Storage units that are organized and accessible can be accessed easily. Imagine that you start to feel the cold and then realize that your winter clothing was in storage. It’s time to head to the storage unit where you have all of your winter clothing such as jackets, coats, and more resources.

They are not there, even after you have spent almost half an hour looking. This is frustrating. It’s true. After you find the boxes and go home, you realize that all the baking and decorations materials are still inside.

What will you be doing? The last thing you can do is go through the entire facility looking for the boxes that are needed. Avoid a mess in the storage area by organizing and planning.

These are a few tips to help you organize your storage unit. Have a look!

1. Don’t select random sizes. This could cause a mess. Stacking causes problems. The best solution is to use medium-sized or smaller boxes. Heavy objects should be placed in large boxes. Keep nothing on top of large boxes.

2. The goal is to easily locate and store the things that you use most often. Be sure to give the item careful consideration. Consider seasonal items prior to anything else. You may also want:

Winter or Summer clothing

2.Trip utilities like tents, cooking utensils, sleeping bags etc.

Decor Items

4.Bakeware

Vacation items

6.Toys

7. Other Tools and Equipment

8.Office files, docs etc.

3. After putting everything inside, you will need to label the boxes. Labeling the box is a great way to make sure you know exactly what’s inside. Add information to the box in order to know what materials or how much are inside.

4. List the contents of each box or item. This list is your masterlist and will help to quickly locate what you’re looking for. Lists can be created either on your computer, or via mobile. Printing also works.

5. It is possible to organize the space by visiting it frequently. It is helpful to unpack and then repack your things. Furniture can be arranged along the opposite box wall. The middle section will be open for access to the other boxes. Moving items can be put in the middle of the box to make them easier to access.

6. A larger unit may be needed. You may find it difficult to reach the contents of the unit if shelves and corners have been crammed full. Pallets allow you to avoid placing furniture or equipment in direct contact on the floor. The larger units can accommodate more items.

7. Outline your boxes. It isn’t necessary to create a detailed technical diagram. Drawing a map manually is enough. The unit could be divided in four sections. Each section would include all boxes and the number of items. The master listing will allow you to find any box, no matter how buried it may be on the map.
