Calgary Car, RV & Self Storage Unit Sizes
Storage Unit Size
The big question. How much space do you need? Below you will find a general guide to assist you in making this decision. Sometimes it is better to be on the safe side and rent a slightly larger storage space. This would particularly hold true in cases where the facility was almost at capacity. In this case if you rented a unit that was too small, you may not be able to upgrade or rent additional space.
The following chart can be used as a general guideline.
