My Storage Unit is Full! Now What?
It's stressful to run out of room in your storage unit, but it's not the end of the world. Whether you decide to clear out your clutter or upgrade to a bigger unit, there are plenty of solutions at StaxUP Storage – San Marcos. Here are some things you can do when your storage unit fills up.
Assess and Declutter
The first thing you should do is think about how you're using your storage unit now. Making a detailed inventory of everything stored inside will help you see what's taking up room. You can also get rid of things you no longer need, whether that means disposing of older decorations that have faded with time or donating clothes that no longer fit. Getting rid of unnecessary belongings can create more space for the things that really matter. You can sell or donate good-condition items to charity, lightening your load and helping others. This easy step can often help you get back some much-needed space in your unit.
Optimize Your Storage Space
Reorganizing might help if getting rid of things isn't an option. If you pack and arrange the contents of your storage efficiently, you can make the most of the room you have.
Start by packing all of your belongings into boxes or bins of the same size and shape. Uniform boxes are easier to stack safely and quickly. Make sure you clearly label each box so you can quickly find things without digging through piles.
Add shelves to your storage unit to make the most of the vertical space. Shelves let you store boxes and smaller, lighter items higher up, making room on the floor for large boxes, furniture, or equipment. Also, think about moving things around so that items you don't use very often are in the back of the unit, while anything you use more often is in the front.
Upgrade to a Larger Unit
Sometimes getting rid of things or rearranging things won't make enough space. That's when getting a bigger unit is the best choice. StaxUP Storage – San Marcos has storage units in different sizes to meet the needs of anyone who wants more storage space.
If you are moving from a smaller unit, a 10' x 20' unit has about 200 square feet of space, which is great for storing furniture, appliances, and big boxes from a house with multiple bedrooms. You can store even more with 10' x 30' or 12' x 30' units, which have up to 300 square feet of room and are great for big household items, business inventory, or even more than one car.
At StaxUP Storage, upgrading your storage unit is a simple process. The on-site management team can walk you through the different sizes and help you choose the best one for your needs now and in the future. With their help, the move to a bigger unit is smooth, so you can get your things moved quickly.
Plan for Future Storage Needs
As you work to organize your storage space, you should also think about what you will need in the future. If you plan for growth, you might not have to upgrade your storage unit size as often. Whether you're growing your family, your business, or just collecting more things over time, picking a unit size that allows for future growth can save you time and work in the long run.
The rental terms at StaxUP Storage are flexible, so you can easily change your storage plan as your needs change. Our team is always ready to help you find the best option.
