Choosing the right storage unit size is crucial for both convenience and cost-effectiveness. Too small, and you'll struggle to fit everything. Too large, and you'll pay for space you don't need.
Understanding Storage Unit Dimensions
Storage units typically come in several standard sizes:
- Small (25 sq ft): Ideal for storing small furniture pieces, several boxes, seasonal items, or business inventory.
- Medium (50-100 sq ft): Perfect for the contents of a 1-2 bedroom apartment, including appliances and furniture.
- Large (150-200 sq ft): Suitable for a 3-4 bedroom house, including larger appliances and furniture sets.
- Extra Large (300+ sq ft): Designed for large households, business inventory, or vehicle storage.
Assessing Your Storage Needs
Before selecting a unit, take inventory of what you plan to store:
- Create a detailed list of all items
- Measure larger pieces of furniture
- Consider how items can be stacked or disassembled
- Factor in aisle space for access
Tips for Maximizing Storage Space
Once you've chosen a unit, maximize your space with these strategies:
- Disassemble furniture when possible
- Use uniform box sizes for easier stacking
- Create an inventory map
- Place frequently accessed items near the front
- Utilize vertical space with shelving
