Tip #2 – Place a pallet on the floor. Do not lean items against walls. Leaving air space around the unit’s perimeter will aid ventilation. Leave a walkway to the rear of the unit. Use all the space available, including its height. Disassemble items such as bed frames.

Tip #3 – Place frequently used items near the door.

Tip #4 – Fill containers to capacity. Partially full or bulging cartons may tip or collapse. 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 and should be divided between two or more cartons.

Tip #5 – Fragile items should be cushioned by packing and placed toward the top of the unit.

Tip #6 – Label cartons and take home a list of the labeled cartons for easy reference when you need to locate your property.

Tip #7 – Always wise to cover your furniture / open items to avoid dust settling on them.
