Packing and storage tips

When you are packing your things in order to put them into storage, there are a few tips that you should follow to make sure that everything goes according to plan.

Blankets or pallets should be made use of in order to keep goods off the floor of the storage facility.

Chairs should be stacked seat to seat, couches should be stacked on end, and blankets, clothes and smaller goods can be stored inside larger items. You should also make sure that you leave a walkway through the middle of your storage facility so that it is easy to gain access to all of your possessions.
