Storage Tips
- Keep frequently used items at the front of your self storage container, to make it easy to grab them on your next visit.
- Pack your items in boxes and label them, ensuring labels face outward when stacking
- Pack smaller items, like garden tools, inside larger ones, like the empty trash bins, to save space
- Stack boxes, heaviest at the bottom, to the ceiling to make the best use of your storage in the container.
- Place boxes along the walls and keep an inch of space to ensure air circulation.
- Keep a pathway down the centre of your self storage container.
- Store larger items vertically
- Once you’ve finished stacking your items, make a basic drawing that points out locations of different boxes in your self storage unit, such as clothes, tools, equipment, etc
- Keep tools like screwdrivers, a hammer, pliers, and a utility knife in your self storage unit, to use if you need to disassemble furniture to make them smaller for storage.
- Finally, keep a folding step stool to access items stored above-head height
