What fits in what size unit?
Estimating the amount of space you require is often the hardest part of storing your goods.
Sometimes you'll need to store goods of unusual sizes. If that's the case, why not give us a call? We'll be happy to help you find the size that's right for you. Don't forget, subject to availability, you can always change your unit size.
Cubic vs. Square Footage
Moving companies usually use cubic feet as their measurement of choice. Here's the basic formula: a 10 x 10 (W x L)* storage unit is 100 square feet of floor space (multiply the length times the width). All of our units have 8' high or 9’6” high ceilings, so multiply that by your square footage to come up with your cubic footage.
