This depends on what you want to store. The best way to make a calculation is to pack everything up you intend to store and then measure how much space it takes up. However, if this is impractical then the following provides a helpful rough guide:
| Space required | Contents |
|---|---|
| Locker | Sports equipment (be careful on height with skis) 3 or 4 medium-sized boxes |
| 25 sq ft | 30 medium-sized boxes (packed closely) |
| 50 sq ft | 1x the contents of a Luton Box Van A studio flat’s contents |
| 75 sq ft | 2x the contents of a Luton Box Van A 2-bedroom home’s contents |
| 100 sq ft | Average size of a one-car garage A 3-bedroom home’s contents |
| 200 sq ft | Average size of a two-car garage A 4/5-bedroom home’s contents |
These figures are obviously approximate, as one person’s idea of what a home or a garage can contain may be quite different from another’s.
If you’re not accustomed to working things out in square feet than it may be hard to picture these sizes in your head. This diagram should help you visualise them.
A square foot is simply a square with sides that are all 1 foot in length. This is the same as 12 inches or 0.3 meters.
100 sq ft is therefore either 10 feet by 10 feet or 3 metres by 3 metres.
