A Crash Course in Storage Sizes

Moving, downsizing, or just needing extra space? 
Renting a storage unit is an excellent solution for individuals and businesses. When renting a storage unit, having the right size pays dividends. There's no reason to pay for the square footage you're not using or to frantically book a larger unit because your sofa is much bigger than you thought. With a bit of planning, measuring, and a little elbow grease, you can make optimal use of your unit. 

Downtown Self Storage has several self-storage unit sizes, ranging from units that are smaller than 5x5 if you only have a few boxes of holiday decorations or books to up to 20x30 in case you need to store garage-size contents. 

We have a handful of steps and examples to ensure the storage process goes off without a hitch. 

5x5: If you have a few holiday decorations to store, a few boxes of clothes, or even skis, 5x5' is the perfect size. Think of it as a fairly spacious closet. Downtown Self Storage also offers even smaller units if you only have a few boxes to store.

5x10: A midsize unit like this can typically hold a surprising amount of furniture. A sofa, a deconstructed bed and mattress, a bedside table, and several boxes will fit with a little planning.

10x10: A one-bedroom apartment's furnishings can fit into a 10x10. A sofa, a deconstructed bed and mattress, tables, chairs, and boxes with organization will fill a large unit of this size.

Of course, the larger the unit is, the more things you can store: yard maintenance gear, outdoor furniture, sports equipment, or appliances for your home or office can all be stored. We even have units up to 20x30 to accommodate oversized items.
