Self Storage Tips in Jonesboro

Feb. 3, 2010 - PRLog -- When you’re looking for storage Jonesboro, look no further than The Storage Neighbor.  With both dry and climate controlled options at their Jonesboro facility, you will find the self storage option that works best for you.

As you start packing items to move to your self storage unit, there are a few tips to keep in mind so that you can optimize your storage space.  An empty storage unit may look huge but can fill up very quickly and inefficiently if you don’t follow a few simple guidelines.

1.   Disassemble
Whenever possible, it’s best to disassemble larger items such as beds and tables.  If you can take these items apart, do so, in order to flatten them out and minimize the amount of space they will take up in storage.  You’ll be able to minimize the space in your storage unit if you can streamline the shape of these and similar larger items.

2.  Allow for Access
You’ll probably need to get to various items after they’ve been put into your storage unit, making a means of access necessary.  A center aisle will provide easier access to items when you need to take them out of storage or move them to another area.

3.  Stacking Items
It’s always best to place the heaviest items and boxes on the bottom of the stack, topped by lighter boxes.  Also, try to visualize which items you’ll need access to first and place them in the front or on top of the other items.

4.  Practice Creative Storage
Remember that you can utilize drawers, chests, and similar items as storage containers for small or fragile items.  Don’t forget to place small boxes underneath chairs or tables that can’t be disassembled in order to maximize your storage unit space.

If you follow these tips you will get the most out of your Jonesboro storage space and readily find your stored items when you need them.
