So, you or a loved one has decided to start the next chapter by downsizing your home. Whether you are downsizing your home into an apartment, condo, senior community or just a smaller house, this was a big decision. Now that the decision has been made, you might be wondering how to make it happen with all the things you have at your current home. Where will you put it all? How will you decide what to get rid of and what to keep? How will you move all your stuff to the new place? Good news, downsizing your home with U-Box ®containers is convenient, flexible, and secure. In fact, you don’t even have to lift a finger!

What are U-Box Containers?

U-Box containers are a portable storage and moving solution, backed by U-Haul, the moving company you know and trust. They allow you to store and move your belongings to any destination(s). They are made of pressure treated plywood to provide a stable and chemical free environment for your belongings. U-Box containers also come with a durable and weather resistant cover to protect your items from weather-related damage.

No matter what kind of new residence you are moving to, downsizing means a smaller space which also means less space for stuff. Before deciding how many U-Box containers you think you’ll need, be sure to check out our blog for 5 Tips to Get Rid of Clutter When Downsizing. Once you get rid of all the clutter and have decided which items to keep, you can reserve the right amount of U-Box containers.

So, what’s the best part about downsizing your home with U-Box containers, you ask? Well, you can ship some of your belongings to your new place, and keep the rest of your items at a U-Haul Storage facility. From old photos to that special chair you want to preserve, and everything in between, it can all be stored in a U-Box container for as long as you’d like. Plus, you can access your items in storage at any time!
