Arguably one of the largest stressors when choosing self-storage is deciding which size unit you need. You don’t want to pay extra for space you don’t need, but you also don’t want to run out of space – or have to upsize your unit on the day you move in because you realise it may be too small.

Our team at StorageWise understands this dilemma all too well, which is why we’ve got tips to calculate what size storage unit you need.

Measure your belongings 

By taking the measurements of your furniture and other large items, you can get a clearer idea of how much space you’ll need. This will help you choose the correct unit size and ensure everything will fit comfortably.

Create an inventory 

Making a list of all the items you plan to store, including their dimensions (height, width, and depth), will give you a better understanding of how much space you’ll need. This will also help you determine which unit size would be best and prioritise which items to store and which you can do without.

Consider future needs

It’s important to consider what you might need to store in the future; seasonal items, additional furniture, personal items or even your growing business inventory. By planning for future storage needs, you’ll be able to ensure that you choose a unit that can accommodate all of your items, both now and in the future.
