SIZE GUIDE
Selecting the right storage unit size is an important step when renting self-storage. Finding a balance between too little space and paying for more than you need ensures efficiency and cost savings. To help you make the best choice, follow these simple guidelines:
1. Assess Your Storage Needs
Start by evaluating what you plan to store. Make an inventory and group items such as furniture, appliances, boxes, and seasonal belongings. This will give you a clear idea of the space required.
2. Factor in Accessibility
If you’ll need regular access to your items, consider choosing a slightly larger unit. Extra space makes it easier to organize and move around inside the unit without hassle.
3. Plan for the Future
Think ahead to potential changes in your storage needs. Whether you plan to add more items or downsize later, selecting a unit with a little extra room can save you the trouble of moving to a different unit later.
