We are here today to talk about how to organize your storage unit for when you plan on visiting your storage unit frequently. If you are reading this, then it means you access your storage unit frequently and want help to getting it organized for those visits. Our storage facilities know the right storage unit size to fit your storage needs and our managers can help make your storage experience go smoothly. Here are some tips to making your storage unit more organized for your frequent visits.
- Picking the right boxes or totes – We recommend picking one box or tote size for your items, you may think that you need all different sizes and fill them up. The problem with this is that the boxes or totes can become too heavy for you to move around in your storage unit.
- Frequency of use – Before you starting packing your items, you will need to think about how often you plan on accessing certain items in your storage unit. That way, while you are packing, you can carefully store items with easy access. Think of those items that you likely won’t need as often like; seasonal clothing, vacation supplies, holiday items, tools or hobby supplies, and documents.
- Labeling – Labeling your boxes or totes will help you save time looking through them later in your storage unit. Once you have packed all your boxes or totes, assign numbers to each and label it with the contents inside.
- Create a master list – Since you numbered the boxes or totes and labeled it with the contents inside each, we recommend putting all the information you collected onto a master list. This is the key to find something specific in your storage unit.
