How to Choose the Right Storage Unit Size

1. Take Inventory of Your Items

Start by making a list of everything you plan to store. Include furniture, appliances, boxes, and any other items. This will help you visualize the space needed.

2. Consider Your Storage Goals

Are you storing items temporarily during a move, or do you need long-term storage? Temporary storage might require more space for easy access, while long-term storage can be packed more efficiently.

3. Think About Access Needs

If you'll need to access your items frequently, consider getting a slightly larger unit to allow for walkways and easy access to all your belongings.

4. Use Our Storage Calculator

Our free storage calculator takes the guesswork out of choosing the right size. Simply input your items and get a personalized recommendation.

Storage Tips for Maximum Space Efficiency

1. Disassemble Furniture

Take apart large furniture pieces like beds, tables, and shelving units. This will save significant space and make your items easier to stack.

2. Use Vertical Space

Stack boxes and items from floor to ceiling. Place heavier items on the bottom and lighter items on top.

3. Create Aisles

Leave narrow walkways so you can access items in the back of the unit without having to move everything.

4. Use Uniform Boxes

Use boxes of the same size when possible. This makes stacking easier and more efficient.

5. Store Items Upright

Store mattresses, box springs, and other large flat items on their sides to save floor space.
