When you think of storage space, you are probably thinking of huge boxes, containers or heavy cabinets. Those are common materials used to store items in household or even in business.

But one common problem with using those is that they consume space themselves. They need some floor space just to put these boxes or containers and gives you less space to walk or move around in. The other problem is that these storage containers can be heavy especially when full. Unless you hire our team that could help you with your storage requirements in Sydney, chances are you will do all these strenuous work on your own or with the help of your household and friends.

Organizing Your Self-Storage

  • Check with the facility if they have trolleys or machineries that you can use especially if you are storing or lifting heavy boxes or furniture.
  • Try to create an aisle and leave enough room for you to roam around if you want to get something from your unit.
  • Stack similarly sized boxes together to save space.
  • Do not lean furniture against outside walls.
  • Put boxes or things that you might access frequently at the front of your unit.
  • Wedge the doors of your kitchen appliances to avoid bad odors and mildew.
  • If you have wobbly furniture or equipment, store them horizontally.

Packing Your Stuff

One benefit of doing it yourself is that you will know exactly where your things are so can get it easily once you want to unpack it. Efficient packing is the key in maximizing your storage space.

  • Wrap fragile items separately.

  • Separate lamp bases and lampshades and wrap them for protection.

These are very easy-to-do tips so make sure that if you are relocating and storing your stuff, you apply these. But remember, packing and storing might be taxing but still, try as much as you can to enjoy the process.
