How to Estimate the Right Unit Size
Here are a few tips when deciding:
- Take inventory: List everything you plan to store.
- Stack smart: If you’re using boxes, consider vertical stacking and shelving.
- Plan for access: Leave a walking path or front zone for items you’ll need more often.
- Think ahead: Are you planning to add more items in the future? Go up a size now to avoid moving everything again later.
Climate-Controlled vs. Non-Climate-Controlled Units
Storage size isn’t the only factor. If you’re storing temperature-sensitive items like electronics, musical instruments, or photos, climate-controlled storage protects against Mobile’s heat and humidity.
