Storage for Oversized Items

🏍️ Motorcycles

Almost all motorcycles are longer than five feet in length. This makes 5' × 10' storage units (and larger) a great fit for anyone looking for an indoor vehicle storage option for their bike.

🚗 Automobiles

The smallest cars on the market might be able to fit into a 10' x 15' storage unit, but the vast majority of automobiles, including cars, SUVs, vans, and even some pickups, will fit into a 10' × 20' pretty easily. Some larger vans and trucks will require a 10' × 25' or a 10' × 30'.

🎹 Pianos

Pianos come in all shapes and sizes, but we’ll take a look at a couple of popular options to give you an idea of what to look for.

Storage Units for Oversized Belongings

🛏️ Mattresses

This obviously depends on which mattress size you’re storing. Smaller mattresses will fit in almost any storage unit, while queen and king-sized mattresses won’t fit in smaller units.

🛏️ Twin and Full-Size Mattress: A 5' × 5' will easily accommodate all mattresses smaller than a queen-size mattress.

👑 Queen-Size Mattress: Though you might be able to squeeze a queen-size mattress into a 5' × 5', it’s going to be a really tight fit. A 5' × 10' will be much better.

👑 King-Size Mattress: There’s no chance you’ll get a king-size mattress into a 5' × 5', but like the queen-size mattress, the king will fit nicely in a 5' × 10' or larger.
