How do you pack a 5x10 storage unit?

To maximize storage space, stack boxes up to your 5x10 self storage unit’s ceiling. Avoid leaning any of your things against walls, as this can be a potential safety hazard. When you’re packing, put heavier items at the bottom of boxes to create a stable base. Then, place the heaviest boxes at the bottom of the stack. Getting creative with storage options and item placement can help save space too. Consider tucking away small items like books or CDs inside an appliance, like a mini-fridge. Keep items you need to get to frequently at the front of your 5x10 self storage unit, and make sure you clear a path down the center of your storage unit for easy access.
