Storage for the duration of the move

Service

Have you bought a new apartment or found a more convenient option for rent? In the capital, people change their place of residence quite often, and Self Storage service of SpaceHub helps to stay mobile, quickly solving all the issues related to the storage of things when you move. After all, it’s not easy to deal with official documents and all the work stuff, and the day of departure rarely coincides with the day of arrival. This time you can stay in a hotel or with friends, and send furniture and any other items to the warehouse for temporary storage of things while you move. This way you’ll be sure that you won’t cramp your friends too much, and their cat won’t scratch your favorite ottoman.

Storage for the duration of the move

How to prepare items

Regardless of the term, temporary storage of things when moving will require good organization. For example, it is worth signing all boxes and packages. Thanks to this, when arranging your new home, you will be able to start with exactly those items, which must be removed from the warehouse first.

  • Clothes.Casual clothes can be folded into cardboard boxes and then stacked on top of one another. If you have designer items in your closet, it’s worth hanging them on hangers and packing them in slipcovers. Fortunately, the height of our warehouses for storage of things during the move allows this.

  • Furniture. Storing furniture when moving is much easier and more profitable if it is disassembled beforehand. In this form, the bed, table or closet will take up several times less space. All screws, hinges,

handles and other fittings should be packed in a dense plastic bag and taped to the appropriate piece of furniture. This way you won’t have to look for or buy new parts when the furniture is past its shelf life and moved in.

  • Interior items. No matter how long you plan to store interior items in a storage unit,

all frames, vases, and other fragile items should be packed in air bubble wrap. Then things can be put in boxes, this way storing things when moving will be more organized and transparent.

  • Children’s things. Fluffy toys can be folded into bags and hung from the ceiling of the box - this is the best use of space. Drawings stack well in folders with a binder, and plastic, metal and plastic toys fit into boxes that can then be stacked on top of one another.

Still not sure what unit size you need?

Small units are the best option to store valuables you might want to keep from theft or water damage when you are in vacation or business trip, or personal belongings you don’t need at the moment.

Usually they store:

  • ‐ tires
  • ‐ sport equipment
  • ‐ home appliances
  • ‐ baby stuff
  • ‐ household items
  • ‐ cottage equipment

Medium size units are the best for storage of personal belongings and furniture during a move or renovation. Such unit size is also good for storing equipment and goods of a small company.

Usually they store:

  • ‐ dismantled furniture
  • ‐ internet shop goods
  • ‐ exhibition props
  • ‐ archives and card catalogs
  • ‐ household items
  • ‐ office equipment

If you have to use a truck or lorry for delivering all your stuff – then you better start looking for L-sized units. These units are the perfect choice for an e-shop warehouse.

Usually they store:

  • ‐ big company archives
  • ‐ bulky equipment
  • ‐ office furniture and appliances
  • ‐ 100+ pcs of medium-sized goods
