Whether you’re planning to move, a home renovations, having an event for your non-profit organization or just need to store seasonal items, a movable storage container might be the solution you’ve been waiting for.

Choosing the right size though, is crucial. You don’t want to go too big and overspend, or too small and run out of space. Check out this easy guide and get the best unit for your needs.

How many items do you need to store?

This is probably the most important question you have to ask yourself. A good way to start is identifying the biggest items you’ll store and go from there. For example, if you need the unit for your business, consider how big is the equipment you’ll be storing.

If you’re moving, think of how many rooms do you have in your current place and how much furniture do you have in each one.

How much access do you need to your belongings?

This is very important as it will indicate how you are going to pack. If you know you won’t need to grab anything from the container until you unload, you can pack a smaller unit tightly. If on the other hand, you’ll need to take things in an out, you’ll want to have a big enough container to give you space to manouver.

Plan for the future

If you’re going through a renovation, think if in addition to your belongings, you might need extra space for materials or construction equipment. If that’s the case, it’s a good idea to get a larger unit from the get go than having to get an extra one later on.

I am so glad that we chose STORsquare for our move. Service was excellent! Adam was always available to answer questions, and they were flexible when coordinating dates for delivery, move to storage location, drop-off at new place, AND pick-up. Chris, the driver, was careful with the container during transportation. All our stuff arrived safely to our new place. Definitely recommend!

My experience with STORsquare was phenomenal from beginning to end. I researched several companies and found that they had the largest units for the best price. The customer service was outstanding. My representative explained the everything to me and followed up throughout the process. I highly recommend STORsquare Atlanta.

Everything was very easy. The delivery was timely and efficient. I asked to have it at a certain spot and Chris happily obliged. I am very happy with the unit and where it was placed.

It was a pleasure renting from Storsquare. Prompted in responding to my questions, and was so simple setting up delivery and pickup dates for the pod. Price was perfect for my pocket and so convenient to have the additional storage on property.
