How to use your unit most effectively
When it comes to storage units, you want to maximize the space available to make the most of it! If you manage to pack and store effectively and as best as possible, it will definitely have a big impact. Not only can you fit more items in your storage unit, but you also have easy access to your belongings! In this blog we describe how you can make optimal use of the storage space.
Maximize space
How to use storage space most effectively: Here are our tips and tricks to try to maximize your storage space!
Plan ahead
Planning ahead is the first step to perfectly organizing your storage unit. It is very important to divide the items by size and sort them into groups. The second step is to think about how often you need to use a particular item. That depends on your personal needs. It is important to create clarity here.
Label all boxes clearly
When it comes to boxes and finding things in your storage box, labeling is very important. It’s very frustrating not being able to find a specific item and having to dig through all the boxes. It helps a lot and saves a lot of time and effort when things are clearly labeled.
Break down larger items
When you take apart larger items, you can pack them more effectively and they won’t take up as much space. Keep all pieces of furniture close together to avoid losing metal corners, connectors, bolts, or other important parts. It is best to store the smallest parts such as screws etc. in a plastic bag, which you label and attach to the piece of furniture.
Protect sensitive items
Sensitive items can also be stored well. However, the easiest way is to wrap them in bubble wrap, cloths or other soft items and pack them in boxes. This way you can store them safely without causing any damage.
Blankets and covers
For larger pieces of furniture such as sofas, tables or chairs, using blankets, covers and covers to cover the items is a good idea to protect them from scratches, moisture and other possible damage.
Shelves
If you have a lot of small things that you want to store neatly or want to keep goods off the floor, you can rent shelves from Boxly that we will put in your storage box. Ask us about the options, we will be happy to advise you!
Stack intelligently
Smart stacking usually means starting with the heavy, large pieces of furniture first and then storing the smaller items. Depending on how often you need access to your items, it may be an advantage to have them closer to the front. to be stacked at the back. When stacking it is therefore important to pay attention to functionality.
Access
Keep access routes clear and a space at the back of the storage room so you can access these items if necessary.
