Choosing the Right Storage Unit Size For You

Selecting the appropriate mini-storage unit size is essential to ensure your possessions are properly stored and protected. Here are some key questions to help you identify your storage requirements:

  • What items do I plan to store? Identify the types and amounts of items you intend to store. Measure any large or bulky items to gauge the space they’ll need.
  • Will I need to access my items frequently? If you need regular access, opt for a conveniently located unit and consider smaller sizes for ease of use.
  • Are any of my items sensitive to temperature or humidity? For items prone to damage from extreme temperature or humidity, climate-controlled units may be required.
  • How efficiently can I pack and stack my items? Make the most of vertical space and pack items closely to maximize storage efficiency. Think about using stackable containers or shelves to make the best use of space.
  • Do I anticipate needing more storage space in the future? If you expect to store more items down the line, it might be wise to choose a larger unit to cater for potential expansion.
  • Can I take advantage of vertical space? Use shelving, stackable containers, and other vertical storage solutions to optimize space and maintain organization.

Once you have a clear understanding of your storage requirements, refer to our size guide to determine the best storage solution for your needs. Our guide provides detailed dimensions and examples of different unit sizes to help you make an informed decision.
