Our Storage Unit Size Guide

Small Storage Units

• Small storage units are great options to store seasonal items like holiday lights, Christmas trees, golf clubs, and clothes. As long as you pack your belongings to make them stackable, smaller storage units fit a lot more than you might think. If you are trying to pack up a house, these can fit approximately one bedroom’s worth of items. This means you can store up to a full size mattress, one or two other large pieces of furniture, and your remaining boxes and small pieces.

Medium Storage Units

• Medium storage units offer a lot of versatility with enough space for commercial and residential use. Business users can use self storage as a tool to keep your files and inventory safe if you do not have an office space. Self storage is a more affordable option for small businesses. People also use medium storage units when they are moving out of their apartment or condo. This size comfortably holds two or three bedrooms’ contents. They could even fit your bike or motorcycle.

Large Storage Units

• Moving houses? Large storage units can hold everything in your house with some extra space for navigating your items. These are your best bet for fitting your home’s largest furniture: dining room tables, bookcases, desks, king size mattresses, wardrobes, chairs, entertainment centers, and more. And if you need a place to keep an extra vehicle, these storage units can fit cars, trucks, small boats, and trailers.
