What size storage unit do I need?

Open storage unitThe size of storage unit needed depends upon the individual or business, and how often access is required. Access at American E-Z Self Storage is free and unlimited during our extensive opening hours.

If you require access to your goods on a regular basis, it is advised that you obtain a storage unit large enough to create small aisles for easy access. However, if the goods that will be stored do not require regular access, then a smaller storage unit with the goods stacked carefully and using the same size boxes or shelving will fit the bill.

The following is an estimate* of the storage unit size you may require:
(* general guidelines only)

1 bedroom house/flat 50-65 square feet
2 bedroom house/flat 70-80 square feet
3 bedroom house/flat 85-125 square feet
4 bedroom house/flat 150-200 square feet

On average, the contents of a Transit van will be equivalent to 50 square feet*, and the contents of a Luton van will be equivalent to 75 square feet*.

Should you have any questions regarding the storage unit size you may need, please feel free to ask our staff. We will be more than happy to assist you.

We believe in providing quality service to our customers. That is why we have set our rental periods at only 7 days. This way, should your storage needs change, you have the flexibility at American E-Z Self Storage to obtain larger or smaller storage units when you need them.
