How should you pack a storage unit?
Label boxes on the side facing the aisle, leave a walkway down the middle of your unit, and keep what you'll need most often near the door. For sun-sensitive items, choose an indoor unit away from exterior walls. Measure large furniture before move-in day, and reserve ahead of summer weekends — coastal North County units move fastest in June and July. The on-site team can help you right-size before you rent.
