If you’re planning a home renovation, you might need a storage unit to keep your furniture safe while your home is under construction. Below are some things to consider. 

1. Inspect the unit before you store anything.
Check for leaks and pests in your storage unit before you place any furniture inside. If you’re only using a storage unit short-term, you want your pieces to be in pristine condition when you take them out in a few months. Before you place any furniture in the unit, deep clean the floor and walls.

2. Put some plastic on the floor.
It’s smart to line the floor of your storage unit with plastic before putting any furniture inside. This will protect both the furniture and the floor. It will also make it easier to slide furniture around when you have to rearrange or take things out of the unit. 

3. Take apart what you can.
If you can disassemble any of your furniture, do so. This will make it significantly easier to pack your unit to maximum capacity and keep things organized.
