How to Find the Right Storage Unit Size

The right size starts with your items, not the unit itself. A few minutes of planning can keep you from paying for empty space or making a second trip because the first load did not fit.

1. List What You Need to Store

Walk through your home with a notepad. Group items by type, such as furniture, boxes, appliances, sports gear, and holiday décor. Count your boxes, and include anything you may bring later, since storage needs often grow over time. Writing a rough count next to each group makes it much easier to add up your total later.

2. Measure the Largest Pieces

Measure the length of your sofa, the height of a dresser, and the width of a refrigerator. Check the doorways at your current home too, so the biggest items do not get stuck on move-in day. Mattresses and tall bookcases are usually the first items to test against a unit’s width and height. If a piece can be taken apart, such as a bed frame or a table with removable legs, measure the pieces separately, since they often take up less room that way.

3. Visit Our Storage Unit Size Calculator

Once you have a rough list compiled, compare it to the chart below, and use our free online storage calculator to determine the right storage unit size to hold your load. Unit sizes are approximate, and it helps to leave some open floor space so you can reach items without moving everything. If you are torn between two sizes, contact our office and we can help you find the right size unit.
