If you are running a busy and bustling local business, the chances are you have considered or have already utilised self storage. Why not try Kent Storage? As storage experts, we have a range of units to suit your requirements. Not only that but we have some key advice to help make sure you make the most of the space and the way you store your contents.

Making good use of space

If you already have a unit, it’s always good to keep an eye on items you add and how that impacts your access to the space. If you have an influx of items you need to store, no matter how temporary, we can provide an additional unit or move you to a larger room should you need it. Always make sure that the size of the unit works for you as this will save you time and energy that you can use to progress your business.

How to pack up your business items

If you need boxes for your business storage, Kent Storage can help. We offer a range of different sized boxes as well as archive boxes which are perfect for storing paperwork. If you are using boxes, it’s a good idea to label everything as detailed as possible and make sure the label is facing you when stacking the items in your unit. If boxes are unlikely to be opened, it’s a good idea to secure and seal them with packing tape. Think about your items too. If you are storing lightweight items, you can afford to pack them in larger boxes. If you have heavier items, it’s best to keep to smaller boxes so that they are easier to move, lift and transport. We can also help you organise racking should this be part of your requirements. If you are looking to use your unit for stock or overflow, you can still use open boxes or perhaps bring your own storage bins, but again, make sure to label carefully for easy use as it can save you precious time.

How to pack your unit

Keeping your storage space organised is very important. If you are simply looking to store your items and will not require regular access, you can pack a room quite tightly. Stacking high and filling a smaller sized room can help save you money. However, if you need regular access to the items and space to operate, it’s best to group your items and stack or store them around the edges of the room, it is the most convenient system taking into account how regularly you need to access each section. If you are not using racking, remember to stack the same size boxes on top of one another rather than overloading weaker smaller boxes by piling larger, heavier ones on top. It’s a good idea to make the most of the height of the unit too, not just the floor space. 

Don’t forget that we offer 24/7 access as well as delivery as part of your business storage experience.
