Size Guide
Choosing the right storage unit does not have to be complicated. A storage size guide helps you visualize how much space you need, whether it is a few boxes of seasonal décor, the contents of a one-bedroom apartment, or an entire household with large furniture and appliances. From compact 5×5 units that work like walk-in closets to spacious 10×30 units that can hold vehicles and business inventory, understanding the options ensures you select a unit that fits your belongings without paying for unused space. Think of it as matching your lifestyle to the perfect storage solution.

Tips for Choosing the Right Size Storage Unit
When choosing the right size storage unit, think about how you can use the vertical space since most units are taller than they are wide, making stacking essential. Take time to measure your items so you have a realistic sense of how much volume you’re working with before you arrive. It also helps to plan for a little walk-around space inside the unit so you can move boxes and furniture without feeling cramped.
