3 Experts Tips on How to Pack Your Storage Unit
Avoid Overpacking Your Storage Unit
While you certainly want to get the most use out of your rental space, you want to leave some extra room for moving items around, organizing, and accessing different corners of your storage unit. Creating an aisle in your storage unit makes for easy navigation through your items to the back of the unit. When setting up the layout of your rental, larger items packed in the back, while more-frequently used items are more-efficiently packed closer to the front. Visit TNC Self Storage today for all the moving and storage supplies you need for an easy packing session!
Learn to Pack Efficiently
As previously mentioned, larger items should be stored toward the back of your unit. If you choose to stack boxes and bins, store heavier boxes at the base of your storage unit, and place smaller and lighter boxes on top. Really pay attention to the weight of your items in comparison to the other items being stored around them. Avoid unnecessary damage by following this rule and making sure not pack your boxes past a manageable weight.
Keep a Running Inventory of All Items Being Stored
Inventory all the items you are placing in storage. We recommend labeling plastic bins and storage boxes with the brief list of their contents and a category or room in the house in which those items belong. Labeling contents with a category also helps you when you are unpacking your storage unit and moving items back home. Some examples of what this might look like include:
“Play Room – Hot Wheels, mat, Legos”
“Kitchen – silverware, coffee mugs, plastic cups”
“China Cabinet – serving trays, dishes, fine glassware”
