Tips for packing and storing:

Identify items that will be packed  in boxes and prioritize the boxes you will want to access on a frequent basis.  Packing those boxes in the unit for easy access.  You should also stack the boxes by weight, heavier boxes on the bottom.  Boxes and containers should be of uniform size and  label them.  Be sure to note on your list how these boxes will be packed and organized.

When packing smaller items remember to fill boxes completely, stuffing any open spaces with paper to prevent collapsing when stacked.

Do not store anything combustible or perishable.

When storing lawn equipment drain any fluids prior to storage.

Cover mattresses and place on flat level surface.

Use protective covers on delicate heirlooms and furniture.
