Storage Unit Size Guide: A Brief Overview

Every one of our storage facilities offers a variety of storage types in a number of different sizes. Use the following information as a rough estimation of exactly how much can fit in each unit:

5x5 Unit (25 sq. ft.): Roughly the size of a home closet. Ideal for storing extra items such as boxes, twin-size mattresses, books, records/files, and other small miscellaneous items.
5x10 Unit (50 sq. ft.): Ideal for storing the contents of a studio apartment, including a number of boxes, kitchen appliances, small mattress set, chairs, or even a motorcycle.
10x5 Unit (50 sq. ft.): Identical to a 5x10 unit just with a wider door and shallower storage-depth. Tends to make accessing your items slightly easier than a 5x10.
5x15 Unit (75 sq. ft.): Great for storing the contents of a 1 bedroom apartment. Ideal for furniture including a couch, chair and small dining set, sporting equipment, bicycles, business merchandise, seasonal items, and sporting equipment.
10x10 Unit (100 sq. ft.): Ideal for storing the contents of a 2 bedroom space. Perfect for holding an entertainment center, king-size mattresses, larger appliances, dining room, furniture, and other various items you'd find in a 2 bedroom space.
10x15 Unit (150 sq. ft.): Perfect for holding the contents of a 3 bedroom space. Great for storing large screen t.v.'s, bikes and other sporting equipment, large furniture, full dinning room set, or even music equipment like a C-3 piano, drum set, or all the equipment needed for a several-month long tour.
10x20 Unit (200 sq. ft.): Now we're getting to sizes ideal for cars, boats, and other vehicles. A 10x20 unit is ideal for a small car with some extra room to spare or a 3 to 4 bedroom set. Fill remaining space with sports equipment, small furniture set, boxes, or other small to medium personal items.
10x25 Unit (250 sq. ft.): Great for storing a small boat with a trailer with some room to spare. Fill the rest of your space with a couch, small chairs, small bedroom furniture set, and other miscellaneous items.
