To prevent dampness, put your boxes on pallets, which are provided for free at the location.
For things that you need to access more frequently, put them at the front or leave an aisle through the center of the unit.
To prevent any lumpiness or your mattress becoming bent, stand your mattress straight up on its side have something leaning against it on both sides to prevent it from falling over.
Put any electronics or valuables in the back of your unit.
Protect any fragile items by wrapping them in bubble wrap or cloth and labeling the box fragile on every side.

Stand any mirrors and pictures in a box labeled fragile on every side.
For maximum ventilation, don’t lean any furniture or mattresses along the walls of the unit.
Avoid placing any heavy items on sofas or mattresses.
Place heavier boxes on the bottom and stack similar sized boxes together.
Use boxes that are able to hold about 35 to 40 pounds and have a secured bottom/sides to prevent your items from falling through the bottom.
