April showers may bring May flowers, but they can also bring a sprinkle of trouble when it comes to moving and storing your belongings. Rainy days might dampen your spirits, but with the right packing and moving supplies and a sunny outlook, you can weather the storm and protect your items. Let’s explore some must-have supplies to help you through moving and storing your valuables during those rainy days.
Protective Covers
To shield your valuables against dust, dirt, and water during transport and storage, consider using protective covers. We offer a selection of covers designed to fit large upholstered chairs, mattresses ranging from twin to king sizes, sofas, and even dust covers for larger areas. Reach out to your nearby SPS location to grab covers tailored just for you.
Packing Supplies
Our locations are packed with a wide selection of supplies to keep your possessions dry and cozy during a move. Whether it’s bubble wrap for fragile items or moving blankets for your furniture, we’ve got you covered. You can even consider using shrink wrap to secure furniture like dresser drawers while moving.
Tape and Rope
Keep those boxes sealed tighter than a rain jacket with our packing tape, available for sale at SPS locations. Choose from multiple tape options, including tape dispensers and tape guns, to suit your preferences. We also offer a selection of nylon, utility, and tie-down ropes, as well as forklift, ratchet, lifting, and utility straps to further secure your belongings during transportation.
Quality Boxes
Our storage locations offer a wide selection of boxes suitable for packing various items, including mirrors, books, dishes, wine, artwork, garments, wardrobes, flat-panel TVs, and computers. These sturdy boxes provide reliable protection, ensuring your treasures remain safe. And if moisture is a concern, think about using plastic totes—they’re great at keeping things dry. Or, try wrapping your boxes in our stretch wrap for extra protection. Just remember to unwrap them as soon as possible to avoid trapping moisture. Visit your nearest SPS facility to explore the range of moving boxes available for sale.

With convenient access to U-Haul truck rentals at many SPS locations, including some offering free move-in trucks, your moving journey is simplified and your possessions are protected from the elements.
