Sizing Up Storage Units
Posted on Fri, Sep 23, 2011
Self storage is a common necessity as people upgrade, downsize, attend college, get married and have children. Available space and the amount of personal belongings vary as your lifestyle changes. Rather than getting rid of items every time you run out of room, storage rental space can save you time and money in the long run.
When choosing a self storage facility, storage unit size will depend on where you are in your life’s journey. Make a list of the furniture you plan on storing, including other large items like exercise equipment and bicycles. Once you have finished packing boxes destined for storage, add the number of boxes and their approximate sizes (small, medium, large) to your furniture list.
Typically, storage buildings have standardized unit sizes ranging from locker size to large 10’ x 30’ rooms. There are a number of self storage calculator tools available online. Storage Post self storage provides example descriptions of how many, and what types, of items fit into its storage units.
Storage Post also offers an advanced size estimator that allows you to customize items that you have in your furniture and box inventory. As you add each item, the estimator generates storage unit size suggestions to fit your needs.
