When you find yourself running out of storage space in your home and garage, you may need to hire one or more storage units at a local storage facility. Stayton Mini Storage, the premier self-storage company in Stayton, OR, offers a variety of tips below to help you manage and organize your storage space. Serving the area since 1993, Stayton Mini Storage offers numerous solutions to fit your storage needs and budget.

To organize your local storage space effectively, follow these suggestions:

• Keep A List: Make a list of everything in the unit; a photo inventory is also useful. This allows you to quickly determine what is in the self-storage unit without digging through it.
• Label Boxes: Label the contents on the outside of each box. Use permanent marker so the labels don't fade, and write on white label stickers, so you can replace them when the contents change.  
• Place Heavy Items On The Bottom: This may seem elementary, but many people forget to place the heaviest items on the floor. This keeps fragile items from being crushed and prevents heavy boxes from toppling to the ground.
• Place Needful Things In Front: Place items you may need frequent access to in the front, so you can get to them easily and quickly during future visits.
• Store Items In Clear Plastic Containers: Plastic resists mold much better than cardboard does, and transparent plastic lets you see what’s inside before opening the box.
• Leave A Walkway: Arrange items so you leave a walkway to the rear of your storage units. This gives you easier access to all items without having to remove and shift heavy boxes.
