Furniture
- Cover all furniture and disassemble, if possible.
- Wrap table legs with packing paper to protect & prevent scratches.
- Blankets or pallets between the furniture and the floor of the storage
unit will ensure added protection.
- Place assembled tables top down on floor with legs pointing towards
the ceiling.
- Stack chairs inverted seat-to-seat with cloth or paper separating
them.
- Avoid stacking or leaning furniture against outside walls.
Metal
- Wipe a few drops of "WD40" or oil on bicycles and tools as a rust
protector.
- Avoid oil staining by storing exposed items in a separate space.
Breakables
- Wrap dishes, plates, saucers, bowls & other breakable items
individually before placing it in a china carton.
- Use a china carton divider kit for increased security (available at
storage facility).
- Fill paper into bottom, top to help empty spaces in the carton.
Book and Valuable Papers
- Use file boxes. They are the best containers for your important
documents.
- Pack books flat and fill any empty space to minimize movement.
- Avoid overfilling. Books are extremely heavy.
- Keep pallets free of moisture by placing plastic sheeting on top of
them.
Large Appliances and Equipment

your valuables so make sure your refrigerator or freezer is clean and dry.
- Maximize your storage space by utilizing valuable storage space inside
appliance's for small items.
