What Size Storage unit Do I Need?
The self storage unit size you need will depend on what you plan to store. In general, these are the unit sizes that work best for common moving and vehicle storage situations:
- Studio or one-bedroom apartment: 5' x 10' to 5' x 15' Storage Unit
- Two-bedroom apartment: 10' x 10' to 10' x 15' Storage Unit
- Two-bedroom house: - 10' x 20' Storage Unit
- Three-bedroom house: 10' x 25' Storage Unit
- Four-bedroom house: 10' x 30' Storage Unit
- Car: 10' x 20' Storage Unit
- Motorcycle: 5' x 10' Storage Unit
Storage for Oversized Items
Motorcycles
Almost all motorcycles are longer than five feet in length. This makes 5' × 10' storage units (and larger) a good 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 size, but we’ll take a look at a couple 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.
