Self Storage SuppliesEach of our five locations has a full selection of supplies, including: boxes, bubble wrap, tape, and more. Please contact the Resident Manager at your location to purchase yours. HELPFUL STORAGE TIPSInspect your storage space. The space should be clean with a door in good working order. Determine the packing accessories you need: paper, bubble-pack, tape, polyurethane sheeting, mattress and furniture covers, pallets, skids, file boxes and storage cartons. Fill containers to capacity; partially full or bulging cartons may tip or collapse. Heavy items like books or tools should be packed in small boxes so they are easy to lift. Protect your fragile goods with packing (i.e. bubble-pack, or other), and place them near the top of your storage space. Label boxes. Take home a list of the labeled boxes for easy reference when you need to locate your goods. Pack the storage space carefully. Leave air space around the perimeter to aid ventilation. Place a pallet on concrete floors (if your storage space does not have pallets, ask your resident manager) and do not lean items against walls. Leave a walkway to the rear of your space for easy access. Use all the space available, including the height. Place frequently used goods near the door. Electrical EquipmentAll equipment should be thoroughly cleaned and dry before it is stored. Any equipment with sealing doors, such as refrigerators, should be stored with the door slighltly ajar. Metal Equipment, Tools, and other metal itemsAll equipment needs to be clean. To retard rust, wipe all metal surfaces with a rag containing a few drops of machine oil. Files, Records and Other DocumentsPack books flat to protect their spines. Do not place boxes directly on concrete floors, but use pallets or skids to prevent moisture absorption. Use packing to fill out empty pockets in the boxes. Do not pack fragile items in the same box with books and do not overload. Fabric ItemsAll items need to be clean and free from anything that may attract pests. Self Storage Supplies and Fragile ItemsPlace a layer of packing inside the bottom and at the top of boxes containing fragile items. All items should be individually wrapped placing the most fragile near the top of the cartons. Again, fill all pockets with packing. When stacking boxes that contain fragile items, place these on top of those containing heavy items. Label all boxes containing delicate items 'FRAGILE'. Office FurniturePlace a pallet, corrugated cardboard mat, or plastic sheet on the floor and stand sofas on end. Disassemble furniture and wrap table legs in paper. If furniture, such as a table, will not disassemble, place paddingon the floor and place the table on its top with legs pointing up. Most lightweight chairs can be stacked 'seat to seat' or placed upside down on other furniture. Keep upholstery off the floor. Finally, place a light dust conver over your furniture. |
