Top 5 Smart Packing Tips for Your Fernley Storage Unit!

Got a storage unit with us at PSP Mini-Storage in Fernley, Nevada, or planning to get one soon? Make the most of your space and keep your belongings safe with these essential packing tips!

1. Label Everything! You might think you'll remember what's in that box of "miscellaneous," but trust us – you won't! Clearly label all sides of your boxes with contents and the room they came from. Future you will thank you!

2. Use Uniform Box Sizes (When Possible): Stacking is a breeze when your boxes are the same size. This creates stable columns, prevents crushing, and maximizes vertical space in your unit.

3. Pack Heavy Items on the Bottom: Always put the heaviest boxes and items at the base of your storage unit. Lighter, more fragile items go on top to prevent damage.

4. Disassemble Furniture: Beds, tables, and shelves take up less space when taken apart. Store screws and hardware in labeled bags taped to the corresponding furniture piece or stored in a single labeled hardware box.

5. Create an Aisle: If you're storing for a longer period or anticipate needing access to certain items, plan a small aisle or pathway through your unit. Also organize by season so you can easily access Holiday décor or seasonal clothing. This saves you from having to unload everything to find that one specific box!
