If you’ve ever opened your storage unit and felt overwhelmed, you’re not alone. A disorganized unit can make it hard to find what you need—and even harder to get it out. But with a little planning, a 10x12 storage unit can hold more than you think.
Use Clear Plastic Bins: They make it easy to see contents without opening everything.
Label Every Side: Use waterproof labels so you can read them no matter how things are stacked.
Create a Walking Path: Leave a narrow aisle so you can reach the back without unpacking the front.
Install Free-Standing Shelves: Take advantage of vertical space and avoid crushable piles.
Heavy on the Bottom: Stack heavy items on the floor and lighter ones up top to prevent damage.
Group by Room or Use: Store kitchen, garage, or office items together for easy retrieval.
Keep Essentials in Front: Seasonal gear or documents you’ll need sooner should be accessible.
