How to Choose the Right Storage Unit in Des Plaines

Choosing the right storage unit starts with knowing what you need to store, how long you’ll keep it there, and how often you’ll want access. Make a list of your items and group them by size or frequency of use—this will help you determine what needs to be easily reachable and what can go in the back. Items like furniture, archived files, or inventory may require more space and thoughtful stacking or shelving. Use clear bins with labels to stay organized and leave a center aisle for easier access.

If you’re in an apartment or operating a small business, optimizing every inch counts. Choose a unit that fits your space needs without paying for extra room you won’t use. Safeguard’s team is here to help you find the best solution for your situation. Use our online size guide or speak with a local storage expert to make the most informed decision.
