With a wide variety of storage unit sizes, Storwell Self Storage can help you with any and all of your self-storage needs. Choosing an appropriate storage unit size is one of the most important things you have to do when you are first renting out self-storage unit. We recommend that you start by making a list of all of the items you plan on storing in your storage unit. If possible, try and collect all of the items that you are planning to store in a single room in your home, this will give you a good visual representation of how much space your items take up and will give you a chance to measure that space. Next you must determine whether your items will fit in a small, medium, or large storage unit. You can use the descriptions in our storage sizes guide to start narrowing down your choices. If you are still struggling to determine what storage unit size is best for your needs, you can contact our team or friendly and experienced self-storage experts and they will be able to assist you.

Size and Dimensions

While our 3×8 storage unit is best for minor clutter storage, with the 5×10 you can store more substantial pieces, like furniture. You can fit a bed frame, a couch, and a washing machine in this unit with room to spare. With a 5-foot opening, you have better access to your stuff. If you want easy access to your things, leave some of the room unfilled so you can be able to walk in and out and remove any item you might need. You can store bicycles or motorcycles in this unit with no problem.
Our 5×10 storage units are approximately 50 square feet in size, which is about the size of a bus stop shelter, giving you approximately 400 cubic feet of packing space. This size is a perfect option for people looking for motorcycle storage or furniture storage solutions. 5×10 is one of the most popular storage unit sizes due to its versatility. It is important to make use of all of the vertical space in your self-storage unit. Most Storwell storage units are 8 feet high, giving you plenty of vertical space to store all of your items. Calculating the total volume of a storage unit can help you better understand how much stuff you can actually store. For example, a 5×10 storage unit has a total volume of 400 cubic square feet. This information is incredibly useful to have when you are deciding what items you want to store in your unit and will help determine whether or not you need more space.

What you can store

Common items you can store in a 5×10 unit are queen mattress sets, dressers, nightstands, couches, recliners, bicycles, boxes of clothing, and other household items and appliances. This is the ideal storage unit for moving to and from apartments. While not quite large enough to store a car, this unit is a good choice for bicycle and motorcycle storage. A queen mattress can comfortably fit inside a 5×10 storage unit; however, you must ensure that you store you mattress properly inside of a mattress bag to keep it protected. You can even fit a couch in a 5×10 storage unit, but consider storing your couch on its side to use the storage space more effectively and to make room for other items. We recommend using a 10-foot moving truck to move your items in and out of your 5×10 storage unit.
