How to Organize Your Columbus Storage Unit Like a Pro

Published: June 01, 2022

Portable storage containers are convenient for keeping your belongings, but if you don’t keep them organized, they can get out of hand. After all, if you fill your box with too many family memories or holiday decorations, it can become a disaster!

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

Purchase supplies and create a list

To begin, gather all of your necessary materials, such as totes, boxes, tape, tags, and paint. A dolly can make moving easier too. To keep track of everything that will be placed in the container, categorize it and create a list of items that will go inside.

Store large, heavy items towards the back of the unit

Fill the rear of your container with hefty things and large items. If possible, break down your furniture and store it on its side to make more space. Look for accessible vertical storage space before loading big items onto your box stack.

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

Keep the things you’ll need on hand right now towards the front, even if you’re only storing things for a brief time. Labeling containers is yet another excellent idea. Using transparent storage containers rather than cardboard boxes is also a fantastic alternative since it allows you to see what’s inside without having to take the lid off!
