8 Tips for Choosing the Right Storage Unit Size

Write down a list of every item you plan to put away in storage
Consider if you’ll put additional items into storage in the future
Decide whether you’ll stack items on top of each other in storage
Consider the shape and size of your boxes and use containers that stack easily to maximise space
Use a tape measure to see how much space you’ll need when boxes are stacked next to each other
If you’re planning on renting a storage unit for the short-term, consider packing your boxes as closely as possible to save space
If you’re planning on renting a storage unit or container for the long-term, put items you’ll most likely need at the front of your unit and leave a walkway down the middle of your unit for easy access
Ask to see a storage unit or container in person to get a better feel for its size, as opposed to trying to visualise the space in your head
