To save space, store large furniture on its side. For example, store couches and tables on their ends (don't do this with sofa beds, however). Remove the legs from the tables for easier storage. Just place cardboard or a blanket on the floor to protect your furniture, and use furniture covers, too.

If you are considering renting a self-storage unit but are unsure of which size is best for your items, ask a storage professional. He or she can recommend the best size for you based on the types and number of items you need to store.

When determining how much storage space you need for your things, one thing to keep in mind is whether you need to access your items regularly. If so, you should probably get a larger storage unit for easier access.

What size self storage unit do you need? A 10 x 15 foot unit is about the size of a mid-sized moving truck. You should be able to store a car, small boat, yard care or workshop equipment, or building materials and supplies.

Modern self-storage involves a tenant renting a space that no one else has access to. This concept was unheard of until Lauderdale Storage opened in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1958. It set a new precedent that remains the norm to this day.
