Packing a Storage Unit
Start with a simple plan and a few tips from us:
- Label your boxes and keep an inventory of what’s in your storage unit.
- Seal all your boxes with tape.
- Turn box labels to face the aisle of the storage unit.
- Maximize the storage unit space.
- Place the heavier, sturdier items at the bottom and stack the rest on top.
- Be sure to thoroughly pack your storage boxes by filling gaps to help keep the boxes stable.
- Leave an aisle inside your storage unit.
- Make sure you have a way to access your belongings at the rear of your storage unit space.
- Think of ways to conserve space, like taking the legs off tables before putting them in the storage unit.
- Place dust covers on your mattresses and furniture to keep them clean in your storage unit.
- Tip your mattress on its end.
- Place small items and cloth items inside empty drawers.
