Hagermans Corners storage units in the great place of Ontario, Canada have broken items in them.  This is part three of our discussion on how to pack your items you are moving in a correct and safe way.  The things you need are usually sold at the self storage facility themselves, and you need to look at these items and see which ones you need or want to keep your items safe and not broken or damaged by the move.  Last time we said please buy covers for your beds.  In this blog we will talk about how to pack mirrors or anything with expensive glass in them.  Mirrors are very expensive in the United States of America, and we are sure these prices are similar in Canada.  We have seen one hundred dollar mirrors and up easy in our stores here in America.  When you open up that truck door, look in, and see broken glass, you know something broke.  Not a good thing to experience, especially if the glass was heartfelt or expensive.  One of our best tricks to use on big or large mirrors is to take two mattresses and stand them up against the wall in the moving truck and placing the large mirror in between them.  This supplies a great cushion for your large expensive mirrors and you can see how that would be an effective way to pack.  A lot of people will stand up their beds like this to save space and putting glass from tables or mirrors in between the mattresses is a great thing to do.  A lot of places in the self storage industry will sell mirror boxes too.  They are just like the mattress way, as the mirror boxes have two separate cardboard pieces that the bed goes in between.  You than tape the cardboard box pieces to the mirror or to the other side of the box, and you are set.  Either way you do it, mirror boxes or the mattress way, your glass will be much safer.

Hagermans Corners storage units in the great place of Ontario, Canada have broken glass in them.  We used to be managers ourselves, and yours truly has swept up a lot of glass in the day.  Another thing we store and move as families or single folk, is aquariums.  The trick to storing or moving them is stuffing them with blankets and newspaper or anything like that.  Stuff them good too.  Get the towels or blankets inside the fish tanks tight and up against the glass.  This makes them much more shockproof and a lot of people when they are moving do not think of everything.  They might be in a hurry too, but being in a hurry to pack and move, is not a good thing really.  More mistakes happen if you are in a hurry moving.

Hagermans Corners storage units in the great place of Ontario, Canada have seen broken glass in them.  Wrap up glass and cushion them as best you can when you move or store things.  Glass breaks often in moves.  We moved three fish tanks once; we left them on the fish tank stands and stuffed them with towels.  They survived the move and sit in our basement as we speak.
