STORAGE TIPS
Here
are some helpful suggestions to keep your valuables and keepsakes
stored safely. For more suggestions and storage supplies, please
see the on-site manager and your storage location.
·
Plan your storage space. Place those items that you need to get
to often in the front. Allow for walkways.
· Completely fill each box with your heaviest items on the
bottom and lighter items on top.
· Try to keep your boxes in uniform sizes. They are much
easier to stack that way.
· Drain all gas and oil from engines in lawnmowers, tillers,
etc.
· Label ALL boxes for easy identification.
· Leave a small space between the wall and your storage items
to allow for ventilation.
· Pack your boxes and other items as close together as possible
to avoid moisture accumulating between them.
· Use a HIGH QUALITY lock, preferably a "disc lock",
for your unit. They are much harder to break or cut keeping your
valuables as safe as possible.
· Make up an inventory of your stored items and keep it in
a safe place at home or in a safe deposit box.
· Use uniform size boxes for easy stacking. BE SURE they're
strong enough to hold 25-30 lbs. (It is best not to put too much
in each box.)
· List contents of boxes on all four sides, number the boxes,
seal with masking tape or glued paper tape.
· Stack lighter boxes on top of heavier boxes.
· Dishes and glasses should be wrapped in packing paper and
placed in dish pack boxes. Stack those on top.
· Place your storage items on 2" x 4" boards or
VisiQueen to guard against dampness. Any concrete floor may become
cold and damp.
· CAUTION: It is against the law to store materials that
are HAZARDOUS or COMBUSTIBLE such as gasoline, solvents, paint,
etc. Drain our all remaining gasoline from lawn mowers, power tools,
boats, snowmobiles, etc.
· Pictures and mirrors should be wrapped in mirror crates
marked "FRAGILE" and stacked on end.
· Furniture with drawers can be utilized as storage places
for knickknacks, china, silverware and small items. Wrap in tablecloths,
towels or blankets to prevent breakage. · Larger appliances
make excellent "packing cases" for blankets, towels, tablecloths
and clothes.
· Shovels, hoes, rakes and hoses can be stored together in
empty trash cans. Stack extra cans inside one another.
· Tables with removable legs should be "broken down"
to save space.
· Sofas and loveseats can be stored on end to save floor
space. Always place a protective waterproof cover under the end
on the floor. Cushions should be wrapped in plastic and placed on
top.
· Cover stuffed furniture with dust cover to protect against
dust.
· If you stand mattresses on end, be sure to "prop"
them up to stand straight or they may bend out of shape and become
lumpy.
