How To Self-Store Exeter
Ok so you have decided what your taking and what you’re not. It’s time to make sure everything is packed up correctly and safely.
- Give everything a clean. Ensuring everything is in the best order means it will be that why when you return.
- Avoid wrapping anything in plastic. Yes, the thought you had about plastic keeping water out is correct, but it can also build up moisture inside should there be any temperature fluctuations Stick to breathable material such as papers and cardboards.
- Sturdy boxes are your friend! Make sure you have lots of boxes with enough room to store all your valued possessions.
- When it comes to the delicate parts of furniture, such as handles, legs etc. Pad these areas to ensure they can be safely moved and don’t get damaged.
- Label each box with a list of contents. It may sound like a step to far, but you will know what’s in every box on your return and if anything is missing.
Put larger pieces of furniture and whitegoods to the back of the storage space and line the walls either side if possible with your boxes, this will give you a walk way in on your return and if you’re not retrieving everything it gives you easier access to the items you do want.
