One of the most common questions people have when renting self storage is: What size storage unit do I need? Choosing the right unit size can save you money, reduce stress, and make accessing your belongings much easier. Renting a unit that’s too small leads to overcrowding, while renting one that’s too large means paying for unused space.
Understanding storage unit sizes and how to match them to your needs helps ensure a smooth and efficient storage experience.
If you’re unsure which unit size is right for you, TGI Storage Fort Morgan offers a variety of unit sizes and expert guidance. Call (970) 867-0321 to get help choosing the perfect fit.

Before choosing a unit, consider:
How many rooms you’re storing
Furniture size and quantity
Whether items can be stacked
If you’ll need access while in storage
Creating a simple inventory list helps determine the right size.
If you plan to access your items regularly, don’t pack the unit wall-to-wall. Leave a walkway and store frequently needed items near the front.
Proper spacing prevents damage and makes retrieval easier.
You may need a larger unit if:
You plan to add items later
You’re storing large furniture or appliances
You want extra space for organization
Sizing up slightly can prevent repacking later.
