Packing Tips
To maximize storage space, stack boxes up to your 5×5 unit’s ceiling. Avoid leaning items against walls as this can be a potential safety hazard. When packing, put heavier items at the bottom to create a stable base and place the heaviest boxes at the bottom of the stack. Keep frequently used items close to the door for easy access.
Indoor vs. Outdoor Units
Indoor 5×5 storage units provide added protection from the elements and are ideal for long-term storage seekers. They are located within buildings with wide hallways and may have climate control options. Outdoor units offer the convenience of drive-up access, making it easier to load and unload large items. The temperature in these units will generally reflect the local weather conditions.
Vehicle Storage
A 5×5 storage unit is generally not suitable for vehicle storage. For vehicle storage needs, consider larger units or dedicated vehicle storage options.
