Packing & Storage Tips

Storage tips, designed to help when moving into your storage space.

We know when you’re packing boxes to store away your personal possessions it can sometimes be a stressful time – moving house or Interstate. Take some time to list the things you’ll need handy and the services you need to cancel. Our tips are just a simple guideline and aimed to give you some inspiration for your move:

    • Start with objects you know you definitely will not need.
    • Place large, solid items into your storage space first. Stack small items, especially boxes, on top of large items.
    • Stand long items on their side if possible. Remember it’s a Big Box so try to use the height of the unit.
    • Use the space inside your wardrobe to stack boxes and bags.
    • Use one side wall of the space to stack boxes only as high as possible.
    • Leave the door to your fridge open.
  • Leave items that you want to access at the front of the space.
  • Use mothballs, to protect blankets, clothing and linen.
  • Do not store perishables or flammable items.
  • If you do store lawn mowers or motorbikes please ensure that you empty the petrol.
  • Cover all furniture with dust sheets. For details of protective coverings and other packaging materials please click here
