disassemble items such as tables, bed frames, etc. This will save space. Wrap and label all pieces more easily when you have to reassemble them. Put all hardware in bags and mark them accordingly.
  • When you disassemble electronics, such as computers, stereos, or things that have numerous cords, place small colored stickers on each cord and the same colored sticker to where the cord goes. This will save you the hassle of trying to figure out what goes where when the time comes to reassemble your electronics. If possible, use the original boxes to store your electronics and other items.
  • Make sure that all appliances are clean and dry before storing them.
  • If it is possible, store couches on the end. Stack chairs seat to seat. Use the inside of appliances and drawers to store smaller items. When stacking furniture use paper pads in between the items to avoid scratching.
  • Store mattresses and box springs on long edges. Wrap for protection and elevate off the floor. Use two to three 2 x 4's and cut it 1-foot long.
  • Store mirrors and paintings on end, not flat on their backs. Pack books flat to protect their spines.
  • To prevent rusting, rub a small amount of machine oil on metal tools, bicycles, and equipment. Drain and clean all debris from all equipment before you store them. When wrapping collectibles or anything breakable, tape it after you wrap it. This should avoid mistaking them for excess paper to fill the box. Use bubble wrap or unprinted paper to wrap breakables. Group similar items and mark the boxes accordingly.
  • Clothing and draperies should be stored in wardrobe boxes and on hangers to retain their original shapes.
  • Rubbermaid containers are great to store your items. They have tight-fitting lids and stack easily. Keep the more valuable items in the rear of the unit. This will prevent others from seeing them when you are in your unit.
  • Keep out-of-season clothes accessible, you may have your belongings in storage longer than anticipated.
  • Be aware of your surroundings when you are in your unit. If you see a potential problem or anything suspicious, alert the manager.

Don'ts:

  • Do not use plastic to cover your belongings. It retains moisture.
  • Do not store any food items. This will prevent any unwanted guests.
  • Do not pack boxes that are too heavy to carry, such as packing books.
  • Do not share your password, gate code, or any information to anyone who does not have access to your unit.
  • Do not use printed newspaper for wrapping. The ink may smudge and get on your items.
  • Do not forget to clean appliances before you store them.
  • Do not store any toxins or flammables such as paint, oil, or gasoline.
