Tips

Tip 1

1. Write down all of the items you wish to store with approximate dimensions. Should you have a house, do not forget to include items in your garage, back yard, basement and shed.

Tip 2

Estimate the number of boxes you will require for items that need packing. Pack heavy items in small boxes and bulky items in larger boxes.

Tip 3

1. Pack boxes carefully and do not overfill. Tape securely and identify each box with either list of items or which room they belong to. Wrap all dishes and glasses with clean print free newsprint. Printed newspaper using ink could stain your belongings. Protect your valuable or fragile items with bubble wrap or foam packaging. Protect mattresses, sofas and chairs from dust with specially designed plastic bags. Put picture frames or mirrors in mirror boxes and always store them on end. All these items are available at Stormaster self-storage.
   
   

Tip 4

1. Keep boxes or items you may need to access on a regular basis in the front of your storage unit.

1. Clean all appliances prior to storing.

1. Do not store hazardous, dangerous and perishable goods in your storage unit.

1. Acquire insurance coverage for your goods. Not all home insurance policies cover goods stored in a self-storage facility. Insurance is available at our rental office
