How to store

  • Packing your items and your unit properly to begin with will save you time and ensure your goods are maintained in the best possible condition. Consider making a list of the items to be stored or take photos for reference purposes.

Plan Your Storage Space

  • Storing your possessions along the outer walls first will be of huge benefit when you find your storage unit filling up - and leave aisles where possible so you’ll be able to access everything.
  • Store items you may need to access more frequently towards the front of your unit.
  • Consider installing free standing metal shelving to help organise your unit and make optimal use of the vertical space.

Maximise Air Flow

  • Consider placing a pallet underneath your belongings and keep some space between your boxes and away from the walls of the unit to allow air to circulate.

Protect

  • Start by covering the floor area with a groundsheet to protect your goods.
  • Properly protect furniture and other items with adequate coverings.
  • Ensure boxed items, especially breakable items, are well packed/protected using packing paper/bubble wrap and strong boxes.
  • Clearly identify fragile goods and ensure the labels can be easily seen to avoid placing heavy items on top.
  • Ensure all white goods are empty, clean and dry before storing. Leave doors slightly ajar to prevent mould build up.
  • When all your items are in, cover with a dust sheet to keep them clean and protected.

Note that the Self-Storage units are not temperature controlled and may not be suitable for all types of goods such as soft furnishings and clothing unless adequately protected.

It is your responsibility to check that the storage unit is suitable for the goods you intend to store.
