Choosing the right storage unit size is the first step in making sure you only pay for the space you need. At Elite Self Storage, we make it simple with our easy-to-follow storage size guide.
Take Inventory of Your Belongings
Make a detailed list of everything you plan to store. Boxes, furniture, appliances, and seasonal items all take up different amounts of space, so having a checklist will help you estimate the right storage unit size.
Think About How Long You’ll Need Storage
If you’re renting a storage unit short-term, a smaller space may be enough. But for long-term storage, or if you know you’ll be adding items over time, it’s smarter to choose a slightly larger unit. This way, you won’t run out of space.
Consider What You’re Storing
Boxes and bins stack easily, making smaller units a practical choice.
Large furniture, appliances, or odd-shaped items take up more space and may need a larger unit.
Vehicles or bulky recreational gear will require a drive-up or oversized unit.
Once you know what you’re storing, our storage unit size guide will help you estimate the perfect fit. From small 3x4.5 lockers for seasonal items to large 10x30 drive-up units for furniture or vehicles, we have options for every situation.
And don’t worry — if you rent a storage unit and realize you need more or less space, we’ll help you adjust your storage rental quickly and hassle-free.
