Choosing the right self-storage unit size is crucial to effectively storing your belongings and optimizing your storage space. At Storwell, we understand the importance of selecting the perfect unit size, and we’re here to guide you through the process. Before choosing what storage size you are going to rent, it is important to take inventory of the items you plan to store. Consider their dimensions, quantity, and any special requirements they may have. Categorize your belongings into groups based on their size and fragility. This will give you a clearer idea of the amount of space you’ll need. Storwell offers a variety of options, from small lockers to spacious units, ensuring that you’ll find one that suits your requirements. If you’re unsure about the ideal unit size, don’t worry. Our experienced staff is always ready to assist you. Feel free to provide them with details about your storage needs and they’ll offer valuable advice based on their expertise.
Size and Dimensions
The 5×15 unit can fit the contents of a small apartment or loft including bookshelves, bedside tables, coffee tables, and several large appliances. This would also be a good option for businesses looking for file storage. If you are looking to store your items long-term but will need to access them regularly, consider organizing your unit using shelving and leaving space for aisles, so you can move around and find items more easily.
Our 5×15 storage units are approximately 75 square feet in size, which is about the size of a large walk-in closet, giving you approximately 600 cubic feet of packing space. This size is a perfect option for people moving from one apartment to another. This is also a good option for people staging their home for sale that need a safe place to keep their belongings while their house is viewed. 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 ample 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 5×15 storage unit has a total volume of 600 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 5×15 unit are king 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. Keep in mind that 5×15 storage units are longer than they are wide, so while these units have ample room to store a wide variety of items, due to their size they require a bit more planning and organization to ensure you are using your storage space effectively. You can fit up to a king-sized bed and matching box spring set into a 5×15 storage unit. A 5×15 storage unit is perfect for motorcycle storage as it can fit all kinds of motorcycles, including cruiser motorcycles with a longer wheel base.
