Take apart beds, tables, and other bulky furniture when possible. This saves space and allows for safer storage in both indoor units and ground-level spaces.
5. Keep Heavy Items on the Bottom
Stack boxes with heavier items on the bottom and lighter items on top. This prevents crushing and keeps your storage unit organized.

Arrange your unit so that frequently used items are near the front. Leave walkways between stacks to access all your belongings easily.
