What Size Storage Unit Do I Need?
Choosing a storage unit starts with understanding what you want to put inside it. A stack of boxes, a large sofa and dismantled furniture all use space differently, so an inventory is a useful first step.
At Viking Self Storage, our online size guide helps you compare the options. You can also contact the team to discuss your belongings and arrange a visit.
List the items that need the most space
Count your boxes approximately and note larger items such as beds, wardrobes, appliances and tables. Measure anything especially long or bulky, and take a photograph if it is difficult to describe.
Consider how you will use the room. If you will regularly collect stock or retrieve belongings, plan for access to those items when deciding on the layout.
Compare the options in person
Numbers on a screen can be difficult to picture. Seeing the floor space, doorway and height for yourself gives you a clearer basis for planning where your belongings will go.
Bring your inventory and measurements to the visit. The team can offer guidance, while your knowledge of your own possessions helps make that conversation useful.
Treat size comparisons as a starting point. Two households with the same number of bedrooms may have very different amounts of furniture.
Explore our online size guide, then call your local Viking Self Storage store if you would like to compare units in person.
