Not sure what size storage unit you need? You’re not alone! Here’s a quick guide to help you find your perfect fit.


1. Take Stock of Your Stuff

Start by making a quick list of what you’re storing—furniture, boxes, seasonal items, or business inventory. Snap a few photos if that’s easier. You’ll get a better idea of how much space it’ll take.


2. Match It to a Size

Here’s the simple breakdown:

  • 5x5: A few boxes or seasonal décor.

  • 5x10: Small furniture or a studio’s worth of stuff.

  • 10x10: A one-bedroom apartment.

  • 10x15: Two bedrooms or a small house.

  • 10x20+: A full house or large move.


3. Think Up, Not Out

Most units have tall ceilings—stack boxes, stand furniture upright, and save floor space!


4. Leave Room to Move

If you’ll visit your unit often, leave a small walkway so you can reach things easily later.


5. Ask for Help

Still unsure? Storage pros help with this every day—bring your list, and they’ll point you in the right direction.
