Furniture Storage During a Move or Renovation
When moving, dates don’t always align. During a renovation, furniture can get in the way or be exposed to dust and damage.
A Pelican storage unit offers a temporary storage spot for your furniture and moving boxes until your home is ready again. You can choose a storage unit suited to your needs for short- or long-term storage.
5 Tips Before Storing Furniture
- Clean and dry your furniture. Make sure your furniture is clean and completely dry before storing it.
- Disassemble large furniture. Take apart items such as tables, beds, and shelves if possible. This saves space and makes transport easier.
- Keep screws and fittings together. Place small parts in labeled bags so your furniture is easy to reassemble later.
- Protect delicate surfaces and textiles. Use suitable furniture covers and packing materials to keep your furniture clean and in good condition during both transport and storage. Protect wooden, glass, and other delicate surfaces with bubble wrap, for example.
- Plan the placement of your items. Place heavy items securely and leave room to move around. Keep frequently used items easily accessible.
Choose the Right Size Storage Unit
Pelican offers storage units ranging from 0.75 to 50 m² – for individual pieces of furniture, moving boxes, or an entire household’s belongings.
