Bring Shelving Units

Shelving units can help you organize and easily access your items.  Shelving units may also free up floor space and elevate your items from any undesirable conditions.  If you don't have shelving units, we recommend using plastic totes with lids that are all the same size.  This makes for easy stacking.

Pack From the Back

We recommend packing your unit at the back, with the most valuable items first and then storing items along the sides of your unit. Packing items on the perimeter of the unit will leave a walking path and allow for easier access too.

Tall Items on the Wall

Store all your tall items including mattresses, mirrors, windows, screens, photo frames, decor and miscellaneous tall items against a wall.  This will allow easier access and maneuvering within your storage unit.
