Here are some simple times for your self storage in Fort Collins unit here at Manhattan Self Storage.
Don’t use a bunch of different sized boxes.
This is a mistake that makes it hard when you’re trying to store items. If your storage unit is like a game of Tetris, it is easy for items to fall and break when you’re taking them out. It is also hard to stack them all when you are trying to get them in. Make sure, if you can, to try to have boxes that are all the same size. It might be a little frustrating to have to use an extra box or two, but it makes it worth it when you’re getting in and out of your unit.
Put the stuff you need access to, up front.
Simple and yet some people forget it. If you have items you use on a weekly or monthly basis, store them at the front of the unit. Nothing is more frustrating than having to unload your entire unit each time you need to go to the back and grab a piece of equipment. Organize your unit so that the unused items are in the back and the stuff you need access to is up front.
Mark your boxes.
Labeling is so important. Take 10 seconds to use the sharpie in your pocket. While it may be frustrating to have to label everything when you just want the day to be over. You’ll be thankful the next time you show up and you know what is in each box without having to open it.
We hope these self storage in Fort Collins organizational tips have helped you and we hope you choose Manhattan Storage for your storage needs!
