Storage Tips
We have a few important tips to help you plan your storage needs.
- Use the height of the unit...
To maximize the use of space in your unit you must "go up".
Stand mattresses and box springs up in the back of the unit. Put
night tables on top of dressers. Put sofas on top of other sturdy
furniture. Stand sofas on end. Put lighter things on
top.
- Pack heavy boxes full...
Boxes that will be on the bottom should be packed solid to support
the boxes stacked on top. Otherwise they will crush and the
load will shift. Books are a excellent base. Build up
with lighter, less filled boxes.
- Wrap it up...
To help keep cloth bedding or furniture dust free use stretch wrap
or bed sheets.
Mattress bags work well too.
- Protect from dust...
Dust and pollen can get into your unit, particularly the regular
storage units. You can drape a plastic drop cloth over the top of
everything to keep it from getting into exposed fabric, etc.
