How to Organize Your New Orleans Storage Unit Like a Pro

Published: April 01, 2022

Portable storage containers are ideal for keeping your things, but they can get out of control if you don’t arrange them correctly. After all, if you fill your container with too many family memories or holiday decorations, it will soon become a shambles!

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

Purchase supplies and create a list

To begin, gather all of your required materials such as totes, boxes, tape, tags, and markers. A dolly may make moving a lot easier. To keep track of everything that will be stored 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 back of your container with big things and boxes. If possible, break down your furniture and reassemble it on its sides to make more room. Check for available vertical storage space before loading heavier objects 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 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!
