Self-Storage Phoenix: Quick Tips for Determining Storage Needs

Whether you’re moving to a new city, packing things away for the season change, or moving into a smaller home, a Phoenix storage unit can help you to make it happen. Before you rent a self-storage unit, though, it is important that you understand which size storage unit you’ll need. Here are some quick tips for helping you make the right decision:

Know What You Have

The first thing that you need to think about when picking a storage unit is how much you need to store in storage. For example, you can narrow it down to a (relatively) small unit if you only have a handful of items, or a (relatively) big unit if you need to move your whole house.

Know What Different Sized Storage Units Can Hold

The second thing that you need to figure out is how much different sized storage units are capable of holding. For example, small, 5’x5’ units are typically described as being the size of a closet or small bathroom, and therefore can typically only hold a few boxes. On the other hand, large units, such as 10’x30’ units, are often able to store multiple pieces of furniture, boxes, and more - in fact, these units are often described as being able to fit the contents of an entire home.

Know Whether or Not You’ll Need to Add More

One mistake that many people make when choosing a storage unit is choosing a unit that fits their needs that day . However, thinking about the future is important, too; if you purchase a storage unit that is too small now, you may not have enough room for additional personal items in the future.

Know Your Budget

Sometimes, what size unit you’ll be getting is dependent upon your budget. If you don’t have a large enough budget to afford the self-storage unit that you want, you may be forced to get rid of some of your personal items or increase your budget. Setting a budget upfront is often recommended, and can help you to narrow down your options.

Know Other Important Storage Facility Amenities

At this point, you should have a pretty good idea of whether or not you want a personal storage unit that is large or small. If you are debating between two sizes, though, such as a 10’x15’ or a 10’x20’, you may be able to clear up the debate by considering other facility amenities. For example, not all units may offer the same benefits, such as drive up access, climate control, or security.
