• The Lab is not a rental warehouse, so just keep the lab projects that you're actually doing. Take inactive projects elsewhere.

• Members paying a monthly access fee are allowed to store one plastic box at the lab. At the end of the box, the name of the member should be clearly read. The standard box is the SmartStore Classic 15 (picture below) that can be bought from many supermarkets, for example. The name of the owner and contact information to catch the owner (e.g. e-mail or telephone number) must be clearly marked in the box.

• Goods and projects are stored in storage, not in corridors or workspaces! If your project does not fit into storage or has more special storage needs, ask the board for an exemption in advance.

• Items in temporary storage outside the box should be equipped with a name and a Best Before date. The Best Before Day is the day when your project is estimated to be completed and taken away, within one month of accuracy. If an object does not have a name or a Best Before date has passed, it is assumed to be donated “bonkki” and taken away or used by another member. However, use reason with outdated storage, as forgetting is human.

Example of a note: [ Heidi Hakkeri, poistuu 08/2021 ]

• Don't put plastic bags, loose little items, clothes etc. on the shelf. Put the items in a plastic or even cardboard box so that it can be moved easily if necessary. Don't keep anything on the floor that fits on the shelf.

• Materials (e.g. sheets of plywood and wood blocks) are no exception to these. If you do not label them properly, they are freely available to others. If you do not want to remove materials, remove your name from them and take to an appropriate material shelf, this is how free material is clearly identifiable.

• Tampere Hacklab ry is not responsible for damage to stored goods or loss in Hacklab premises.

Members paying a monthly access fee can rent storage space for unfinished projects from the lab for an additional fee (prices 07/2021):

• Roller or pallet seat 20 €/month (in a large storage space)
• Project shelf 10 €/month (Smartstore shelves opposite pole)
• Locking cabinet 10 €/month (located in foyer)
• Workspace 15 €/m2/month (or by separate agreement)

For more information about free storage spaces, please contact info@tampere.hacklab.fi or in the association's Matrix chat channels. Additional space can be activated in Mulysa under Extra Services, and payment must be made using the reference number provided there.

In connection with the rented space you must mark:

• Rentee's name or a known nickname
• actively used email
• end date of rent

The previously available option of paying for storage space using the kitchen payment terminal/drinks box has been discontinued (04/2025).

For longer-term order needs please contact info@tampere.hacklab.fi .

• The renter may be given 1 month to rectify the situation or the opportunity to agree with the board. This month includes the possibility to empty the space of its own items.

• If payments are missing for two months, the space may be cleared after notification and can be rented to the next. Any items left in the space will be disposed of at the rental price, if necessary. A single charge of 100 € is billed for cleaning.

The Lab freely has a number of different materials available to members, such as wood, acrylic, metals, chemicals and screws. “If there is no name in the goods, free game is.” Of course, it should be used in this regard. The questioner doesn't get lost in the road.

If your project is left over useful materials or parts, please leave them to the lab for others.

The corridor shelf between the lounge and electronics workshop contains boxes for storing:

• Tapes
• Bags
• Rubber bands
• Protective gloves
• Cleaning accessories
• Extension cords

Own and paid materials

If there is a name in the material, it is the property of any member. Ask that member if it can be used. If the best-before date has passed or is missing, the material may be used (it is still polite to ask the owner for more valuable materials). Mark your names and best before date in your own materials, or otherwise they will be freely available.

If the material has a price, it is paid. For example, plastic cutting machines cost metals, which are sold by A-Mekanisaatio Oy, which operates in the premises of hacklab, https://www.mekanisaatio.fi/.
