What Size Storage Do I Need? | Louth Storage Unit Sizes
Wondering what size storage unit you need? Whether you’re storing a few boxes, clearing out the spare room, or packing away the contents of a 3-bedroom house, choosing the right space makes all the difference.
The best option depends on what you’re storing, how often you need access, and how much storage space fits your budget.
At Louth Self Storage, we offer a wide range of self storage unit sizes — from compact 16 sq ft lockers to spacious 150 sq ft rooms. Whether you need short-term or long-term storage, our size estimate guide will help you make the right choice.
How to Work Out What Storage Size You Need
Here are the steps to understand which unit gives you the ideal balance of space and value.
1. Make a List of Items
Start by taking an inventory of everything you intend to store. Organise these items by category — furniture, archive boxes, business stock, seasonal decorations, and so forth. This gives a clear picture of the volume you need.
2. Measure Your Belongings
If you want more accuracy, measure each item’s length and width to calculate its floor area. For a simpler method, group your belongings into small, medium and large boxes or items. This helps you estimate space needs without needing detailed measurements.
3. Consider Access and Extra Space
Will you need to access your items regularly? If so, it’s smart to choose a slightly larger unit to allow walking space or room to rearrange. A bigger unit costs more but offers comfort and convenience in the long run.
