With each change of the season here in Miramar, FL, local storage units stay busy with people moving things in and out. It's a great way to keep the house decluttered, but it's a quick way to turn your unit into a jumbled mess. If you're having trouble keeping your self storage options organized year round, we can help. Our storage pros are happy to share smart strategies that work with every season.
Resolve to Reorganize
It's never too late to make resolutions that make a difference. Focus that positive attitude on reorganizing your storage unit. Go through all your boxes, and make sure seasonal items are grouped together. Turn the job into an opportunity to take stock of exactly what you have in storage. As you sort through things, develop an inventory list, and use markers to color-code box labels with your system.
Rule Your Stacks
Once you've organized box contents, make it all easier to access by following these stacking rules:
- Designate four separate areas for stacking boxes filled with seasonal items.
- Store things you don't need often on the bottom of your stacks.
- Avoid avalanches by keeping stacks below shoulder height.
- A brick-wall pattern stack lets you move one box without moving them all.
Plot an Easy Layout
Don't let the storage unit turn into a maze that challenges your navigating skills. As you create different sections for different seasons, leave pathways with enough room to turn around while carrying boxes or pushing a dolly.
Freestanding shelving breaks up banks of boxes, gives you a view through the unit, and helps with air circulation. Keep things you use most often near the front, and post a copy of your inventory just inside the unit door.
Sail Through the Seasons
Now you're set to easily retrieve summer vacation gear, fall gardening equipment, and winter holiday decorations. You can head out for spring camping trips while you keep clutter under control at the house. Quarterly self storage inventories are all you need to sail through the seasons and keep your unit in top shape.
