TOP TEN SELF STORAGE TIPS
 

Follow the tips below to ensure the safe storage of your possessions whilst at The Storage Depot -

  • Make sure that you use good quality storage boxes, these are available for purchase at The Storage Depot.
  • Fill all boxes completely as half full boxes are prone to collapsing which may damage your possessions.
  • Clearly label all boxes when you pack them, this will help you access your goods while in storage or when moving.
  • Place heavier items, such as books, into smaller boxes.
  • Wrap all fragile items in bubble wrap or protective packaging.
  • Carefully plan the way you pack your items into the storage room to maximise the full capacity of the space.
  • Use sofa and mattress covers or dust sheets to protect your soft furnishings.
  • Always leave the doors of fridges and freezers ajar to prevent the build up of mould.
  • Use wardrobe boxes to store clothing on hangers as this helps them keep their shape whilst in storage.
  • Make sure that you take important documents such as passports with you, or pack them at the front of the storage room should you need to get to them.


Ask any of our staff for information or help with storing your goods.
