Before Storage
Effective self storage starts with effective planning. It may take time, but time spent at the beginning will save on time later on.
Sort through the items you are planning on putting into storage. Do you actually need every item? While self storage is perfect for items we want but are running out of space for, it shouldn't be used as a place to store unwanted items.
Once you have decluttered, put your items into similar groups. Once boxed, this will help the identification process once the boxes are in storage. Visit our Online Box Shop for all your box and packing material needs.
Don't overload your boxes and make them too heavy. These boxes will be weaker and could easily break during transit or upon arrival at your unit. If you need help with transporting your storage items, contact us about our Collection and Delivery Service.
If storing fabric, ensure the fabric is completely dry to prevent mould. If storing furniture, clean your items with polish/wax to maintain its condition while in storage. Our Climate Controlled Units are ideal for delicate items - just ask a member of our team.
At Your Storage Unit
Before unloading your boxes, think carefully about where you are putting them. Will you need access to some of the boxes? Are some boxes heavier than others? Ensure heavier boxes are at the bottom if stacking boxes within your unit, and for ease of access, store boxes you may need regular access to at the front of your unit.
