How To Effectively Organize Your Rented Storage Units

Blog

Whether you want to de-clutter your home or you need to find a place for all of your belongings while you are in transition from one home to the next, you need to make sure that you are organizing the self storage unit in the most effective manner. If you do not do this, you may find that you are not able to store as much in it, that you can hardly ever find what you need, and that some of your things could become broken because of improper stacking and organization.

Work From The Sides Inward

Start by lining the walls of the storage unit with tall and sturdy shelving units. You need to know that most storage unit rental companies will not allow you to secure your shelving units to the wall. Therefore, you have to be extra cautious so you will not have to experience the shelves toppling over on you. To give you the best shot of keeping these shelves upright, you will want to place the heaviest objects on the bottom shelves. Once you have filled all of the shelves, you will want to place all of your larger furniture and appliances against all of those shelves. This is not only going to give you the most amount of room to work with, but also the added weight from the furniture and appliances can help keep the shelves pushed securely against the walls. 

Use Spaces Not Normally Used For Storage

Depending on just what it is that you are storing in your rented storage unit, you might have a lot of hidden spaces that you will be able to make use of. For examples, a great place to store some of your smaller, more fragile items, would be inside of dressers, chests, refrigerators, ovens, microwaves, empty tool boxes, and anything else you can find like that. For an added amount of protection, you will want to make sure that you are wrapping your most fragile items in bubble wrap. This way, even if the item that they are stored in gets bumped around, the smaller fragile items will be well protected.

Just make sure that you are only making use of rented storage units from companies that you can trust. This way, you know that you are keeping your items at a facility that takes pride in their business, which means that your stuff should be better protected.
