It’s important that you work out what you need to put into storage before considering what size space you need
Steps to estimating self storage space required
-
- Take an inventory of the items you want to store: make a list of all the items you plan to store in the self-storage unit. Be sure to include everything from furniture to boxes and other miscellaneous items
- Categorise your items: by size, weight, and fragility. This will help you determine the type of storage unit you need
- Consider other factors: in addition to the size of the storage unit, consider other factors such as the height of the unit and whether you’ll need climate control to protect sensitive items
- Get advice from us: we can give you advice on the size of the unit you’ll need and answer any questions you may have
