Depends on your card board box strength. Not all boxes are created with the same amount of stacking strength per weight. Lots of different storage boxes out they're for sale. My question is do you pack the records on end or flat on their side for long term storage??
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.

@68pete they're on end, of course! The boxes are heavy moving boxes, all new. Regarding mold, the condo was airconditioned and well maintained. And as I mentioned, everything is currently in climate controlled storage. Happy listening! |

They are available all over. No anchoring is necessary. Gravity does a great job.
Here is a reference on Amazon. But worth researching. The doubles are great for stacking high. Use this to search Amazon. Way Basics Vintage Storage Blox Cube Organizer Shelf
