Storage Tips

Suggestions

To ensure that your possesions stay in tip-top condition whilst they are in storage, we recommend that you review the following tips:

• Make a comprehensive list of what you intend to store. This will aid you in deciding your packaging requirements
• Always label and number your boxes clearly
• Allow larger or heavy items at the base with lighter items on top
• Pack your boxes well, filling any voids with filler or bubble wrap to prevent crushing
• Cover all furniture items with dust sheets and wrap vunerable areas to prevent scratching
• Use strong cardboard or plastic boxes for storing smaller items
• Wrap up your fragile items
• Make sure that appliances , such as fridges/freezers are thoroughly defrosted. Leave doors ajar to prevent moulding
• Drain, clean and dry all gardening equipment before storing
• Pack your unit with access in mind

Note that we have a full range of packaging materials available for sale at reception.
