Whether you’re downsizing, decluttering, moving, or just need extra space for your growing business, having a reliable place to keep your belongings safe and sound can bring you some serious peace of mind. And when you're in Georgia, there’s one more thing to consider when looking for self-storage in Atlanta: the weather.
Hot, humid summers and unpredictable seasonal shifts can do a number on your belongings if they’re sensitive to temperature or moisture. That’s why finding a quality self-storage facility with the right features (hello, climate-controlled storage!) is one of the best ways to protect your belongings and make sure they're just as you left them when you’re ready to pick them back up.
Figuring out your self-storage needs
Choosing the best self-storage facility begins with a clear understanding of what you need to store and for how long, then finding a location that's conveniently close to home.
- What are you storing?
Think about what you want to put into your storage unit. The items you plan to store will determine your needs in terms of the size and type of storage unit required.
- Do you need climate control?
If you’re storing vintage furniture, electronics, artwork, or any other items sensitive to heat or humidity, then climate-controlled storage is a must. Climate-controlled units are kept at a stable temperature year-round to help protect your items from warping, cracking, or mold caused by extreme Georgia heat or humidity. On the flip side, if you’re storing something like lawn tools or holiday decorations, a standard drive up storage unit will probably do the trick.
- Short-term or long-term storage?
Whether you need a storage unit for a couple of weeks or a few years, it’s worth thinking about how long you plan to store your items. With flexible month-to-month leases, Mini Mall Storage makes it easy to adjust as your plans change. No long-term commitments required.
- Location and access
You’ll also want to consider the location. Look for a self-storage facility that’s close to home or work and easy to get to—especially if you plan to visit regularly. We have several convenient Atlanta-area storage facilities and offer extended access, so you can get to your goods when it works for you. Plus, with drive-up access available for select storage units, you won’t have to worry about hauling boxes across a parking lot or up a flight of stairs.
Choosing the right size self-storage unit

One of the most important storage decisions you’ll have to make is what size storage unit you need. Too big, and you’ll end up paying for space you don’t use. Too small, and you might find yourself playing storage Tetris.
Luckily, we’ve made it easy. Use our storage unit size guide to visualize how much each storage unit can hold. Here’s a quick cheat sheet:
- a 5x5 storage unit is the size of a standard closet
- a 5x10 storage unit is the size of a walk-in closet
- a 10x10 storage unit is the size of a small bedroom
- a 10x15 storage unit is the size of a standard bedroom
- a 10x20 storage unit is the size of a small one-car garage
- a 10x30 storage unit is the size of a spacious one-car garage
