Most of us have more than we think and packing it can take longer than we think too. Using a storage shed can be a good time to clear things up, give away or sell things and to put similar items together.
Our #1 Tip - the most efficient way to pack your shed is to begin like you’re not going to fit it all in.
Our #2 Tip - place large heavy items at the bottom, light items at the top and use the full height.
Label every box clearly and face that label towards the front so that you can see it.
Place items you need more frequently towards the front and you may want to keep an aisle at the centre of your shed for access.
Packing up your things
Pack cartons room by room
Label, label. Label boxes clearly.
Pack the biggest items in cartons first and be sensible about the weight of each box
Consider storing items inside clear container bins instead of cardboard boxes
Keep aside things that you want easy access to
We generally have more than we think, allow plenty of time for packing
Furniture
Protect with sheets or old blankets.
Where practical disassemble furniture e.g. remove legs and tape to underside.
Store upright.
If possible, stack chairs with paper or cloth in between each chair.
Mattresses should be wrapped in plastic. Store mattresses upright to conserve space.
Electrical Equipment
Fragile electrical equipment is best stored in its original packaging or cartons. Use bubble wrap. Pack out any gaps in the cartons and secure any loose, fragile components.
Back up computers before storing.
Batteries – remove batteries to avoid damage from leaking batteries.
Kitchen Appliances and Whitegoods
Ensure that they are thoroughly clean, defrosted and dry before storing.
White-goods are best stored with their doors slightly ajar, with a deodoriser inside.
Washing machines – drain water from hoses and tape them to the back of the machine.
Clothing, Apparel and Soft Furnishings
To keep your clothes dust and wrinkle free, pack and seal in secure cartons or plastic with mothballs. Moving bags are also ideal for storing linens.
You can also use vacuum bags for the most efficient use of space.
Fragile Items, Dishes and Glassware
Put a smile on your face when unpacking if you -
Carefully wrap all fragile items separately in tissue or packing paper and pack in strong cartons.
Place extra packing in the bottom, top, and in between items to ensure that spare space is used up.
Mark each carton as “Fragile” and label the contents.
Ensure that fragile items are not stacked under heavy items.
Mirrors and Paintings
Artwork and mirrors can be wrapped in bubble wrap paper and corrugated cardboard. Use a double thickness of corrugated cardboard for the corners.
Store these items standing on their edge in upright position.
Books and Documents
Sort all books and documents into categories and pack flat - not on their spine - in cartons
Be careful not to over fill the cartons or they will be too heavy to lift and move
Mowers and Machinery - STORE WITH CAUTION
Ensure that engines (e.g. mower, whipper-snipper) are emptied of petrol or other fuel.
Do not store anything combustible (e.g. petrol, paint and paint thinner, or solvents).
Ensure that any gas cylinders are empty.
Do not store perishables (e.g. plants or food that spoils).
Tools
Ideally stored in a rubbish bin, old paint drum or in strong container.
Wipe with a little oil to prevent rust.
