Tips for Choosing the Right Self Storage Unit Size

Whether you’re decluttering your Cranbourne home, preparing to move, or making space for your growing business, getting the right unit size is key to saving money and reducing stress.

Why Size Matters When It Comes to Self Storage

When it comes to self storage, bigger isn’t always better. Too much space can mean you’re paying for room you don’t need, while too little can leave you cramming things in and risking damage. The goal? Get a unit that fits your items just right, with a little room to move if you’ll need regular access.

Start by Taking Stock of What You’re Storing

Before picking a unit, it’s important to think about what exactly you’ll be putting into storage. Ask yourself questions like:

• Am I storing furniture, boxes, or both?
• Do I need space for a vehicle or large equipment?
• Will I need to access these items regularly?
• Are my belongings from a home, office, or both?

Once you’ve got a list, you’ll have a better sense of the space you’ll need.
