Practical Tips for Efficiently Maximising Space and Easy Access at Canford Magna Storage

Are you tired of sifting through a maze of clutter in your storage unit, searching for items buried under piles of boxes? Don't worry, we've got you covered. Welcome to Canford Magna Storage, where we believe that a well-organised storage unit is the key to a stress-free storage experience. In this guide, we share some practical tips to help you maximise space and maintain easy access to your belongings. 

  • 1: Plan Ahead

    Take some time to plan before you start packing. Make a list of the items you will be storing and categorise them. This will help you choose the right storage containers and organise your space more efficiently.

  • 2: Choose Quality Containers

    Invest in sturdy storage containers that are uniform in size. Clear plastic containers are ideal as they allow you to see what's inside without having to open each box.

  • 3: Label Everything Clearly

    Label each container with its contents and any other relevant information. This will save you time when you need to find something later on.

  • 4: Make Use of Vertical Space

    Stack boxes and containers vertically to make the most of your space. Consider using shelves or pallets to keep items off the floor and protect them from moisture.

  • 5: Create Accessible Aisles

    Leave enough space between rows of containers to create aisles for easy access. This will save you from having to move boxes around to reach the ones at the back.

  • 6: Store Frequently Used Items Near the Front

    Keep items that you will need to access regularly towards the front of the storage unit for convenience.

  • 7: Utilise Furniture for Storage:

    If you have large furniture items, use them to store smaller items. Bookcases, dressers, and cabinets can all provide additional storage space.

  • 8: Keep Track with a Master Inventory

    Maintain a master inventory list of everything stored in your unit. This will help you stay organised and avoid losing track of your belongings.

  • 9: Declutter Regularly

    Schedule regular visits to your storage unit to declutter and reorganise as needed. Donate or dispose of items you no longer need to free up space.

  • 10: Consider Climate-Controlled Storage

    For items sensitive to temperature and humidity, such as electronics or artwork, consider opting for a climate-controlled storage unit to protect them from damage.

At Canford Magna Storage, we understand the importance of efficient organisation. With these tips, you can make the most of your storage space and make accessing your belongings straightforward.
