In asking the question, “What can be fitted into a Greenbox”, the answer is, “Way more than most people think.” This is where the value of the size of the Greenbox is so apparent, as inside them there is a huge 2.18 meters high x 2.175m long x 1.75m wide of usable space. In moving terms, that is a volume of 8.3m3 (cubic meters) inside, which means most sofas easily fit, along with large items like king beds, double door fridges and pianos.

 

In talking about what is a typical load for one of these extremely useful portable storage systems, at Greenbox they explain it depends on what we are using it for. For example, a Greenbox can typically hold one Queen bed or slat bed, two bedside tables, one tallboy, one sofa, one fridge, one washing machine and dryer, one dining table and a coffee table, a bookcase, a vacuum cleaner, stereo, TV and stand, BBQ (but not the gas bottle), four cartons of clothes or similar items, six cartons of kitchen implements and plates etc., five cartons of books and, last but not least, golf bag and clubs.

 

Greenbox very conveniently have an online Volume Calculator on their website at http://www.greenbox.co.nz which is a simple sheet that can be completed online, to work out how many cubic meters (m3) you have. Remember - the inside usable volume of a Greenbox is 8.4 m3. Just select 'Enable Editing' along the top and then click 'read only'.

 

As the Greenbox team say it is a great idea to create an inventory of what you are storing in your Greenbox to help you remember what you have safely secured away. This can also be submitted to your insurance company to get an extension address on your policy. This Greenbox facility is approved by all the major insurance companies and they usually offer this extension free of charge. For more information about self storage, please visit the website.
