Make a plan: Before packing your storage unit, make a plan of what items you will be storing and how you will organize them. This will help you determine what size unit you need and make the packing process more efficient.
Sort and declutter: Sort through your items and get rid of anything that you no longer need or use. This will help you maximize the space in your storage unit.
Use quality packing materials: Use sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, and packing tape to protect your items during storage.
Label your boxes: Label all of your boxes with a detailed list of contents and the room the items are from. This will help you find things quickly and easily when you need to access them.
Use furniture covers: Cover your furniture with furniture covers or old sheets to protect them from dust and scratches.
Disassemble large items: If possible, disassemble large items such as beds and desks to save space.
Utilize vertical space: Use the vertical space in your storage unit by stacking boxes and placing items on shelves or pallets to maximize the space.
Use smaller boxes for heavy items: Pack heavier items in smaller boxes to make them easier to move and to prevent boxes from becoming too heavy to lift.
Keep a pathway: Leave a pathway in the middle of the unit so you can easily access the items you need.
Keep frequently accessed items near the front: Keep items that you think you will need to access frequently near the front of the unit for easy access.
