How to Pick the Right Size (and Make It Work for You)
Finding the right storage unit doesn’t have to be complicated. A little planning goes a long way. Here are a few quick tips to make sure everything fits comfortably and you’re not paying for more space than you need.
List It Out: Start by making a quick inventory of everything you plan to store. This will help you get a clearer idea of how much space you'll need.
Access Matters: Put the things you’ll need more often near the front. Leave some room to move around—it’s a small detail, but it makes a big difference when you need to grab something later.
Stack It Up: With 8-foot ceilings, there’s plenty of room to stack boxes or use shelving to maximize your space. The more you go vertical, the more room you save!
