Are you planning on renting a self-storage unit and unsure of what size is right for your needs? Don’t worry, at Offerfair we are experts when it comes to determining the best size unit for any customer’s particular requirements. Whether you are looking for extra space for long- or short-term use, we can help you choose the perfect storage solution with our top tips:
- Identify what items you need to store and their size
It might sound obvious, but firstly identify what you need to store and their sizes. By measuring the size of the items you are looking to store, then you can calculate the amount of storage space you need. This will ensure that you are not paying for more space than you actually need, or worse, realising too late that some of your items will not fit!
- Consider how frequently you plan to access your unit
When it comes to deciding on the size of your storage unit, it is important to take into account how frequently you plan on accessing it. This is especially important if you are storing items you will need to retrieve on a regular basis. If you think you will be accessing items from your unit regularly, then it is worth investing in a larger unit size so that you can locate items quickly.
- Think about how much empty space you would like between items
You want to ensure that everything you need to store will fit comfortably into your unit, however it is also important to think about the amount of empty space you would like to have between your items. Allowing for small amounts of empty space between items, will make it easier for you to find items.
- Opt for flexible storage solutions
We recognise that people’s storage requirements can change at short notice, which is why customers can upgrade or downgrade their unit size if they discover they need more or less storage space.
