How to Organize Your Cincinnati Storage Unit Like a Pro

Published: May 01, 2022

Portable storage containers are useful for storing your things, but if you don’t manage them properly, they can get out of hand. After all, if you fill your container with too many family memories or holiday decorations, it will soon become a mess!

While it may be difficult to keep things in order, follow these tips and tricks from UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Cincinnati to make organizing a storage container easy!

Purchase supplies and create a list

To begin, gather all of your required supplies, such as totes, boxes, tape, tags, and markers. Moving may be a lot easier with a dolly. To maintain track of everything that will be stored in the container, categorize it and make a list of things that will go inside.

Store large, heavy items towards the back of the unit

Fill the back of your container with big things and heavy containers. If possible, break down your furniture and store it on its side to make more room. Before loading heavy items onto your box stack, search for available vertical storage space.

Place items that you use more frequently in the front of the unit

Keep the things you’ll need on hand immediately before your storage container, even if you’re only storing objects for a short time. Labels on boxes are yet another smart idea. Using transparent storage containers rather than cardboard boxes is also a good idea since it allows you to see what’s inside without having to remove the lid!
