How Big is Big? A Question for San Diego Storage Renters

Every day, we receive calls and emails from prospective storage renters asking the same question: Just how big are your storage units? Given that our company is called Big Box Storage, it’s natural to assume they’re spacious, but how big is big?

We always provide exact exterior dimensions: each Big Box storage unit measures 8 feet long, 5 feet wide, and 7 feet tall. While these numbers are helpful, many customers still struggle to picture what that actually looks like in real-world terms. To clarify, we often explain that a single Big Box can typically hold the contents of a room and a half of furniture. However, this description can still leave some customers uncertain, since the size of a “room and a half” can vary widely from one person to another.

A Creative Solution: Visualizing Space While Giving Back

To make it easier for San Diego storage renters to grasp just how big is big, we’ve come up with a fun and meaningful solution, one that not only answers the question but also benefits local charities.

Starting next month, Big Box Storage will launch a quarterly “How Big is Big?” charity event. Each quarter, we’ll choose a specific item such as a household good or a non-perishable food item that can be donated to a San Diego charity. Then, we’ll load as many of that item as possible into a Big Box to demonstrate its full capacity.

One of the top contenders for our first event in March? Paper towel rolls. How many can fit inside a single Big Box? Hundreds? Thousands? Whatever the final count, this initiative will give renters a much clearer understanding of our storage units’ size.

A Win-Win for the Community

The best part? Once the Big Box is filled to the brim, we’ll deliver its entire contents to a San Diego charity in need. By combining a real-world size demonstration with a meaningful donation, we’re giving back to the community while helping customers make informed decisions about their storage needs.

So, whether you’re looking for a reliable storage solution or just curious about how big is big, stay tuned for updates on our upcoming “How Big is Big?” charity events. We can’t wait to see just how much we can fit and how much good we can do, one Big Box at a time!
