1. Self-Storage Unit Sizes - How Much Space Do You Need?
When it comes to self-storage units, size doesn't just matter - it's
everything. You don't want to pay more for a storage space that will
only sit half full when you can pay less for a smaller self-storage
unit with all its space maximized.

size and knowing how to
manage the space you have to
let you fit all the things you
need to put in storage. Not to
worry though, there are a lot of
self-storage unit sizes to choose
from and almost all will provide
you with enough space to store
your things. The sizes also
increase in just the right
increments so that you never
have too much or too little
space; of which every square
inch ought to be worth every
cent you spend for it.

3. ● Basically, self-storage
unit sizes range from
the smallest at 5 ft. x 5
ft. or 25 square feet,
which is roughly the
size of a hall closet or
half a bathroom to a 10
ft. x 30 ft. or 300 square
foot deluxe garage size
that can probably house
one car comfortably
with lots more room to
spare.

4. ● To give you a better of idea of
the choices that are available to
you, here are the standard sizes
that are available at most self-
storage unit provider
companies, together with a brief
description of what items or
furnishings, and how many, will
fit into each given size.
● Each description should give
you an idea of how much space
you need. Just think about what
that you want to put into storage
and see which unit size will be
able to accommodate your
things.

5. ● 5 x 5 - at 25 square feet, this smallest
of self-storage unit choices will give
you just enough room to put in
small furniture like a chest of
drawers, small boxes, a small
mattress set and some other small
items.
●
● • 5 x 10 - this is roughly the size of a
walk-in closet and will allow you to
store a couch, chairs, a chest of
drawers, mattress set, some yard
equipment and other small items.

5 x 15 or 8 x 20 - this unit size is roughly 75-80 square feet and
is similar to that of a small bedroom or a hallway. It will store
most furniture from a one-bedroom apartment, including a
refrigerator, washer and dryer, as well as some other small
furniture and miscellaneous items.
• 10 x 10 - this is the average size of a regular bedroom and can
fit most furnishings from a one or two-bedroom apartment
including patio furniture as well as most appliances.

10 x 15 - at 150 square feet, this is about
the size of a large bedroom and will hold
a two-bedroom apartment or a small
house's furnishings including most
appliances.
• 10 x 20 - at this size, a lot of things can
already be stored, with some extra room
to spare. About the same area as a one-
car garage, the 10 x 20 ft. self-storage
unit can accommodate the furnishings of
a two or three-bedroom apartment or
house.

8. 10 x 25 - this 250 square foot space is the
same size as a standard one-car garage and
can probably fit just that - a car, even a pick-
up or a boat. If not, it can comfortably
accommodate all the furnishings including
major appliances of a three or four-bedroom
house or apartment.
• 10 x 30 - by far the largest space and the
biggest self-storage choice you can avail of,
the 300 square foot unit is as big as an
extra-large one-car garage and can house
either one vehicle such as a car, truck or
boat; or all the furnishings, appliances and
other major and minor items of a four or five-
bedroom house.
