Our Guide to Choosing the Perfect Storage Unit Size
Taking a Detailed Inventory of Your Belongings
Before deciding on a specific storage unit, the first step is to create a complete inventory. This practice helps us determine the sheer volume of items and also identifies anything fragile or requiring special care, like climate control. At Safeguard Mini Storage, we see this detailed list as your roadmap to maximizing efficiency. It prevents overspending on a unit that is too large, or stressing over one that is too small.
Thinking Vertically: Maximizing Your Cube Space
Many people only consider the floor space of their storage facility, but we encourage our customers to think up. We recommend stacking boxes securely and uniformly to utilize the full height of your unit. By stacking similar-sized containers, you maximize your square footage and ensure stability. This expert approach is key to organizing a smaller unit to hold significantly more than you might initially believe.
Planning for Accessibility and Essential Layout
Consider how often you will need to access items when choosing your final layout. We always advise setting aside a clear pathway and placing items you’ll need frequently at the front. It is also wise to label all your boxes clearly on several sides before moving in. A little planning now prevents having to completely unload your entire storage unit just to find one essential box later.
Recognizing When Climate Control is Necessary
The Corpus Christi climate demands attention, especially for temperature-sensitive items. If you are storing electronics, sensitive wooden furniture, or important documents, a climate-controlled storage unit is a must. This choice is an investment in preservation. We offer a variety of specialized options, including units for Boat and RV Storage, ensuring that whatever you need to protect is truly safeguarded.
