Containers are practical, but packing matters
Shipping containers are strong and secure, but like any unheated space they can be affected by temperature changes. Packing items properly is important, especially for soft furnishings, documents and anything moisture-sensitive.
Practical steps
- Make sure all items are dry before storing them.
- Avoid placing wet garden tools, damp furniture or soaked boxes into the container.
- Use strong boxes and keep them off the floor where practical.
- Cover furniture with breathable covers or blankets.
- Do not store perishable goods or anything that may leak.
- Consider checking sensitive items from time to time.
Ask if unsure
Some items are better suited to specialist storage. If you are unsure whether a container is right for your goods, call or WhatsApp us before booking.
