• Create an inventory of your items and keep it in a safe place at home or in a safe deposit box.
• DO NOT STORE ANYTHING COMBUSTIBLE (i.e., Paint thinner, gasoline, solvents, paint, etc.)
• Try to leave an aisle down the center of the storage unit for easier access. Leave a small space between the walls and boxes to allow for air circulation.

• Be sure your boxes are strong enough to hold 25-30 pounds each.
• List contents of boxes on all four sides; number the boxes and seal with tape.
• Dishes and glasses should be wrapped in paper and packed in sturdy boxes. Stack them on top.
• Pictures and mirrors should be wrapped in cardboard and marked “FRAGILE” and stacked on end.
• Furniture with drawers can be utilized as storage places for pictures, knick-knacks, china, silverware, small items, etc. Wrap them in tablecloths, towels or blankets to prevent breakage.
• Larger appliances make excellent “packaging cases” for blankets, towels, tablecloths and clothes.

• Shovels, hoes, rakes and hoses can be stored together in empty trash cans. Stack extra cans inside each other
• Tables that have removable legs should be broken down to save space.

• Cover stuffed furniture with cardboard or blankets to protect against dust.
• If you stand mattresses on their side, prop them up so they stand straight to avoid them bending out of shape.
