Personal Storage Units

Smart Packing

Use uniform box sizes for easier stacking. Keep heavy items in smaller boxes to maintain manageability.

The Label System

Label boxes on all four sides with contents and the room they belong to. Use color-coded tape for rooms.

The Essentionals

Keep a "First Night Box" with essentials (toiletries, charger, snacks, bedding) so you aren't searching through units later.

Storage Specific Tips

Climate Control Matters

Protect your photos, electronics, and wood furniture from humidity and extreme temperature changes.

The 'Aisle' Method

Store items you may need to access frequently (like winter clothes or holiday decor) near the front of the unit.

Vertical Thinking

Use all your space. Safely stack heavy items on the bottom and use shelving units to utilize vertical height.

Protect Your Items

Invest in pallet or moisture-barrier floor liners. Never place delicate items directly on the concrete.
