Storage Unit Size
The big question. How much space do you need? Below you will find a general guide to assist you in making this decision. Sometimes it is better to be on the safe side and rent a slightly larger storage space. This would particularly hold true in cases where the facility was almost at capacity. In this case if you rented a unit that was too small, you may not be able to upgrade or rent additional space.
In any case, though, you should consult a couple of self storage providers to better assess your needs. They are usually very experienced at assessing customer's needs as they deal with this situation everyday. It is also a wise idea to visit a facility and view the unit sizes so that you have better idea of which size unit you will need. Keep in mind that the various facilities may offer different unit sizes. Always make sure that the unit you choose is capable of fitting your largest piece of furniture.
