Self storage facilities are designed to make your life easier by providing an additional storage space to keep temporary, seasonal or less-frequently used items. They were not meant as a burial ground for items that won’t fit in the basement, never to be looked at or used again.
To get the most of your self storage facility, it’s important that you keep all your items organized, inventoried and easily accessible. To that end, today we’re checking out some cool products to help you keep your self storage unit nice and tidy.
Shelving
Use shelving to maximize the height of your storage unit. Instead of stacking things on top of each other, making it difficult to pull things out from the bottom, shelving allows you to easily access items and store misshaped items together.
Totes, Tubs, Bins
These are great for keeping toys, clothes, shoes and collections safe. We highly recommend going with the clear totes so that you can easily identify what’s inside.

We like this wardrobe because it protects your clothes and keeps them well organized. This storage unit has a few shelves to store sweaters while your other items hang. Be sure to use wooden hangers and throw in a few cedar blocks to keep clothes fresh.
