How to Pack and Organize a 5x5 Storage Unit

Maximize your 25 square feet by utilizing vertical space. Use sturdy, labeled boxes, disassemble furniture to save floor space, and stack heavier items at the bottom to reach the full 8-foot height safely.

• Use sturdy boxes
  Place smaller items into boxes to keep them organized and stackable. This helps you use the vertical space in the unit.
• Label your boxes
  Be sure to label each box with the contents so you can quickly find items when you need them.
• Disassemble furniture
  If you're storing furniture like a small table or chairs, consider disassembling them to save space.
• Use soft items for padding
  You can use blankets or clothing to protect fragile items while taking up minimal space.
• Stack boxes
  Stack boxes neatly, with heavier ones on the bottom and lighter ones on top, to avoid crushing anything inside.
