Take Inventory of Everything You Own Before Storing
This will help you determine what type and size of storage unit you need, which helps save money. It will also help determine how to best organize your items. It’s also helpful to make a list of what you’re storing. It can help you to locate items easily when you need to find something in your unit.
Use Durable, Reliable Shelving and Containers
One of the best ways to keep your storage unit organized is to use shelving and containers. Shelving can help you maximize your space by allowing you to stack items vertically. Containers, meanwhile, help protect your items and keep them organized. When choosing containers, opt for clear ones so that you can easily see what’s inside. Label each container with its contents, and stack them neatly on your shelves.
Create Designated Spaces or Zones for Storing Items
Creating designated spaces in your storage unit can help you quickly locate the items you need. There are a few ways you could organize items. You could have a zone for holiday decorations, a zone for sporting equipment, and a zone for seasonal clothing. Label each zone clearly, and make sure that items are in the appropriate zone.
Make the Most Out of Your Vertical Spaces
When organizing your storage unit, it’s important to make the most of your vertical space. This means stacking items vertically and using the full height of your storage unit. However, it’s important to make sure that your stacks are stable and won’t topple over. Use shelves or other organizational tools to help keep your stacks secure.
Ensure You Have a Pathway
It’s important to leave a pathway in your storage unit so that you can easily access all of your items. This means leaving a clear space between your stacks of containers and shelves. A good rule of thumb is to leave a pathway that’s at least 2 feet wide. That way you can comfortably walk through your unit.
