Spaceman Storage

If you own a business, then you can use a self-storage unit as an impromptu showroom to allow your customers to see what you have available.

If your unit is large enough, adopt an M-shaped storage plan. Position large pieces against the side and back walls, place mid-sized pieces next, put boxes and small items down the center, and leave two narrow aisles for access.

Every time you store anything for a long period of time, there’s a possibility of bugs and dust, even in self storage. Fortunately, you can take precautions by wrapping belongings like furniture in industrial plastic wrap to keep out the bugs.

Don’t forget to use the vertical space efficiently and well. Prop mattresses and table tops against the wall, stand sofas and long sectionals on end, nest stacking chairs and place upholstered chairs seat to seat.
