How To Choose The Right Size
Choosing the right size storage unit may seem like a difficult endeavor, but it can actually be quite simple if you account for two factors. As mentioned above, choosing the right size of storage unit is important. If you choose one that is too big, you are paying for more space than you need. If you choose one too small, you will be left with items out of storage, causing additional problems. Let’s look at the two key factors you should consider when choosing your storage unit size.
Inventory
Taking an inventory of your belongings is the first step to actually assessing the size of the storage unit you will need at any given time. Tracking how much you actually plan on storing in a storage unit and taking inventory and measurements of your belongings will give you a better idea of the size you need for storage. Factors to consider on inventory are dimensions, your ability to stack items on top of each other, and how items must be stored for long periods of time.
Access Needs
The needs of how you must access a storage unit may differ from someone else, so understanding your needs for access and how that specific unit can be accessed are vital to picking a unit the right size. Additionally, physically being able to access the storage with your items is key, so knowing the height parameter on the unit and storage space size is key to how you will access and store your belongings over time.
