How to Choose the Right Unit Size for You

If you are moving, renovating, or downsizing, self-storage can provide a safe and secure solution for storing your belongings. There are several steps you can take to help you select the right size storage unit.

1.       Make a list of everything you plan to store.

Be sure to include smaller items that can be packed into boxes, so you can estimate how many containers you will need. Don’t forget furniture or awkwardly shaped items that will not fit in a box.

2.       Estimate how many boxes you will need to store your belongings.

If possible, use moving boxes or sturdy plastic containers of a uniform size to store your belongings. This will not only make moving them easier, it will dramatically simplify the process of packing them into your storage unit.

3.       Measure your containers to determine how much space they take up.

Be careful to remember any items that will not be stored in boxes. Measure these as well to determine the total amount of space you need.

Having the right sized storage unit is a convenient way to store and access your belongings. Whether you need 36 or 1,600 cubic square feet of space, self-storage could be a solution for you. Visit this website to learn more about the storage facility and office storage unit in Santa Cruz.
