It can be hard to figure out how much food to order for a group, just like it can be hard to pick the proper size mini storage unit at Brilliant Storage Limited. If you get one that’s too tiny, you’ll be short on space; if you get one that’s too huge, you’ll be paying for space you don’t need. The key is to prepare ahead and be honest about what you are really storing.
After you make your list, put the things into groups like boxes, furniture, gadgets, clothes, and so on. A locker-sized unit (say 5×5 feet) can be plenty if you only need to store a few things that aren’t in season or tiny cartons. You will generally need something between 5×10 and 10×10 if you are moving out of a studio or one-bedroom apartment. If you have a lot of furniture, appliances, or business products, you might require 10×15 or even 10×20.
Stacking can help you, but you need to plan ahead. Put heavy things on the bottom and fragile things on top. If you think you’ll need to get to things regularly, leave walkways or at least enough space to move around securely. When you need a winter coat or a folder of papers, nothing is worse than having to sift through a wall of boxes.
Think about the future as well. Choose a unit with some extra space if you expect to add more products. This could be because your internet business inventory will grow or your family will send you some surprise boxes. It’s better than having to constantly pack and unpack.
Still not sure? Go to the storage facility in person. It’s a big difference to see the units in person, and the staff can give you good recommendations based on what they’ve seen. They’ve seen it all, from shoe boxes that are too full to families trying to shoehorn a couch into a broom closet.
In the end, “just right” means easy access, room to grow if needed, and no money wasted. You will find the right fit if you plan ahead and are honest with yourself.
