Are you running out of space at home or in the office? Whether you’re moving, downsizing, or just need extra room for your belongings, finding the right self-storage unit is essential. At Storage Kings, we provide secure, convenient, and affordable storage solutions to meet your needs.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through key factors to consider when selecting a storage unit.
1. Determine the Right Storage Unit Size
One of the first things to consider is the size of the unit you need. Here’s a general guide:
- Small (5×5 or 5×10 feet) – Ideal for seasonal items, boxes, and small furniture.
- Medium (10×10 or 10×15 feet) – Suitable for the contents of a one-bedroom apartment.
- Large (10×20 or larger) – Perfect for storing household furniture or business inventory.
If you’re unsure, our Storage Kings size guide can help you visualize what fits best!
2. Climate-Controlled vs. Standard Storage
Depending on what you’re storing, climate-controlled units might be necessary. These units help protect sensitive items from extreme temperatures and humidity, such as:
✔️ Wooden furniture
✔️ Electronics
✔️ Important documents
✔️ Artwork & collectibles
If your items are not sensitive to temperature changes, a standard unit may be the more cost-effective option.
3. Security Features Matter
Your belongings deserve top-tier protection. At Storage Kings, we offer:
- 24/7 video surveillance
- Gated access with personal codes
- On-site staff for added security
- Individually alarmed units (available at select locations)
Always check the security features of any storage facility before making a decision.
4. Location & Accessibility
Choosing a storage facility close to your home or business can save you time and hassle. Additionally, consider:
✔️ Access hours – Do you need 24/7 access?
✔️ Drive-up vs. indoor units – Drive-up units offer easy loading, while indoor units provide extra protection.
✔️ Loading assistance – Does the facility provide carts or dollies for convenience?
Storage Kings offers multiple locations with flexible access hours to accommodate your needs.
5. Pricing & Rental Terms
Before signing a lease, compare prices and rental terms. Consider:
- Month-to-month leases for flexibility
- Discounts for long-term storage
- Hidden fees (administration fees, insurance, etc.)
At Storage Kings, we offer competitive rates and special promotions to help you save money.
