Self-storage units are a convenient solution to store belongings when you're in the process of moving, renovating, or simply decluttering your home.

When choosing a unit of this size, it's essential to consider the height of the unit. Make sure you measure the height of your largest items to ensure they will fit inside the unit. Also, consider organizing your items vertically using shelves or stacking boxes to maximize space.

Example 2: 9x10 Climate-Controlled Unit

When choosing a unit of this size, consider the fragility of your items and whether they need climate-controlled storage.

You may also want to use shelves or other storage solutions to maximize vertical space.
