How to Choose the Right Size
Step 1: Inventory Your Items
Make a list of everything you plan to store, including furniture dimensions when possible.
Step 2: Consider Accessibility
Leave space for walkways if you'll need to access items regularly. Add 10-20% more space than your basic inventory requires.
Step 3: Think Long-Term
If you're likely to add more items over time, consider sizing up to accommodate future needs.
Step 4: Maximize Vertical Space
Stack boxes and use shelving units to make the most of your unit's height (typically 8 feet).
Packing Tips for Maximum Space
- Disassemble furniture when possible to save space
- Use uniform box sizes for easier stacking
- Label everything clearly for quick access
- Store heavy items on the bottom and lighter items on top
- Use shelving units to organize and create walkways
- Protect mattresses and upholstery with covers
- Place frequently needed items near the front
