When you’re picking a storage unit in Edmonton you most likely have a purpose in mind for it. Whether it’s long term storage, short term storage, storing seasonal items, or storing items you frequently use but don’t have space for at home or any other reasons, there is a storage unit that will be perfect for you. It’s important to put a little bit of thought into choosing your storage unit as picking a storage unit that doesn’t suit your purposes can be a frustrating mistake.
Here are a few things you should consider when you’re picking your self storage unit.
This needs to be the first thing you consider when you are choosing a storage unit. It’s something you can only really know when you know what you are planning to store. If it’s a few items that will be easy to pack down you will probably only need a small unit, however, if you’re planning on storing something larger like a vehicle then you’ll need a much larger unit. At Elite Self Storage in Edmonton we have storage units in several sizes:
We have two types of small storage units. The first is 5x5 which gives you 25 square feet of storage space to work with, perfect for smaller seasonal items, small pieces of furniture and equipment. The next is 5x10 which gives you 50 square feet, it’s ideal for storing larger furniture, bikes, mattresses, and seasonal items.
Our two medium units are 7.5x10 and 10x10. This next level of storage space gives you the ability to store around two rooms of furniture, larger appliances, a considerable amount of smaller items, and more.
Our large storage units start at 10x10 and give you 100 square feet of storage. This means you will be able to comfortably fit the contents of an average one bedroom apartment or a couple of rooms from a family home! If you’re moving and need somewhere to store your things then this size storage unit could be the perfect solution for you. The largest of our large units are 10x15 giving you a whole 150 square feet of storage space. You will be able to fit almost any large item here with ease.

Access can be a big deal when it comes to picking a self storage locker. Depending on your requirements for a storage locker you may need to give access some serious thought. At Elite, our indoor storage units feature a drive-in loading bay for an added ease of loading and unloading. This can make a big difference in colder months. We also offer access between 6am - 10pm 365 days a year, meaning you can access your stored items when you need to. Having a good idea about the kind of access you will be needing can help you to plan the kind of storage space you want.
Knowing what kind of storage you need is very important when it comes to choosing a storage unit. You may be looking for household storage to keep your personal items safe while you’re not using them. You could be looking to store a seasonal item or large piece of sporting equipment like a paddle board or you may even be looking for storage solutions for your business. Having in mind what you will be using a storage unit rental for can help you to choose the right one for your purposes.
Security needs to be a big consideration when you pick a self storage unit. After all, it’s where you’ll be leaving your belongings for extended periods, so you want to have confidence that they’re being safely looked after. At Elite Self Storage we have a fenced and gated storage facility with individual coded access and video surveillance.
The final thing to consider is how easy is it to use the storage unit you are choosing? Finding a storage unit that suits your purposes but is hard to move into, extend your rental period, or make payments can be frustrating. With Elite Self Storage you can manage your booking online, meaning that you can book your unit, move in, and extend your reservation once you’re moved in from the comfort of your home!
