Assess your storage needs:
Take inventory of the amount of items you have and how many you need to
store. Count your boxes and create a list of all the items. Evaluate the
size, shape, and quantity of the items that you truly need to store. Use
this information to estimate the size of the storage unit you require.
Make a note of any larger or oddly shaped items. Also, consider if any
items require climate-controlled storage units.
Refer back to your inventory list. Will you primarily store boxes? Are
your items easily stackable? Do you have large furniture that needs to be
accommodated? Keep in mind that most storage units have a height of 8
feet. Therefore, when organizing your belongings, make use of vertical
space and stack items upwards.

Calculate the required space:
If you're still uncertain about the size you need, gather all your
belongings in one place and measure them using a tape measure. This will
help you accurately calculate the appropriate storage unit size, ensuring
that you don't end up with an incorrect size.
