You've done all the packing. You've done all the moving. And now, in addition to facing a big empty space, you're facing an even bigger question: how do you fill it? Well, that's really up to you. But having been in the self-storage business as long as we have, we've seen it all. And we have some thoughts that might help you answer that big question:
- If shelves held stuff out there, they can store stuff in here
- Drawers: they're not just for socks anymore
- While you're not sitting on couch cushions, something breakable should
- Store long things vertically
- Store glass and mirrors between mattresses
- Place smaller and lighter things on top
- Remove wheels from everything
- Start at the back of the unit, using the front area for odd shaped objects
- Chairs make the perfect chairs for other chairs
- Group like items as much as possible
- Use hand carts and save your back
- Avoid using plastic garbage bags for storage, as they can promote mildew
