Small Storage Units

Small storage units (5x5 or 5x10) are a great choice if you’re looking for an affordable way to store a limited number of items. Think of them as an extension of your closet or hall storage at home.

• Common Uses:
  • Seasonal clothing, decorations, or sports gear.
  • Dorm room furniture and boxes for students on summer break.
  • Storing business documents, office supplies, or marketing materials.
  • Bikes, camping gear, or smaller hobby equipment.

A small unit is perfect if you just need to reclaim space in your home, prepare for a move, or store valuables that you don’t want in a garage or attic.

Medium Storage Units

Medium storage units (commonly 10x10 or 10x15) offer more flexibility and can hold the contents of a one- to two-bedroom apartment. These are the most popular sizes for families and renters.

Medium units are a great balance between cost and capacity. If you’re not sure whether a small unit will cut it, sizing up to a medium gives you peace of mind and extra space to work with.

Large Storage Units

Large storage units (10x20, 10x30, or bigger) are designed for maximum capacity and flexibility. They are roughly the size of a standard garage or larger, which makes them ideal for both residential and commercial storage.
