1. Label Your Boxes
Make sure to start the process of moving by investing in some labels and a permanent marker to label your boxes with what is on the inside to help you organize the trip.
2. Put Large Heavy Objects on Bottom
One storage tip you won't want to overlook is to place large heavy objects such as couches and tables at the bottom of the storage unit and stack boxes and smaller objects on top of these larger objects. That way smaller more delicate objects are protected from being crushed or placed under hard to move objects.
3. Keep your furniture Dry
To keep furniture dry and free from mildew it's a good idea to store furniture under plastic tarps. Another way to keep your furniture dry is by storing them on top of wooden pallettes.
4. Create a List
Make sure to keep track of everything that is placed into boxes by making a list of everything and which boxes it went into. That way you are more organized when it's time to unpack everything out at your new location.
5. Place important Items in front
Another way you can make your life easier when organizing your storage unit is to place important frequently used items in the front of the storage unit by the door. That way when you need these items you don't have to dig thru boxes and furniture to get access to them.
