What size storage unit do I need ?

Updated: Jun 24, 2021

So, it's moving time. Maybe you your closing dates aren't matching up. Maybe you've got some extra stuff you need to put aside. Maybe you just need that extra room to put stuff. Whatever the case, we have a guide to help you figure out how much storage space you'll need when moving your stuff.


Step One: Make a list of everything you'll be storing, including chairs, appliances, and other oddly designed things that won't fit into bins.

Step two: Calculate how many boxes you'll need to fit in your storage space.

Step three: Determine which self storage solution is best for your personal storage needs using our visual Storage Unit Size Guide below.


A 5x5 storage unit is approximately the same size as a small wardrobe.

It has enough space for a dresser, a small mattress collection, and a few small to medium-sized boxes. Garden tools, seasonal décor, and sports equipment can all be stored in this area.


A 5x10 storage unit is comparable to a small walk-in closet.

It would accommodate a queen-sized bed, a dresser, a TV, and several small to medium-sized boxes in a mid-sized bedroom.


A 5x15 storage unit is comparable to a big walk-in closet.

It can accommodate a queen-sized bed, a dresser, a nightstand, golf clubs, a TV, and several medium to large-sized boxes in a single bedroom.


A 10x10 storage unit is around half the size of a typical one-car garage.

It can hold the contents of two large bedrooms or an entire family room, as well as many small to medium-sized boxes.


A 10x15 storage unit is around the same size as a typical one-car garage.

It holds the contents of three full bedrooms, as well as larger things like a piano, couches, beds, or flat-screen televisions, as well as many medium to large shelves.


A 10x15 storage unit is about the same size as a typical one car garage.

It will accommodate the contents of three bedrooms, as well as larger items such as a piano, couches, chairs, or flat-screen televisions, as well as a number of medium to wide shelves.


A 10x25 storage unit is slightly bigger than a one-car garage.

It holds the contents of a fully furnished three-bedroom home, including bulky items including a sofa, mattress sets, dressers, refrigerators, washers and dryers, dining room sets, entertainment centres, and other big cabinets.


A 10x30 storage unit is equivalent to a 1 1/2 car garage in size.

It holds the contents of a fully furnished 3-5 bedroom home, including oversized pieces including couches, chairs, dressers, a microwave, washer/dryer, dining room table, entertainment centre, and other huge boxes.
