Pro Tip: When in Doubt, Go Bigger

Tips for Choosing the Right Size

Make an Inventory

List all items you plan to store. Group by size (large furniture, boxes, oddly-shaped items).

Consider Access Needs

If you'll access items frequently, leave room for aisles. Stack strategically with frequently-needed items in front.

Think Vertically

Our units have high ceilings. Use shelving and stack boxes to maximize vertical space.

Plan for the Future

If you might add items later, consider going one size up. It's easier than moving to a larger unit.
