Choosing The Right Storage Unit Size
The different storage sizes available are designed to accommodate the most common storage needs of consumers. Generally, you might be thinking about renting a storage unit for one of two common reasons:
- You require a storage solution for your home: If your belongings are beginning to crowd your living space, a self-storage unit can offer the advantage of additional storage when you need it. Using a storage unit can help keep your home free from clutter and create more space for everyday living.
- You require a storage solution for your business: As a business owner, having a safe, cost-efficient off-site place to store paperwork, stock, equipment, and other business assets can be vital. With their all-year-round accessibility and multiple security features, leasing a storage unit can be the most sensible solution for your business at a reasonable price.
To help you select a suitable unit size, here are some common storage uses along with a suggested size range:

Popular Types of Storage at 1698 West 3rd Ave
Temperature Control / Heated Units
Heated storage units are designed to protect your stored items from the potential effects of low temperatures. Kept within a specific range, usually between 10°C to 25°C, these units offer consistent conditions to minimize the risk of damage to temperature-sensitive belongings.
While most home goods don’t require this type of storage, it’s a smart option if you intend to store items during winter or for a prolonged storage period, such as a year or longer. Visiting your unit during colder seasons would also be much more pleasant when you’re storing your things in a heated storage unit.
It’s good to know that some of your belongings may need minor preparation for safe storage, while others might need a fully temperature-controller unit. For more information on that kind of unit, learn more about temperature-controlled storage units.
Outdoor Parking Spaces
Outdoor parking spaces offer secure storage for your vehicle, serving as a practical option when you lack parking space at home or need seasonal or long-term storage for a car. These outdoor parking spaces are available in different sizes, making them suitable for all types of passenger vehicles, including RVs or motorhomes, trailers, commercial vehicles, and small boats. These spaces are an ideal solution for vehicles that can’t fit into a standard garage-style drive-up unit due to their size or height.
Here are some key benefits of renting an outdoor vehicle storage spot:
- Security: Our storage sites are well-lit and enclosed, equipped with surveillance cameras and electronic access control systems. These measures ensure the safety of your vehicle or trailer around the clock.
- Convenience: Outdoor storage allows unrestricted access during gate hours, letting you access your vehicle whenever you need without additional fees or a check-in process.
- Affordability: Outdoor storage is generally more cost-effective than indoor storage options, making it a budget-friendly choice for both seasonal and long-term storage needs.
- Flexibility: Outdoor parking can accommodate vehicles or trailers of any size. It’s ideal for taller vehicles like cargo vans, recreational vehicles such as RVs, small boats with masts, or any vehicle that exceeds the size limitations of enclosed storage units.
Indoor Storage
Our indoor storage units are accessible only from inside the facility, providing you with a secure, weather-protected space that keeps your items clean and dry no matter the season.
Business Storage
Our mini-storage units are perfect for small business operations. They offer a secure and accessible off-site space for storing workplace inventory, supplies, business records, and other assets. With the flexibility that self-storage offers, you can scale your business without the expense of commercial property leasing or ownership.

If you’re a student at the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, and University Canada West, this location offers secure, convenient, and cost-effective storage solutions. Our flexible leases mean our compact storage units provide you with temporary storage for your items during semester breaks, while studying overseas, or if you just need additional space to supplement your on-campus or off-campus accommodation.
To find out if student storage is the right choice for you, discover more about our storage solutions for university and college students.
Locker Storage
If you don’t have a lot to store, particularly for smaller items, a full-size self-storage unit can be far more space than what you actually need. In this case, you can consider renting a storage locker that comes in economical sizes ranging in feet between 2×2 and 4×4.
When organizing and decluttering your living space, storage lockers are designed to secure smaller-sized portable items that don’t require much square-footage, while bringing you all the benefits of a self-storage facility. Learn more about the key points of renting a storage locker to help you decide when this would be the right storage solution.
