Understanding Storage Unit Sizes

Knowing the available storage unit sizes is the first step to finding a solution tailored to your needs. Units come in various dimensions, each serving specific purposes. Here’s a storage unit size guide of the most common sizes (we offer many in between sizes also) to help you understand some of our most popular options:

Mini Units or “Itsy Bitsy” Units:

• 5×5 Units: Perfect for small items, seasonal decorations, or a few boxes. These are excellent for individuals with minimal storage space needs.
• 5×10 Units: Ideal for storing the contents of a small studio apartment, such as small furniture, mattresses, or a bike.
• 10×10 Units: xxx
• 10×10 Units: A go-to unit size for those looking to store the contents of a one-bedroom apartment, including appliances and multiple pieces of furniture.
• 10×15 Units: xxx
• 10×20 Units: Designed to hold the contents of a three-bedroom home or large equipment, these are great for families or businesses needing larger storage.

Getting the right storage unit starts with understanding the available storage types and size classifications along with how they fit your needs. This insight takes the guesswork out of the process, helping you avoid paying for unused space or juggling multiple units. Consider what you’re storing, how often you’ll need access, how you plan on using the space and if your storage needs might grow as planning ahead can make all the difference.

Choosing the Right Storage Unit

Selecting the right storage facility goes beyond price – your decision impacts how smoothly your storage experience unfolds. Here are some helpful tips for finding the right option for you:
