How do you figure out which unit size is best for you? This guide will show you the most important things to think about, tips, and factors to help you make a good choice.

Understanding Your Storage Needs

To pick the right storage unit size at A-1 Self Storage in National City, you must first know what to store. Looking at your things, whether they are household items, office tools, or holiday decorations, can help you narrow down your choices.

  • Inventory Your Items: First, note everything you want to store in great depth. When inventorying your items, don't forget to include things like furniture, tools, and other big items, as well as smaller things like boxes and personal items. Think about how you'll organize your unit based on how often you need to get to certain things.
  • Measure Large Items: Measure the furniture or appliances you want to store to ensure they'll fit easily in the unit. This step will help you visualize how much room you'll need so you don't end up with too little.
  • Consider Future Needs: There may be times when you need to store more things. If you plan to store more things over time, consider getting a slightly bigger unit.

Unit Sizes Available at A-1 Self Storage in National City

A-1 Self Storage in National City has different units of different sizes to meet the needs of different customers who need to store things. If you know about these sizes, you can choose the right one for your collection.

  • Small Units (5x5, 5x10): These units can store a small amount of personal or office items. One 5x5 unit is about the size of a small walk-in closet and can hold many boxes, furniture, or holiday decorations. A 5x10 box has a little more room and is good for small furniture, bikes, and other household items.
  • Medium Units (10x10, 10x15): Medium-sized flats have more space for big things like sofas, mattresses, and boxes. A 10x10 unit is about the size of a bedroom and can fit everything you need for a one-bedroom rental. The 10x15 unit has even more space, which is great for keeping furniture, appliances, and extra boxes from a two-bedroom apartment.
  • Large Units (10x20, 10x25): If you need to store many things for a long time, are moving, or are remodeling, a big unit might be the best choice. A 10x20 unit is big enough to store the big furniture and tools from a three-bedroom house. The biggest choice is a 10x25 unit, which is great for businesses needing to store inventory or homes undergoing a big change.

Choosing the Right Unit Size for Specific Needs

It's important to ensure that the size of the storage unit you choose at A-1 Self Storage in National City fits your needs.

  • Personal Storage: A smaller or medium-sized unit might be enough for storing personal items like clothes, family keepsakes, or sports gear. A 5x10 or 10x10 unit is a good size for seasonal items, camping gear, and holiday decorations.
  • Business Storage: A larger unit like a 10x20 or 10x30 may be better for businesses that need more room for inventory, paperwork, or tools. If your business has big machines or a lot of stock that changes hands quickly, picking a unit with extra space can keep you from upgrading too soon.
  • Moving or Renovating: If you're moving or remodeling, consider everything in your home. A 10x15 or 10x20 room might be enough for a smaller home. Bigger homes, especially if you're keeping a lot of boxes, furniture, and appliances, may require a 10x25 unit.
  • Vehicle Storage: You can store your car at A-1 Self Storage in National City. When looking to store a car, boat, or RV, it's important to know your vehicle's size and pick a unit that fits it. If you want to ensure the safety and security of your car, it may be best to choose a large unit or storage space specifically designed for cars.

Tips for Maximizing Your Storage Space

It's important to make the most of your space at A-1 Self Storage in National City once you've picked the right unit size. Here are some tips to help you get your storage space in order and make the most of it:

  • Use Shelving: Adding shelves that stand alone to your storage unit can help you keep things in order and make the most of the room you have up high. This is a great way to store boxes or other small things you may need to get to often.
  • Pack Strategically: Put the bigger, heavier things at the bottom and the smaller ones on top. Stack the boxes neatly and clearly label them to find what you need quickly. If you want to save room when you store big furniture, take it apart.
  • Leave an Aisle: When you set up your unit, leave a small aisle down the middle so that you can easily access things in the back. This way, you won't have to take everything out of the box to get one thing.
  • Protect Your Belongings: Instead of wooden boxes, use plastic bins to protect your things from water or bugs. You can also protect your bigger things with blankets or chair covers.
