Here are some tips on how to use self storage effectively while moving home:

  • Start planning early. The earlier you start planning your move, the more time you will have to pack and declutter your belongings. This will make it easier to decide what you need to store and what you can get rid of.
  • Choose the right storage unit size. It is important to choose a storage unit that is the right size for your belongings. If you choose a unit that is too small, you will not have enough space to store everything you need. If you choose a unit that is too large, you will be wasting money on storage space that you do not need.
  • Pack your belongings carefully. When packing your belongings for storage, it is important to pack them carefully to protect them from damage. Use sturdy boxes and packing materials, and label each box with the contents.
  • Label your storage boxes. Once you have packed your belongings, it is important to label your storage boxes with your name and address. This will help to ensure that your belongings are not lost or misplaced.
  • It is a good idea to purchase insurance for your belongings while they are in storage. This will protect you in case your belongings are damaged or stolen.
  • Check the security of the storage facility. Before you rent a storage unit, it is important to check the security of the facility. Make sure that the facility is well-lit and has security cameras.
  • Visit the storage facility regularly. It is a good idea to visit your storage facility regularly to check on your belongings. This will help to ensure that your belongings are safe and secure.
  • Unpack your belongings as soon as possible. Once you have moved into your new home, it is important to unpack your belongings as soon as possible. This will help you to get settled into your new home and avoid paying for storage fees for longer than necessary.
