Storage Hints

n	Rent the space you need and pack the full space.
n	Use a good quality lock on your unit door.
n	Plan your storage space. Place those items that you may need to access often in the front. Allow for walkways.
n	Make up an inventory of your stored items and keep it in a safe place at home or in a safe deposit box.
n	Place your storage items on 2x4 boards or on pallets to guard against dampness. Any concrete floor may become cold and damp. Prepare your space by placing a protective cover on the floor under your goods.
n	Use uniform size boxes for easy stacking. Be sure your boxes are strong enough to hold 25 to 30lbs. It is best not to put too much in each box.
n	Stack lighter boxes on top of heavier boxes. Pictures/mirrors/dishes/glasses should be marked 'fragile'.
n	Larger appliances and furniture with drawers can be utilized as storage places.
n	Use protective covers for furniture and large appliances such as cardboard or blankets.
n	Use empty trash cans as storage for shovels, hoes, rakes and hoses. Stack extra cans inside one another.
n	Tables having removable legs should be 'broken down' to save space.
n	Sofas and Love Seats can be stored on end to save floor space.
n	Avoid placing heavy or sharp objects on top of upholstered furniture.
