Tips On Finding Storage In New York

People choose to store their stuff away for a variety of reasons. Maybe you are moving from an old home to a new one. Perhaps your existing space is not big enough to accommodate some of your household treasures. Regardless of what you need to store, and for how long, here are some things you might want to address first.

This may seem fairly obvious, but do you really need all of the things that you are planning to put into storage. How often do you use this cherished object? Would you miss it if it mysteriously disappeared? You get the idea. So, if you can't remember the last time you used something, it may be advisable to get rid of it.

Now that you have eliminated some unnecessary things, you have to figure out what you will be storing. As you'd expect, special items do require special storage conditions. So you don't want to be storing a car, a boat, wine or even special papers in the same place. You may want to inquire about climate controlled storage facilities for some of your items, and it's important to segregate these items before you begin to make storage decisions.

A big question on everyone's mind is how to figure out the size of the storage unit you will need. Most storage facilities offer fairly standardized units and many have moveable walls so the unit you select can accommodate what you have. Here's a sample chart of what you might need. The dimensions are in Length, Width and Height.

  • 5x5x10 - Small items
  • 5x10x10 - Small one bedroom apartment
  • 10x10x10 - Small one bedroom home
