Storage Tips for Success

Expert Advice for Optimal Storage

To make the most of your storage unit, start by categorizing your items and packing them in uniform boxes. This not only makes stacking easier but also helps in maintaining order. Consider climate-controlled units for sensitive items like electronics and antiques to prevent damage from temperature fluctuations. Regularly visit your unit to reassess and reorganize as needed, ensuring that your storage remains efficient and accessible.

Label everything clearly and keep an inventory list to avoid the hassle of searching for items. Use pallets or shelves to keep boxes off the floor, protecting them from potential water damage. For added convenience, place heavier items at the bottom and lighter ones on top.
