Large Storage Units: What They Can Do For You

 

Summer in the Pearl District has a way of making your apartment feel smaller. Between paddleboards, bikes, out-of-season clothes, and the boxes you swore you'd unpack "eventually," clutter has a way of creeping in right when you want to be out enjoying the neighborhood instead of tripping over it at home.

If you've outgrown your closet space (or your garage, or your office storage room) it might be time to consider a large storage unit. Here's a quick breakdown of what our bigger units can hold, so you can find the right fit without paying for space you don't need.

10x15 storage unit at Downtown Self Storage

10' x 15' (150 sq. ft.)

Roughly two-thirds the size of a one-car garage, this unit is a great match for the contents of a two-bedroom apartment or house. Think appliances, furniture, boxes, and all the miscellaneous items that pile up over time. It also works well for businesses that need room for general inventory.

10x20 storage unit at Downtown Self Storage

10' x 20' (200 sq. ft.)

About the size of a standard one-car garage, this unit gives you room for a three-bedroom house's worth of belongings, including major appliances, plus plenty of boxes left over. For business owners, it's an ideal size for files and inventory that need to be organized on storage racks.

10x25 storage unit at Downtown Self Storage

10' x 25' (250 sq. ft.)

Comparable to a one-car garage, this unit fits everything the 10'x20' does, with extra room to spare: enough for a home office setup in addition to a three-bedroom house's furniture and appliances. It's also a solid choice for businesses that need space for files, inventory, and racking.

10x30 storage unit at Downtown Self Storage

10' x 30' (300 sq. ft.)

Sized like a standard two-car garage, our largest option comfortably holds the contents of a four- to five-bedroom house, appliances included, with room to spare for boxes. For businesses, it's excellent for storing files, equipment, and permanent records all in one place.
