    How to Choose the Right Storage Unit Size

    Tips for Choosing:

    • Take Inventory: Document everything you need to store.

    • Measure Your Items: Measure larger belongings like sofas, beds, dining tables, appliances, boxes, and any oversized items to make sure you rent a big enough unit.

    • Test the Space: Use painter's tape to map out spaces with each unit size's dimensions to see if your items will fit.

    • Remember to Stack: Most storage units offer 8-foot ceilings, though select locations may offer higher ceilings—stack items and boxes to see how you can maximize vertical space.

    • Create Walkways: While planning your layout, include walking space inside the unit so you can easily access your belongings.

    • Upgrade if Unsure: It's usually better to choose the next size up if you're unsure about unit sizes—especially with large storage units used for full household moves or vehicles.

    Additional Considerations:

    • Accessibility: If you expect to make frequent visits to your units, a 10x25 or 10x30 may be better since they allow for wider walkways and easier access to stored items.

    • Climate Control: For temperature-sensitive belongings, storage units with climate control can help protect against extreme temperatures and humidity.

    • Drive-Up Access: If you're storing heavy furniture, equipment, or vehicles, drive-up units streamline the loading and unloading process.

    • Vehicle, RV, & Boat Storage: Make sure to measure the dimensions of your recreational vehicle, camper, or boat beforehand to select the right unit or parking space for it.
