A storage unit is a practical solution when you need extra space to store your belongings - whether it's furniture, moving boxes or other things you don't use every day.

It's especially useful when you're moving house, renovating or simply lacking space at home.
At Pelican Self Storage, we offer rooms in many different sizes to suit your needs.<\/p>

Here are 7 tips to help you make the most of your storage space:<\/p>

1. fill your moving boxes with care<\/strong>
Make sure you fill your moving boxes carefully and efficiently.
Check how much weight the boxes can carry and avoid overfilling them so you can stack them safely on top of each other.
This way you can maximize space and avoid damage to your belongings.<\/p>

2. label your boxes<\/strong>
Remember to make a note of what is in each box and label them clearly if they contain fragile items.
This will make it easier for you when you need to find certain items later and will also help you avoid breaking them during handling.<\/p>

3. disassemble furniture<\/strong>
If you are storing furniture, it is a good idea to disassemble smaller pieces and bag them to prevent them from getting lost.
Wrap furniture carefully to protect it during storage and transportation.<\/p>

4. make sure your storage unit meets your needs<\/strong>
Check your storage unit before you move in.
Make sure it is clean, dry and ventilated so that your belongings are stored in the best possible conditions.<\/p>

5. maximize space <\/strong>
Place large items such as sofas, beds and paintings vertically in the room if possible.
Storing larger items vertically will create more space for moving boxes and smaller items and ensure you make the most of your storage space.<\/p>

6. place heavy items at the bottom<\/strong>
The heaviest items should be placed at the bottom, while lighter and fragile items are stored at the top.
This provides stable and secure storage and helps you to use the space efficiently.<\/p>

7. create space for movement<\/strong>
Remember to leave some space between your things so you can move around the room.
Place the things you need most often closest to the door so you can easily grab them when you need them.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
