It is recommended that you store your items in a box to avoid needing to label items individually. Contents must not overhang, overweigh, or otherwise interfere with others’ storage.

Labels provide up to six months of protection (as noted on the label), with new labels released every three months.

Do not leave projects in workshop areas, even if they are labelled. Have a back up plan to get your project home if large project storage is full. Unfortunately our space is not suitable for every project. If you need additional storage space [The Northern Group](https://www.northerngroup.co.uk/) and [Pollard Yard](https://www.instagram.com/pollard_yard/) rent storage units upstairs in our building and next door.
