What Fits in Your 8ft x 8ft Container?

At Yolk Storage, we understand that visualising storage space can be challenging. Our 8ft x 8ft containers offer 64 square feet of floor space with a generous 7’10” height, creating a versatile storage solution perfect for various needs.

• Contents of a studio flat or small 1-bedroom apartment
• University students between accommodations
• Seasonal item storage (holiday decorations, garden furniture)

Our compact unit comfortably accommodates essential furniture from a small living space:

Three-seater sofa – 6’5″ x 3′

Boxing Clever

Efficiently packed, your 8ft x 8ft unit can hold approximately 40-50 medium-sized boxes when utilising the full height of the container. This calculation accounts for proper stacking and necessary access paths.

Additional Items

Electronics
Television (up to 55″), small appliances, desktop computer

Soft Furnishings
Bedding, cushions, curtains, rugs (in vacuum bags where possible)

Miscellaneous
Several suitcases, lamps, pictures, mirrors, small kitchen appliances

Space-Saving Tips

• Disassemble furniture where possible to maximise available space
• Place larger items like beds and sofas along the back wall
• Stack boxes safely to utilise vertical space (heaviest at bottom)
• Use vacuum storage bags for clothing and linens
• Consider drawer units as additional box storage

Visualise Your Space

Think of your 8ft x 8ft container as a small bedroom. The floor space matches a typical box room in a UK home, but with more efficient vertical storage opportunities.
