Here are a couple rough estimates that might be helpful:
  • 5x10 - one bedroom
  • 10x10 or 10x15 - one to two bedroom apartment
  • 10x20 - 2-3 bedroom house
  • 10x30 - 4 bedroom house
  • Most cars fit in a 10x20
“What size unit do you need?” This is probably the most common question that needs to be answered when you are looking into renting a storage unit. Here are some tips in helping you choose the best fit unit. 1. What is the largest item you plan on storing? If you need to store a queen bed set, that 5x5 with the low introductory price is probably not going to work. Think about your biggest items and work backwards from there. 2. Are your stored items stackable? If so, unit height is important. Our King Avenue units offer 11ft ceiling heights. Some of the new facilities are only building with 8ft ceilings. In terms of cubic feet a 10x10 with an 8ft ceiling has 800 cubic feet whereas a 10x10 with an 11f t ceiling has 1100 cubic feet, a 37.5% increase in useable volume. 3. How long do you plan to store? If the time period is short, the unit size isn't as critical. If your storage is long term, you don't want to be paying for more than you need over many years as this cost can ad up. 4. Use a storage calculator (see below) There are many tools; including the one below that can help you estimate the right size unit for your needs.
