| Moving
and Storage Tips |
- Place those items that you need
to get to often, in the front. If
possible, allow for an internal
walkway inside your locker during
extended storage.
- Make an inventory of your stored
items and keep it in a safe place,
such as at home or at work.
- It is vital that you drain all
remaining gas from lawn mowers,
power tools, etc. Moving and storage
of any combustibles such as solvents,
gas, paints, etc. is STRICTLY
PROHIBITED.
- Use uniform-size boxes for easy
stacking. Stack lighter boxes and
boxes marked "Fragile" on top of
the heavier boxes.
- Stack pictures and mirrors on
end.
- Dismantle tables to save space.
- Store sofas and love seats on
end to save floor space. Place a
protective cover under the sofa
end at the floor. Wrap cushions
in plastic and place on top.
- Cover exposed belongings to protect
against dust.
- Prop mattresses "on end" so they
stand straight, otherwise they may
bend out of shape or become lumpy.
- Keep a small box of tools handy
for dismantling and re-assembly
of furniture.
- Check with your insurance agent
if you have extended coverage for
those items stored away from home.
Jiffy can help you with additional
insurance coverage.
