Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of unit should I get?
The right storage unit size depends on what you plan to store and how much space you need to move around your items.
5x5 or 5x10 units are great for smaller loads, such as chairs, lamps, small furniture pieces, boxes, books, and documents.
10x10 or 10x15 units work well for larger furniture, bicycles, appliances, and the contents of a small apartment.
10x20 or 10x30 units can typically fit the contents of a three-bedroom home, including large furniture and multiple appliances.
