Our tips make moving into storage easier
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
- Check the storage space sizes of units available – see our visual estimator here Storage Space Sizes
