When it comes to self-storage, there are a few challenges that you need to overcome. One of those challenges is keeping storage container organised and avoiding clutter all together. This blog will take a quick look at five storage tips for keeping your storage container neatly arranged and clutter-free!   Why keep your storage container organised?   Besides the convenience that an organised Storage container will give you, keeping your valuables neatly arranged can help prevent any unnecessary damage to your belongings caused by the weight resulting in pilling things atop one another. It can also help prevent damage resulting from poor positioning of your items. Luckily for you, keeping your Storage container clutter-free is easy! Here’s how:   Choose a single box/crate size for all your valuables   Having the same box or crate sizes for as many of your belongings as possible will help with stacking and accessibility. Even though this may not work well for some of your belongings, it’ll help you organise everything that can go into a box or a crate. Always keep in mind that larger boxes are good for items that aren’t necessarily heavy but may not hold up well at the bottom of large stacks. It’s also more difficult to get things out of those boxes once they’ve already been stacked.   Know which items you need frequent access to   Items that you need to access more often than others should be kept in front of all your belongings so that you won’t need to remove things from your stacks when trying to access them. Items like tools and clothing should be put ahead of everything else to save you frustration.   Don’t underestimate the power of a label   Labelling each box with unique numbers, the room/place they came from and the contents of the boxes will allow you to keep your container less cluttered. You can also place a special mark on boxes or crates that you need to access frequently. Remember, the devil is in the detail with your labels.   Create a comprehensive content/ inventory list   When you have a lot of items in a storage container, it’s hard to remember where you put everything. Large items may be easy to remember, but things that go into boxes and crates are a different story.   To keep your items organised, we recommend you create a complete spreadsheet to help keep track of all your items. Be sure to also note where in your storage container your items are located.   Consider clear containers in your container   Even though clear plastic containers are more expensive than cardboard boxes or crates, plastic bins make it much easier for you to find your items when they’re scattered throughout your Storage container.   If all these storage tips don’t work out for you, you may want to consider getting another storage container.

The growing trend of re-purposing shipping containers is taking the world by storm. Only a few years ago it might have been considered an outrageous idea to the average home owner, who imagined life inside a metal box. Of course the incredible ideas people are coming up with have put that old image to rest. New and experienced home owners alike are designing and buying their own container homes, opening brand new container contained offices and even retrofitting these recycled boxes into state of the art refrigeration units.So where are people getting these wild container ideas?It comes from the new type of freedom which retrofitted shipping containers allow for. Where once you either had to buy an existing, traditional house with a set shape, or wait nearly a year for one to be built to your specifications, now you can have a new home of almost any shape and size delivered to you in a matter of weeks. Flexible Container Ideas to Maximise Any Space Want to open a new store somewhere but there isn’t enough space to accommodate your particular vision, these containers could well be the solution to your woes. They’re ideal for office space and customisation because you’re able to make a store or office exactly the size and scale you need it to be. If you can only get a small area of space to open your store then why not stack your containers up high and get the most out of that space? Of course they are also excellent for storage and in the same way can be scaled to your requirements. Their durability and ease with being transported make them ideally suited to this task, but arguably the place where people have become the most creative with their container ideas is when using them either as homes or creating features for their homes. In some cases all one needs is the durable frame itself. The walls of your storage container can easily be remove and refitted with other materials. This is why they so easily stack onto one another as well.
