As soon as September rolls around, you know two things are true: summer is officially over and school is back in session. With the chaos that a new school year brings, it can take a while to feel completely organized and settled. However, just because this time of year can be hectic does not mean that you should let your home get cluttered. Fort Knox wants to help you get established and ready to go this fall by providing you with some organization tips to take with you to your storage unit.
Storage units at Fort Knox are a safe and affordable way to store clothes, shoes, supplies, and other items that you do not necessarily need during this time of year. For example, now that Labor Day is over, it is probably a good time to lock up any bathing suits and summer clothing that you will no longer be wearing in order to free up some space in your home for fall essentials. We are excited to share with you some storage unit organization tips to help you get your home straightened out and ready for a great year!
Create and maintain a list of all your inventory inside the storage unit. This will help you remember what is in there, because it can be hard to remember it all.
Store your items in clear bins. Clear bins make it much easier to see what is inside, which will be useful when you need to find that one hat you swore you wouldn’t need or that costume for Halloween!
Label everything! Even if you store all your items in clear bins, it can be tough to find what you are looking for when there is a lot of stuff in each container. Labeling makes your life much easier!
Put large, heavy items towards the back and at the bottom. You do not want to crush your smaller and lighter possessions by putting heavier items on top of them.
Store the items you use more frequently toward the front for easy access.
Stack your items vertically and to maximize space in the unit. It is also smart to make sure that everything fits tightly together so that nothing falls over and potentially breaks.
Fort Knox hopes that you will start your school year strong by keeping your home organized by taking advantage of all that our storage units have to offer. These storage unit organization tips should help you pack up the unit like a pro!
