Making the most of your storage unit starts with good preparation and smart organization. Follow these simple tips to keep your belongings protected, accessible, and easy to manage.
Before loading your unit, take a moment to list everything you plan to store. Knowing exactly what you have helps you choose the right unit size and makes it easier to find items later. Cleaning items before storage and grouping similar belongings together will also help you stay organized and maximize your space.
Labeling boxes may seem simple, but it makes a big difference. Clearly marked boxes help you quickly locate items without digging through everything. Labels also allow you to stack boxes strategically based on weight, importance, or how often you’ll need access to them.
Organize your items by weight and frequency of use before placing them in the unit. Heavier items should go on the bottom, while lighter or fragile items should be stacked on top. Keep frequently used belongings toward the front of the unit and create a clear walkway so you can easily reach items stored in the back. Breaking down large furniture before moving it into storage can save space and prevent damage. Store furniture upright along the walls to free up floor space. For mattresses, it’s best to store them flat to help maintain their shape during long-term storage.
