For the love of storage pods
For example, if you plan to pack the unit, leave everything in it for a period of time, then unpack the entire unit and bring all the objects home, you will need only the space taken up by your belongings themselves. However, if you plan to use the unit as long term storage and visit periodically to take out boxes and put new objects in, you will need extra space for aisles. You may even need garage shelving, both to make finding objects easier and to prevent delicate boxes from being crushed in the stacks. Choosing the right amount of climate control is also necessary. Many common belongings, like dishes, cooking utensils, and rugs that are not antiques, stone furniture, and most glassware, can withstand most ranges of temperature and do not need temperature control.
