Storage Tips

Record details as you pack. Label and number boxes so you can find items later
Store only clean, dry items
Drain liquids from items like washing machine hoses and fuel from lawn mowers
Remove or disconnect batteries
Use extra tape to reinforce boxes
Tape electrical cords to appliances, secure and close doors
Wrap furniture in blankets/plastic
Resist overpacking boxes so they bulge. Even, square boxes are better for stacking
Group & secure together long, loose items like brooms/mops or garden tools
Position heavy items first, spreading weight evenly in container
Reserve light items to place last on top
Tie down moveable items using the steel loops at top & bottom of container
