How to Choose the Right Storage Unit Size for Your Needs

When it comes to selecting the right storage unit, size matters. The right choice will ensure your items are stored safely and that you’re not paying for unused space. Hornet Self Storage offers a variety of unit sizes to suit different storage needs. Here's a guide to help you find the best fit.

1. Determine What You Need to Store

Start by making a list of all the items you plan to store, including furniture, boxes, and other belongings. This will help you estimate how much space you’ll need. Think about whether you have bulky items that require more room or smaller belongings that can be stored in boxes.

2. Consider the Storage Unit Sizes at Hornet Self Storage

Here’s a breakdown of the available unit sizes and what they typically accommodate:

• 5x5 Unit (25 sq. ft.): Suitable for small items like boxes, holiday decorations, and a few pieces of furniture.
• 5x10 Unit (50 sq. ft.): Can hold the contents of a small room, such as a mattress, small furniture, and boxes.
• 10x10 Unit (100 sq. ft.): Fits the contents of a one-bedroom apartment, including furniture and appliances.
• 10x15 Unit (150 sq. ft.): Perfect for a two-bedroom apartment’s worth of belongings.

• 10x30 Unit (300 sq. ft.): Offers maximum storage for large homes, vehicles, and equipment.

3. Plan for Future Storage Needs

If you anticipate needing more storage space in the future, consider renting a larger unit. This approach ensures you won’t have to move everything to a bigger unit later on, providing room for additional items and easy access.

4. Maximize the Use of Your Space

To make the most of your storage unit:

• Stack boxes vertically to utilize the unit’s height.
• Store larger items at the back and smaller items toward the front.
• Disassemble furniture if possible to save space.
• Label boxes clearly for easier access and organization.
