Storage Tips

Label boxes, use sturdy containers, pack heavy items below, disassemble furniture, leave an aisle for easy access, and stack self storage units efficiently.

Rent the smallest amount of space you will need and pack the unit full.
Start by gathering as many boxes as you think you will need as well as tape, markers, and packing material (e.g., foam packing peanuts, bubble wrap, packing paper or towels).
If possible, try to use uniformly sized boxes for easy stacking.
Make up an inventory list of your items and keep it in a safe place (at home or in a safe deposit box) away from the unit.
List contents of boxes on all four sides; number the boxes and seal with tape.
Be sure your boxes are strong enough to hold 25-30 pounds (although we suggest not putting too much in each box).

Prepare your space by placing a protective cover on the floor under your goods.
If renting a drive-up/exterior unit, place your storage items on 2×4 boards or on pallets to guard against dampness. The concrete floor may become cold and damp.
Do not store anything COMBUSTIBLE (e.g., paint thinner, gasoline, solvents, or paint).
Dishes and glasses should be wrapped in paper and packed in sturdy boxes. Stack them on top.
Pictures and mirrors should be wrapped in cardboard, marked “FRAGILE” and stacked on end.
Avoid placing sharp or heavy objects on top of upholstered furniture.
Cover stuffed furniture with cardboard or blankets to protect against dust.
If you stand mattresses on their sides, prop them up so they stand straight. Otherwise, they tend to bend out of shape and become lumpy.
Wipe any items made of metal – bikes, metal tables, tools, etc. – with machine oil to prevent rusting.

Plan your storage space. Place items that you may need to access often in the front of the unit.
Try to leave an aisle down the center of the storage unit for easier access. Leave a small space between the walls and boxes to allow for air circulation.
Stack heavier boxes on the bottom and lighter boxes on top.
Put TVs and other electronics in the rear of your unit.
Shovels, hoes, rakes, and hoses can be stored together in empty trash cans. Stack extra cans inside each other.
Tables that have removable legs should be broken down to save space.
Sofas and loveseats can be stored on end to save floor space. Wrap cushions in plastic and place on top of sofas.
Larger appliances make excellent “packaging cases” for blankets, towels, tablecloths and clothes.
Furniture with drawers can be utilized as storage places for pictures, knick-knacks, china, silverware, small items, etc. Wrap them in tablecloths, towels, or blankets to prevent breakage.

We store our company bucket truck in the lot at Canstore. We love how close it is to our home, so when we need to use it to fix street lights in the evening, it's a close drive! We feel like our vehicle is safe and we have no issues coming and going.

Clean, sealed lockers - no rodent infestations like other storage facilities seem plagued with - the sea cans are quite new and water tight. Also the best prices for the size I could find around Vancouver. Really just a great place, glad to have found it!
