If you are planning on renting one of our storage units Godmanchester, this is the article for you. Here we will take you through how to make the most of your storage unit. 

If you have never used self storage before, it can be very overwhelming. You may not know where to begin and this may prevent you from using self storage even though it could be very helpful in your life. Self storage is not all that complicated but it is a good idea to get it right so you don’t end up with too much space, not enough or a disorganised unit. 

Our teams are always here to help but we thought an article about how to make the most of your storage units Godmanchester would be helpful so here it is. 

Let’s get started!

1. Make A Plan

Before you even begin looking at storage units Godmanchester, you need to make a plan. You will want to make a list of everything that you want to store within your storage unit. This will help you to see how big a unit you need and how it will be best to organise everything. 

2. Choose The Right Size Unit 

This leads us nicely to our next tip – make sure you choose the right size storage unit for your needs. You need to make sure that it is the right size so you don’t struggle to fit in or your belongings and so you don’t have excess space that you aren’t using. 

If, even after making your plan, you aren’t sure which unit is right for you, our Godmanchester team is here to help. 

3. Pack Everything Properly 

Next, you need to make sure that you pack everything properly. With large pieces of furniture, it is a good idea to try and dismantle them, if you can. If you aren’t sure how to do this yourself, there are many companies that offer services like this such as Taskrabbit. 

If you are boxing up some items, you need to make sure to use good quality boxes such as the multi-walled ones that you buy in our Box Shop. Also, if you use all the same boxes, you will be able to stack this on top of each other. 

4. Plan Your Layout

Once everything is boxed up and/or dismantled, have a think about where you want everything to go within your unit. Having a good idea of where you will be placing everything will make it so much easier to keep your storage units Godmanchester organised. 

If there are items that you will need access to more often, make sure to place these at the front of your layout. And, if you are using your storage unit to store business stock and you have employees, make sure they know where everything goes. It would be a good idea to draw up the layout and keep this at the front of your unit. 

5. Use All The Space

In order to make the most of your unit, you will want to use all the space, including all the vertical space. If you are just storing boxes, you can do this by simply piling the boxes on top of each other, making sure to put the heavy ones at the bottom. 

If you aren’t using boxes or need easier access to all the boxes, shelving is a really good idea. This will allow you to be organised and will mean that you will still be using all the vertical space. 

6. Leave Space For You

When you are making your layout and thinking about how to use all the space within your storage units Godmanchester, you will also need to leave space for you to enter and walk around the unit. 

It is a good idea to create aisles so you can easily access all your items without having to move everything. 

7. Keep An Inventory 

Once everything is in your unit, it is a good idea to keep an inventory of everything that is within the unit. This could be a simple list or you could use a spreadsheet to keep a more detailed log. Having an inventory, alongside a layout plan, will save you a lot of time when you want to find a certain item.
