Storage Unit Size Guide
What Size Storage Do I Need?
Selecting the ideal storage unit size is crucial when renting from a self-storage facility. Finding the balance between a cramped space and unnecessary expenses is essential. To assist you in making an informed decision, we have prepared a comprehensive guide to help determine the perfect storage unit size for your specific needs.
1. Evaluate Your Storage Requirements:
​Before choosing a storage unit, carefully assess your storage needs. Consider the size of the items you plan to store and create a detailed inventory. Categorize your belongings into groups, such as furniture, appliances, boxes, and miscellaneous items.
​2. Consider Accessibility:
​When determining the storage unit size, factor in accessibility as well. If you anticipate frequent access to your items, consider selecting a slightly larger unit that allows for easy maneuvering within the space.
​3. Anticipate Future Needs:
​Anticipate any potential changes in your storage requirements in the near future. If you expect to acquire additional items or downsize your belongings, it is advisable to consider those possibilities. Renting a slightly larger unit than your current needs can save you the inconvenience of switching units later.
4. Seek Assistance:
​If you still feel unsure about the appropriate unit size, do not hesitate to seek guidance from our friendly staff. They possess the experience and knowledge to assist customers and provide valuable insights based on their expertise.
