Are you going to be renting a storage locker to get things that you don't always need out of your home? If so, it will help to follow these tips that will make it easier to navigate the unit when you visit it again.
Place Large Items Near The Back
When it comes to organizing where things go in a storage unit, you'll want to put large items that are going to be used less frequently near the back of the unit. Think of old appliances like an extra refrigerator. There is no need for these items to be close to the door where they will simply get in the way all the time.
Place Seasonal Items Near The Front
The things you'll most likely be getting out of storage are your seasonal items that only are used once a year, but rotated through frequently. Place all of these items near the front of the unit where you have easy access to them. You'll likely want to grab them and go, and then return to put away the box of items from the previous holiday and grab the next one.
Label All Your Boxes
There will come a day where you need to get something specific out of your storage unit, and the last thing that you want to do is start opening every single box looking for it. That's why it's a good idea to label your boxes in the storage unit with what is inside of them. Don't just write the room that it came from on the outside of the box, but list the important contents on the inside. This will help to find exactly what you are looking for.
In addition, clear bins can make it much easier to find what you are looking for. Having a unified size to all your bins can also allow them to stack easier as well.
Create A Center Aisle
If you have a wide storage unit, it helps to create an aisle in the center of the unit. This gives you access to more items throughout the space so that you have easy access to everything. Don't want to waste empty space by creating an aisle? Consider using a shelf with wheels on it that can be easily rolled in and out of the space to create that aisle. You won't lose the storage space, and it will be easier to access more items.
