5 Signs You Need a Bigger Storage Unit

Squeezing everything into a unit that's too small? Here's how to know it's time to size up.

Storage units aren't one-size-fits-all, and needs change over time. Here's how to tell if it's time to size up instead of fighting to make a smaller unit work.

1. You Can't Walk Into Your Unit Anymore

If you have to climb over boxes just to reach something in the back, that's the clearest sign your current size isn't cutting it.

2. You're Storing Things on Top of Things You Need

Stacking items you use semi-regularly underneath things you rarely touch means you're constantly unpacking and repacking just to get to what you need.

3. You've Started Storing Things at Home Instead

If your garage or spare room is filling back up with things that were supposed to be in storage, your unit is telling you it's full.

4. You Recently Added a Boat, RV, or Trailer

Vehicle storage takes real space. If you've added a boat or RV to the mix, a household-sized unit isn't going to cut it. Our Boat & RV Storage page covers sizing specifically for that.

5. You Dread Going to Your Unit

If getting something out of storage has become a chore instead of a quick errand, that's reason enough on its own.
