Storage Tips
Helpful Storage & Packing Information in Sebastian, FL
Sometimes moving and storing can be overwhelming, so we've assembled some packing and storing tips we hope you will find helpful:
Packing
- Fill boxes to the top; use paper to fill empty spaces; partially filled boxes may collapse when stacked.
- Do not fill large boxes with heavy items such as books. Keep books and other heavy items in small boxes so they are easy to manage.
- Leave heavy items towards the bottom.
- Wrap fragile items before placing them in boxes.
- Label boxes on top and sides, and remember to mark "Fragile" if applicable.
- Drain fuel from gasoline engines before storing.
- Drain any fluids from lawn and garden equipment before storing.
- Do not store flammable items in your unit.
- Cabinets, drawers, and large appliances, i.e., refrigerator or stove, provide additional space for storing "soft" items such as clothing, blankets, towels, etc.
Storing
- Leave a passageway in your storage unit if you need to access an item immediately.
- Place any items you might need near the front of the unit.
- Take advantage of the height of the storage unit by stacking boxes, but be careful so items do not fall.
- Make a complete list of all the items you decide to store with us and label your boxes. This will make unpacking and locating your items more accessible.
- Use specially constructed boxes for heirlooms.
- Use protective covers on your furniture and mattresses.
- To optimize space, remove table legs if possible. Remember to place bolts, screws, or parts in a plastic bag and tape them to the underside of the tabletop.
- Our staff will be pleased to discuss any questions concerning packing and storing with you.
