How to Organize Your Storage Unit Like a Pro in San Diego

Published: August 01, 2022

Storage containers may be useful for keeping your possessions safe, but if you don’t properly arrange them, they can become a jumbled mess. After all, if you fill your box with too many family memories or Christmas decorations, it will soon become a catastrophe!

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

Purchase supplies and create a list

Gather everything you need, such as totes, boxes, tape, tags, and paint. It may be simpler to move with a dolly. Organize your possessions and make a list of those that will be placed inside the container to keep track of everything that will be placed in it.

Store large, heavy items towards the back of the unit

Fill the rear of the container with big and hefty things. If possible, deconstruct any furniture and lay it on its side to make more room. Look for empty vertical storage space before loading huge items onto your box stack.

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

Keep the most vital things visible in the front, even if you’re only keeping stuff for a short time. Labeling containers is also a fantastic idea. Using transparent storage boxes rather than cardboard boxes is better since it allows you to see what’s inside without having to remove the lid and is also environmentally friendly!
