Is a 10x10 storage unit enough?
A 10x10 storage unit offers about 100 square feet of space—roughly the size of a small bedroom. It’s a versatile option and can typically hold the contents of a one-bedroom apartment, including furniture like a bed, couch, dining table, and several boxes. It’s also great for business inventory or seasonal storage. If you’re unsure, our team can help you find the right fit based on what you’re storing.
What can fit in a 10x20 storage unit?
A 10x20 unit gives you about 200 square feet of space, similar to a standard one-car garage. This size can typically hold the contents of a 2- to 3-bedroom home, including larger furniture, appliances, mattresses, and dozens of boxes. It’s also a good option for storing a vehicle, trailer, or small boat.
Can you sleep in a storage unit?
No, sleeping in a storage unit is not allowed—and it’s unsafe. Storage units are not designed or permitted for living or sleeping. For your safety and the safety of others, please use your storage unit only for storing approved belongings.
