- Make a list of what you want to store, especially big or odd shaped items. List items that can be taken apart or folded down to make more space. This will be beneficial to getting the right amount of storage materials, padding and boxes.
|
- Label all boxes clearly to help when retrieving goods from your unit and unpacking.
|
- Allow large and heavy items to form the base of the storage room with lighter items at the top.
|
- Use chest of drawers and wardrobes to store boxes and paper work giving you extra room. Position items that you will need frequent access to at the front of the unit.
|
- Make sure that appliances [fridge and freezer] are completely defrosted to prevent water damage or mildew from bulding. Whenever possible, leave the doors open or remove them to allow ventilation. This is another good location to store smaller items or breakables.
|
- Cover furniture with sheets to prevent dust build-up and remember to wrap table and chair legs with padding to avoid scuffing, scratches or damage from moving.
|
- Store heavy things in smaller boxes. It makes for easy lifting. Store dishes and fragile items in stronger cardboard and plastic boxes packing with bubble wrap, tissue paper or recycled padding material.
|
- Clean all garden furniture before storing. Make sure that your lawnmower, motor-cycle or all terrain vehicles are emptied of gasoline or fuel for long term storage. Disconnect batteries.
|
- Purchase a padlock to secure your storage bay. GSS has all types of locks available in the store.
