Getting ready to move? If you need to put some of your possessions in a secure location because your new place isn’t ready yet, you need a self storage unit from Central Storage. Moving is stressful, but the professionals at Central Storage can help.

Here are some do-it-yourself moving tips from Central Storage so your next move can go smoothly:

• Pack A Light Load: While you prepare for your move think of items you no longer need. It can be sad to say goodbye to old possessions, but  selling the items you don't use regularly can make even easier. To prevent back injury while moving heavy boxes, consider renting a moving cart from Central Storage— your muscles will thank you later.

• Label Your Boxes: No matter how good you think your memory is, you won't be able to remember what's in each box unless you label it. It's a good idea to label your boxes with an overview of its contents and the room you want to put them in. For example: Books and Book Ends/Office. If you know you will have to stack boxes on top of each other, make sure you label the side of your box that will face outward. 

• Use Quality Packing Material: Nothing is worse on moving day than having your containers tear on your way out the door. Make sure you use sturdy boxes and packing tape when you're packing. It also helps if you use the same size boxes and use bubble wrap for fragile objects.
• Secure Your Boxes: It sounds obvious— put heavier boxes at the bottom of your stack and fragile objects at the top or in a separate section. When you load up the truck use rope and straps to tie everything down so nothing shifts during transit. Even if it seems secure, strap it down. Bumps in the road can cause disasters for your glassware, dishes and picture frames. 

Once your items are properly packed and ready to move, bring everything to Central Storage. You can store your possessions at their secure storage facilities while you wait until you have more space.
