Storage Tips

Protect your storage items from unnecessary damage.
 Save yourself from additional work by following these suggestions.

Mark contents on boxes.  Pack heavier items in the bottom of boxes, heavier boxes at the bottom of storage areas.  Store clothes and lighter items inside appliances and dressers to save space.  Pack books flat in small boxes so they will be easier to lift.  Put items you are likely to need often near the front of storage.  Leave a path to the back of your unit and space around the edges.  Place valuables near the back in unmarked storage boxes.  Drain gasoline from power equipment.  Store mirrors and pictures on their edges and pad them well.  Stand long items such as couches on end to save space.
