Storage Boxes - Boxing Tips

• Always use good quality storage boxes
• Fill stoage boxes to capacity so they don't collapse and stack similar sized boxes together to maximize your space
• Use smaller boxes (you can get them from us - packaging suppliers) for your heavy goods – this makes boxes easier to lift
• Make a list of contents on each box
• Write a complete list of your stored items
• Cover fragile items and table legs in bubble wrap
• Clean garden equipment before storing it
• Plan your storage and packaging space – put heavy items in first to form a solid base and pack those items that you'll need to access most often close to the door
• Do not place heavy items on top of sofas or mattresses
• Cover soft furnishings
• Stack chairs seat to seat and place paper or cloth between each one
• Leave refrigerator and freezer doors open
• Avoid stacking or leaning furniture against outside walls as this hampers ventilation
• Cover all items with dust sheets or drop cloths
