    Storage Space Calculator

    How much space will I need? is a very common question but the reality is that every body has differing amounts of belongs to store, even if they are both in the same size properties.
    We have put together a quick guide to help you decide on the size of Storage Unit that will suit you.

    A Self Storage unit size is measured in square feet (a room 6 feet by 6 feet is 36 sqft). On average the height of these rooms/units are up to 8ft tall therefore a box measuring 1ft x 1ft x 1ft would fit into the 36 sqft room 288 times stacked 8 high.

    If you need to access your items whilst in store, you will have to pack them loosely in the storage unit, leaving space to move items about or even a walk way so allow for a bigger self storage room/unit. If not you can fill all of the available space in the self storage room.

    We are currently putting together a program to calculate how much space your belongs or items to store will use. In the meantime please have look at the quick guide we have put together below:

    Remember everybody has differing amounts:

    • 1 Bed Flat: 35-50 sqft
    • 2 Bed Flat: 50-80 sqft
    • 1 Bed House: 40-60 sqft
    • 2 Bed House: 60-100 sqft
    • 3 Bed House: 100-150 sqft
