“What size storage unit do I need?”

Choosing the wrong size can lead to frustration—or paying for more space than you use. At EZ Access Storage, we’re here to make storage easy and stress-free, starting with helping you find the right fit.

Tips for Choosing the Right Storage Unit Size

Let’s break it down by size category and what you can realistically fit inside each one:

  • Stack smart: If you’re storing boxes or furniture that can stack, you may need less space.

  • Access needs: Leave walking space if you’ll need to get to things frequently.

  • Measure your biggest item: Then add buffer room—especially for furniture or vehicles.

  • Ask your storage facility: We’re happy to help you visualize what fits in each unit.
