Why Tellus Self Storage Is the Right Choice In Louisiana
Finding the perfect storage unit requires more than just picking the first available space. To ensure your belongings are stored safely and conveniently, you need to consider factors like size, unit type, and location. Whether you're downsizing, moving, or just need extra space, here’s a comprehensive guide to help you make the right choice.
Size Assessment: Picking the Right Fit
One of the most important aspects of choosing a storage unit is selecting the right size. Renting a unit that's too small can lead to cramped, inefficient storage, while an oversized unit may be an unnecessary expense. Here are some common storage unit sizes and their typical uses:
- 5’ x 5’ (Small Closet): Ideal for storing seasonal decorations, personal documents, or a few boxes of miscellaneous items.
- 5’ x 10’ (Walk-in Closet): Great for storing small furniture, boxes, and sporting equipment.
- 10’ x 10’ (Half of a One-Car Garage): Suitable for the contents of a one-bedroom apartment, including appliances and furniture.
- 10’ x 15’ (Large Bedroom): Can hold the furnishings of a two-bedroom apartment, including large furniture and appliances.
- 10’ x 20’ (One-Car Garage): Perfect for storing an entire household’s belongings, including furniture, appliances, and even a small vehicle.
- 10’ x 30’ (Extra-Large Space): Suitable for business storage, large household moves, or vehicles.
When assessing your storage needs, make a list of items you plan to store, measure large pieces of furniture, and consider how frequently you'll need to access them. Stacking boxes and using shelving units can also help maximize space. Also, you can click here to use our storage calculator.

Location Considerations
Where your storage unit is located can significantly impact convenience and cost. Here are some factors to keep in mind:
- Proximity to Your Home or Business: If you need frequent access to your items, choose a facility close to your home or workplace.
- Accessibility: Check if the facility offers 24/7 access or has specific hours that align with your schedule.
- Security Features: Look for features such as gated access, DVR systems, and on-site management to ensure the safety of your belongings.
- Price Differences: Urban locations are more expensive than suburban or rural areas, so consider your budget when choosing a facility.
- Multiple Locations: Seventeen facilities are in Mississippi, ten in Louisiana, five in Alabama, three in Florida, and three in Texas.
