Important Self-Storage Tips:
Packing may not be the most exciting task but it can protect your belongings from being damaged if done in a systematic way and with care. When you start packing make sure to dismantle items like beds, shelves, and cabinets before packing them. By doing this you will have more storage space and your belongings won’t get damaged while moving. And when you are packing easily breakable items, it would be better to pack them separately. And make sure you label each item fragile so that you can handle them with extra care.
Pack With Care
Label The Boxes
To access your items easily, even after weeks, months or years, you should label your boxes before placing them in a storage unit. By labelling the boxes, you will be able to find your items easily without opening your boxes.
Keep Your Boxes Arranged
After hiring the storage unit, it is good practice to keep your boxes ordered systematically. You can arrange the boxes in columns and rows and leave some space to pass through them so that you can reach everywhere without being blocked. Without arranging boxes it can be a very daunting task to search for an item quickly.
Stack When Possible
While arranging the boxes in the storage unit, you can consider stacking techniques. You can keep your heavy items boxes on the bottom and lighter boxes on the top. When you stack your boxes in this way, you’ll be able to find your items easily.
