Calculating required size of container, pod or storage unit (in square footage) relative to square footage of a home, apt. or office.
FOR CONTAINERS AND PODS DIVIDE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE DWELLING BY 6.25
NOTE: this factor assumes that the container or pod is
8 ½’ wide and 8 ½’ tall
EXAMPLE:
2000 SQUARE FEET divided by 6.25 = 320.0 square feet
8 ½’ X 40’ container or pod = 340.0 square feet
Container/Pod Square Footage:
16’ x 8 ½’ = 136
18’ x 8 ½’ = 153
20’ x 8 ½’ = 170
26’ x 8 ½’ = 221
30’ x 8 ½’ = 255
40’ x 8 ½’ = 340
FOR STORAGE UNITS DIVIDE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE DWELLING BY 7.0
Storage Unit Standard Sizes:
10’ x 10’ = 100
10’ x 15’ = 150
10’ x 20’ = 200
10’ x 25’ = 250
12’ x 24’ = 288
Suggest the unit closest in size when calculated. 800 square foot apartment = 114 select 10’ x 10’ unit.
