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.
