How do I prepare my items for climate-controlled storage?

Follow these tips to prepare your items for climate-controlled storage: 

  • Use appropriate packing materials: Pack your items in sturdy boxes or containers to protect them during storage. Use packing paper for fragile items to prevent breakage during transport.
  • Protect against humidity: Use moisture-absorbing materials like silica gel packets or desiccant bags to prevent moisture buildup inside storage containers. This helps protect items susceptible to damage from humidity.
  • Arrange items strategically: Plan the layout of your storage unit and arrange items strategically to maximize space and accessibility. Place frequently accessed items near the front for easy retrieval.
  • Avoid overpacking: Avoid overpacking boxes to prevent them from becoming too heavy or unstable. Distribute weight evenly throughout the box, and use smaller boxes for heavier items for easier lifting.
  • Wrap furniture and large items: Use moving blankets or furniture covers to protect larger items from dust and scratches. Disassemble furniture when possible to save space and make it easier to transport.
  • Create an inventory: If possible, make a list of the items you're storing with descriptions and photos. This will help you keep track of your belongings and locate specific items when needed.
