King Arthur Self Storage takes an active part in the community by helping to sponsor Draper Days a local city festival held in Draper, Utah. We also help support our local police department by allowing them free storage of some of their equipment in our storage facility. Also from time to time we allow local police departments to train their dogs in our facility. This serves a dual purpose; it helps the police practice their dogs in different locations and it helps us keep our facility clean from any criminal activity.

1. Ideas To Estimate The Storage Size
Needed
Many people say that making the decision to switch over
to self storage is a tough one. What many people do not
know is that deciding on the size of the storage to rent is
the real difficult part. In self storage, you pay according to
the size of your storage. Too small and you do not have
room for future needs. Too big a storage space will
cause you to pay unnecessary money to the
company. Here are some tips for you on how to
estimate the storage size you really need.

3. 1. First and foremost, you need to list down
exactly the things you wish to store in the unit.
Only by listing them down will you be able to decide on their
storage method. After the tedious planning process, you
should start to think of how to store them. Self storage is not
about chucking items in the unit. You need to maximise the
space and have an efficient usage of the entire place. It is
always good to store things of the same kind together and use
boxes to keep things neat and tidy. You can always stack boxes all
the way to the ceiling to further maximise space. By knowing how
many boxes you need and the dimension of each box, you are able
to make a rough guide of the storage size required.

5. 2. You will also need to factor in extra space for
fragile items. While you can stack boxes
containing normal items on top of each other, you
definitely will not do that for fragile items such as
your precious antique vase. Sufficient walking
space is also needed to prevent accidental knocks
against the fragile things.

7. 3. If you are intending to store large items such as
an old mattress, wardrobe or even automobiles,
you need to know their dimensions after protective
packaging is applied onto them. If possible, always try to
dismantle your items to not only keep things as small as
possible, you also help to prevent accidental damages or
even environmental degradation. You can easily free up
around 60% of space if you knock down your furniture
prior to storage instead of placing the entire piece inside.
Also, the uneven design and edges will lead to a poor
usage of space.

9. Self storage units come in various sizes catering
to different needs of their customers. By using
logic and tools to help you gauge on the storage
size you need, you can not only save money but
also free up space for others who need them
more than you do.
