How Much Space Do I Need?
Mini-Storage Facilities: Space
How can you make the most of our mini-storage facilities in Manhattan? Here are few tips:
- Stack similar sized boxes together, so cartons are stable on top of one another.
- Use a combination of small, medium and large boxes to better fit the items you are putting inside.
- Think vertical. Some items take up less space when stored vertically, like furniture.
- Do not overstuff the boxes. Rounded tops make them less than sturdy when other boxes are placed on top.
- Put heavier cartons on the bottom and lighter ones on top.
- Wrap fragile items carefully. Remember, you're not just storing items, you're moving them in and out of storage, so breakage can be a problem.
- If you plan to visit your mini-storage facility before you remove all of the contents, create a few pathways to walk in between for better accessibility.
- Don't forget to label everything on multiple sides, especially for covered furniture or closed cartons.
