Choosing the Right Storage Unit

Small decorations or boxes upon boxes, choosing a storage unit to keep your items safe is important. Not sure which is the right choice for you? Learn from our experts and use our online calculator to help determine the right size storage unit.

5-10 Boxes Plus The Tree

Small storage units, 5×5, 5×10, etc., are roughly the size of closets. This is ideal if your decorations are on the light side.

Decor for Indoors & Outdoors

If your decorating has expanded year after year, the middle of the road storage unit would be great. Anything from 76 – 150 square feet will hold all your items.

Lighting Up The Neighborhood

If your outdoor display is a popular display throughout the neighborhood, our large self storage options are best. Keep all the motorized yard ornaments in working order for next year with a storage unit this year.
