Self Storage & Moving Tips

Helpful hints to make the packing and storing of your belongings a breeze!

• Use furniture drawers to hold delicate items. Wrap them in bubble wrap or newspaper.
   
• When packing toys or smaller objects, remember to fill boxes completely, stuffing open areas with plain newspaper to prevent collapsing when stacked.
   
• Please do not store anything combustible (such as paint and chemicals) or perishable (such as food that is not permanently sealed). These items cannot be stored on the premisis.
   
• When storing lawn and garden equipment, drain any fluids prior to storage in order to avoid corrosive damage.
   
• Use trash cans to store shovels, hoes and rakes.
   
• Always use high quality locks on your unit. Pondwood Self Storage sells locks on-site; ask the Store Manager for details.
   
• Store furniture carefully on boards or pallets.
   
• Cover mattresses and store them flat on level surfaces.
   
• Store small items like pots and pans in large appliances, such as stoves or refrigerators.
   
• Break down items (such as table legs) and store large furniture (like tabletops and sofas) on end to save space.
   
• Use protective covers and treat wood surfaces before storing.
   
• When storing business files, label all boxes and construct aisles so files are easily seen and accessible.
