Tips for Choosing the Right-Sized Unit

When it comes to choosing the right-sized storage unit, there are a few things you need to take into consideration. Here are some tips to get you started:

1. Determine how much stuff you need to put in a storage unit.

This can be tricky, but a good rule of thumb is to estimate how many boxes you will need. You can also use online tools to help you estimate the size of your belongings. It may be helpful to make a list of everything you plan on storing in the storage unit.

2. Consider what type of items you’ll be storing.

Another thing to consider is the type of items you’ll be storing. If you’re planning on storing larger items, like furniture, you’ll need a bigger unit. If you’re just storing smaller items, like boxes of clothes or books, you can probably get away with a smaller unit.
