Plan your storage space to save time, packing frustration and keep safe.
-
Add Protection
Place soft cloths or cardboard underneath mattresses, couches, boxes and beds to keep them protected. -
Build a foundation
Place large heavy items at the rear of the unit. Then work forwards and upwards with lighter fragile items. -
Room to Breathe
Don’t lean items against the walls. Leave air space around the perimeter to aid ventilation. -
Easy Access
Pack items you want to access in storage into the truck first. That way they’ll be packed into the unit last, near the door. -
Important things
Store important documents and small items like, keys and remote controls, in one box, so they can be easily found. -
Use all the space
Label boxes on all sides for easy locating. You can use the space inside cupboards, fridges, etc.. to store boxes. -
Cover and upend
Protect mattresses and soft furnishings with mattress and lounge covers. Store couches on their end to maximise space. -
Keep mirrors vertical
Wrap with bubble wrap and use mirror boxes. Store upright and secure them between soft items like mattresses. -
Clean and empty white goods
Defrost and clean refrigerator and freezer and store with doors ajar. Make sure all water is drained out of washing machines. -
Stack securely
Check that everything is stacked securely and not too high. Falling items can injure you or be damaged.
