Size Matters: Choosing the Right Storage Unit

Assess unit size based on item quantity and dimensions. Collegian Movers Storage offers a variety of accommodations to comfortably store your belongings. Our storage units are 7x7x5 and accommodate 180 cubic feet. A 180 cubic foot storage unit roughly the size of a two-bedroom apartment or house, including appliances, boxes, and miscellaneous items or inventory from a commercial business inventory.

The Storage Units can fit a variety of items, including:

• Furniture: A narrow piece of furniture, such as a chest of drawers, is approximately 30 cubic feet.
• Appliances: Most major appliances found in an average home, such as a dryer, stove, or dishwasher, are approximately 25 cubic feet.
• Outdoor items: A barbecue, portable grill, or lawn mower is approximately 10-20 cubic feet.
• Other items, small, medium, and large boxes, are approximately 2,3 and 5 cubic feet.

Security Measures for Peace of Mind

Prioritize valuables’ safety. Collegian Movers Storage implements robust security measures, including surveillance and access control.

Climate Control Considerations

Protect sensitive items. Inquire about climate control capabilities. Extra items that may benefit from climate-controlled storage are those sensitive to temperature and humidity fluctuations. Here’s a list:

1. Electronics: To avoid damage from extreme temperatures.
2. Artwork and Photographs: To prevent warping, discoloration, or mold.
3. Musical Instruments: Especially delicate items like pianos or guitars.
4. Vinyl Records: Extreme temperatures can warp records.
5. Wine: For maintaining optimal aging conditions.
6. Important Documents: To prevent yellowing, fading, or deterioration.
7. Collectibles: Such as stamps, comic books, or rare books.
8. Medical Supplies: Some medications or equipment may require climate control.
9. Appliances: Particularly those with electronic components.
10. Photographic Film and Equipment: To prevent deterioration.

Remember, the need for climate-controlled storage can vary based on the specific item and the climate of your storage location. It’s always advisable to assess the unique requirements of your belongings before choosing storage options.

Accessibility and Convenience

Consider location for easy access. Collegian Movers Storage strategically locates facilities for hassle-free retrieval or storage experiences.
