Stacking boxes is not a good idea for something so fragile. Here is a reasonable solution from IKEA that will keep your LP’s in pristine condition. Store them in KALLAX and wrap it with polythene plastic cover bag from U-Haul.
LP storage advice please?
I inherited my pop's system and LP collection. It's roughly 2,100 LPs. I say 'roughly' as I did not count them when I packed them up due to time constraints. There are 14 U-Haul boxes that are 26" in length. At roughly 6 LPs per inch that comes to 2,184 LPs, give or take for double albums and a handful of box sets. In case you're curious, it's: 2,184 x 180gr = 393,120gr or 866lbs. About 61.8lbs/box.
My question is, how high do you think I could safely stack the boxes of LPs so as not to damage the contents?
Currently I limited myself to 3 high so the bottom box is supporting ~120lbs. Can I go higher as to reclaim some floorspace in my climate controlled storage unit?
Thanks!
Happy listening.
