How to Choose the Right Storage Unit Size for Your Needs

When selecting the appropriate size for your storage unit, you will save yourself time and money. A unit that is too small will cause you to have to double handle your items, and in most cases, a unit that is too large will cause you to pay for space that you do not need.

We have many self storage unit sizes available at Lighthouse Self Storage; so whether you're moving into a new home, cleaning out your house, or just storing some seasonal items, we have the storage unit that fits your needs.

Why Does Storage Unit Size Matter?

The proper size of your storage unit protects your belongings, and allows you to easily manage your stored items. The right size self storage unit allows you to safely stack boxes, set furniture down without damaging the item, and still leaves you with enough room to easily get to the items that you need.

Many people use self-storage units for various reasons such as, during a move, when downsizing, or after completing a renovation. The right size self-storage unit allows you to avoid over-crowding your unit and to stay organized while storing your belongings.

Typical Storage Unit Options

Lighthouse Self Storage has several options of self storage unit sizes. Our self storage units come in small, medium, large, and x-large sizes. All of our self storage unit options are designed to meet different storage needs.

• Small self storage units are ideal for storing a few boxes or small household items. Most people use the small self storage unit to clean out a closet, store seasonal decorations, or to safely store a few excess items.
• Medium self storage units provide additional space to store more than what a small unit can hold. Medium self storage units can usually store the contents of a small bedroom or apartment. This size self storage unit is ideal for storing furniture pieces, mattresses, moving boxes and all other everyday household items.
• Large self storage units allow for ample space to store furniture and belongings from multiple rooms. Home owners commonly use the large self storage unit during moves, renovations, or temporary storage of household items due to a transition.
• X-large self storage units are intended for individuals who require significant storage space. They can store larger furniture sets, appliances, garage equipment, or business inventory. X-large self storage units are perfect for individuals who are storing the contents of a larger home, or requiring long term self storage.

Tips For Selecting The Right Self Storage Unit

To determine the ideal self storage unit size prior to renting a unit, create a simple list of the furniture, boxes, and other belongings you intend to store. This list will help you gauge how much space you'll need.

It's helpful to break down large furniture items, pack boxes carefully, and arrange the most-used items closest to the entrance of your self storage unit. These steps will help maintain an organized space, and allow you to quickly access the items you need.
