Four top tips for storage unit success

Begin by gauging the size of the space you’ll need. A good starting point is to imagine a single garage and consider if your items would fit in it. This will help you decide whether you need a storage unit that is either larger or smaller, or if it is just right.
With a personal storage unit organised, it’s time to focus on the items that take up the most room to store. Our storage and packing advice is to always pack the big items such as beds, lounge suites and tables first in your storage unit. Doing this will be really helpful in using the maximum space available.
Our third piece of packing advice is to pack medium sized items (microwave, dresser, draws, chairs) second. A great way to pack them is to fill the gaps or odd spaces between the big items.
Our fourth piece of advice is about packing small items. For this, our advice is to pack the small or soft items (bedding, clothing) on top of the big items. Again, this helps you to maximise the space in your storage unit.
