Other Hints

• Packing in professional storage cartons will make storing and unpacking easier and safer, saving you time and worry. Professional packing and storage accessories will help maintain the condition of goods for the term of their storage. These packing supplies can be purchased from Eagle Eye Self Storage Tamworth.
• Use uniform sizes of boxes to make best use of the total storage space.
• Ensure that boxes are clearly marked with the contents of each box and their destination. Take home a list of the labelled cartons for easy reference when you need to locate your goods.
• Fill cartons and boxes to capacity. Pack out cartons with paper or linen. Partially full or bulging cartons may tip or collapse.
• Be careful that the weight is appropriate to the box and pack no more than 20kgs in a single box.
• Heavy items such as books or tools should be packed in small boxes. If a carton is too heavy, it will be hard to lift.
• Lift boxes using your legs and not your back to prevent injury.
• Do not stack boxes more than shoulder high to avoid injury when moving boxes.
• Place large, heavy items that you can stack upon at the rear of your storage unit, then work forwards and upwards with lighter and fragile items.
• Place those items that you may need to access often, in the front of your storage unit. Depending on the goods you have stored, you may need to allow for walk ways.
• Do not store wet items as they can cause water damage, mould and mildew.
• Use a good quality lock on your locker door. Cheap locks may rust.
• It is recommended you insure your goods whilst in storage. Speak with the staff at Eagle Eye Self Storage Tamworth, they can assist you with immediate insurance cover.
