What Are You Storing?

Before you decide to rent storage space, begin by making a complete list of all the items you plan to store. This initial step is the most critical. Group items by size and fragility to get a clearer picture of the total volume. This will help prevent you from overestimating or underestimating your needs.

Visualizing the 5x5 and 5x10 Units

A 5x5 self storage unit is comparable to a small walk-in closet, perfect for seasonal items or boxes. Our popular 5x10 storage unit, on the other hand, offers double the space, comfortably holding the contents of a mid-sized bedroom, such as a queen-sized bed, a dresser, and several boxes.

Don't Forget About Access and Organization

Consider how you'll need to access your belongings. If you plan to visit frequently, you might want to opt for a slightly larger unit than you think you need. This extra space allows for shelving and a walkway, making it much easier to organize and retrieve items without having to empty the entire unit.

Think about your long-term plans. Are you likely to add more items over time? It’s often wiser to rent a unit with a little extra room for flexibility. With options like our 24 hour storage units, you can access your space whenever it suits you, ensuring your storage solution grows with your needs.
