Storage Unit Sizing Requirements
What size storage unit do you need?
This is without doubt the most frequently asked question we encounter at Drovers Self Storage. Most people don’t think in terms of volumetric or cubic quantities, so when they try to figure out how many square metres their belongings will occupy when stored, their brains go a little bit fuzzy.
That’s OK! You don’t need to know how it works! Here at Drovers Self Storage, we take all the confusion away and make it nice and simple for you.
