Space isn’t the only thing to consider when choosing what size storage unit you need. Think about how you will be utilizing the space.
Items like bikes, sporting equipment and large furniture aren’t easy to stack and will take up more floor space. If you’re storing collectibles, antiques, or other fragile items, you don’t want to damage them by cramming them into too tight a space.
If you’re doing short-term storage, you probably won’t need to access your items often and can opt for a smaller unit to pack more densely. For long-term or ongoing storage needs, a unit with a bit more room makes adding or taking away items easier without having to unpack the whole unit.
Suppose you’re using a unit to store access inventory for your business or keep your personal belongings during a renovation. In that case, chances are you’ll be coming to your unit often. A bigger unit can make it easier to organize and find items quickly.
If you’ll be adding stuff to your unit in the near future, it’s better to select a unit size with that amount in mind instead of what you’re starting with. Paying for one slightly bigger unit is cheaper than adding a second because you ran out of space.
If you’re still unsure what size unit you need, don’t hesitate to ask for help. Our friendly staff at Storage Post can make recommendations based on the items you need to store and what you need the storage for.
