Opinions about boxes:
On yahoo answers, already posted question " How big is the opening on a royal mail post box"
- ' 12" x 3" '
On yahoo answers, already posted question " What household items would you like to put in a storage box?"
- ' Anything seasonal: Christmas decorations, camping gear, equipment for seasonal sports like baseball and water skiing. Probably not the skis but the related equipment. Things that belong to somebody who isn't there but that you don't wat to get rid of. For example you might have things that belonged to a grandparent who died. Or you might have a kid who went away to college and you want to get his stuff out of the way so you can use his room for a guest room, Then it might include clothes, books, electronic equipment, dope, fashion accessories, photographs etc.'
- On yahoo answers, already posted question " How do you make a cardboard box stronger"
- I usually put a cardboard box inside another cardboard box. The trick is that the other box must be slightly larger.
Otherwise, reinforce the joints with tape, especially at the intersect on the bottom fold, where it would need the most strength from the pull of gravity. A few long strips across the bottom across each axis should do.'
- " Layer the card board then attach it all together with ductape then onces it good and thick holds alot of weight"
- " get a sturdier cardboard box. There are plenty of cardboard boxes which are sturdy enough to hold books. If in doubt get a bunch of smaller ones and tape them together for a larger surface. Liquor stores have really sturdy cardboard boxes. You can ask them if you can have some."
- " I think a wooden crate would be better, but if you HAVE to use a cardboard box, then this is what I would suggest. "
