Storage checklist
Whether you’re moving into a smaller home or clearing out some clutter, storage can seem overwhelming.
These secure storage solution tips will have you packing like a pro and make storage as easy as 1,2,3.
MAKE AN INVENTORY
One of the most important aspects of moving is being organised. Having a list of all your items will make things easier and help to determine the size of your move. List everything that will be stored and highlight items that are fragile as well as any other requirements.
CHOOSE A PROVIDER AND STORAGE TYPE
Research storage companies, get quotes and choose the company best suited to your needs. Decide whether you will be needing a long term storage company or a short term storage company. We recommend our good friends over at Big Box Self Storage.

PACK SMART
Sort and label your boxes strategically. Consider using clear boxes so you can easily see where everything is. Take photographs to keep track of belongings. Place boxes you will need closer to the front for easier access.
MAXIMISE SPACE
Get the most bang for your buck by utilising vertical space, pack boxes strategically and disassemble furniture.
CONFIRM WHAT CAN AND CAN’T BE STORED
Not everything can be put into storage. Check with your storage provider to see what goods can and can’t be stored.
PROTECT YOUR ITEMS
Throw a sheet over your belongings to protect them from leaks, drips and/or falling items. Alternatively you can use protective wrap.
