Common Size of Self Storage Units
1. 5x5x10
Think of this type of storage unit like an extra closet.

2. 10x5x10
This storage unit has enough space to handle the amount of furniture and belongings typical for a single bedroom or studio apartment. Unlike the smaller 5×5 unit, occupants of the 10×5 unit will be able to fit items like a couch or a kitchen table in their storage space.
3. 10x10x10
This sized storage unit is one of the most popular choices found at our facility. Customers prefer the extra flexibility they can get when packing a wide range of items into the 10×10 storage unit.

4. 10×15
This large-sized storage unit is ideal for storing the entire contents of a small home, or a 2 bedroom condo. People who find themselves frequently travelling for work can make use of these types of storage units if while they are living abroad. A unit this size can also accommodate a small car or a boat if necessary.
5. 10×20
Now we are getting into some serious square footage for storage. A unit this size can easily handle the contents of a large, four-bedroom home. For the most part this type of storage space is only required by families who need a safe place to keep their belongings that also has easy access. Vacationers who own something like an RV or a trailer can also benefit from a storage unit of this size that can easily fit most large-sized vehicles.
6. 10×30
Typically the average individual won’t ever need a storage facility this big. In most cases, a 10×30 unit will be ideal for multi-vehicle storage and commercial use.
