Determining The Size Of Storage Unit You Need
Storage units are essential for storing belongings if you relocate to a different home, downsize or plan to be on the road for an extended time. You need to figure out the amount of room you’ll require.
By choosing a unit that isn’t big enough, you’ll end up having to waste time moving to a bigger unit eventually. By choosing a unit that is too large, you will be spending on unneeded space. Here are some tips which can help you with your space needs.
- 5′ x 5′ self storage unit – 25 sq. ft.
This represents the size of a modest walk-in closet. Five feet is not much room, so only boxes and a few items can be stored here.
- 5′ x 10′ self storage unit – 50 square feet
This is similar in size to a large walk in closet. You could fit a few bigger pieces like a davenport, chest of drawers and bed set, along with packaged items and knickknacks. Be sure to utilize your wall and ceiling area with shelves you install to get the most of the available space.
- a 5 by 15 foot self storage unit equals 75 square feet of space.
This is enough to accommodate belongings from a single bedroom apartment. This size should be sufficient for a single person or a couple, as long as they don’t have a lot of material possessions.
- 10′ x 10′ self storage unit – 100 square feet
This is equivalent in size to a regular single vehicle garage. It will adequately accommodate the items from a two-bedroom apartment, the personal effects of two individuals or even a car or boat. If you are going to use it for this purpose, be certain to choose a storage unit that opens to the outside and not in a passageway.
- a 10 by 15 foot self storage unit is equal to 150 square feet of space.
Larger than a one car garage, all the contents of a three bedroom apartment or home can be stored in this storage space, with room for other items such as motorcycles and exercise equipment.
- 10 by 20 foot self storage unit – 200 square feet
This size is nearly the same as a garage for two vehicles. It might be put to use storing an automobile, pickup, boat or motor home, along with furniture and crates. This storage unit can accommodate the contents of a medium-sized home or apartment with room to spare. This size is ideal for households with four or more members.
