Choosing the Right Size Storage Unit for Your Move

Picture this: you’re moving into a new home, and as you’re packing, you quickly realize you have way more stuff than you thought. You start to panic, thinking “where the heck am I going to store all of this?” Fear not, my friend! Storage units are here to save the day (and your sanity). But how do you know what size unit to get? Don’t fret, we’re here to help. Read on to discover everything you need to know about choosing the right size storage unit for your move.

Storage units: sizes & options

Storage units can come in different sizes starting from 5×5 feet all the way up to 10×30 feet. It depends on how much you have to store, and how much money you want to spend. Let’s start with the smallest unit, 5×5 feet. This size is typically ideal for a few small items such as boxes, small furniture, or an outdoor grill. It’s a popular choice for those moving out for the first time and starting from scratch. It’s also a good option for those who have a limited budget and don’t want to spend too much on storage. Just don’t go adding a piano to your list of items, you don’t want to damage that sweet music maker. The next size up is 5×10 feet which can hold the contents of a dorm room or a studio apartment. This is perfect for someone who waived goodbye to Mom and Dad and is starting college life or for someone who is living minimally.

It’s also a great option for those who need a temporary rental while moving from one house to another. Additionally, it’s an excellent choice if you need a small place to store your motorcycle or some extra yard equipment. Just make sure to park the motorcycle away from your “antique” lawn gnome collection. Moving up in size, there is the 10×10 feet unit which can hold up to two bedrooms worth of stuff. This is perfect for someone who has a smaller family or is a single person who lives in a two-bedroom apartment. It’s also a great choice for those who need to store a small vehicle or boat with some extra room. Moving on up to the bigger sizes, we have the 10×20 feet unit. This unit can hold up to a three-bedroom house worth of belongings! If you have a small or young family, this size unit is perfect for you. It can fit furniture, appliances, and even a washer and dryer unit.The biggest size unit that’s typically available is 10×30 feet. This size is ideal for those who are moving out of a larger house with a lot of belongings. It can hold up to a five-bedroom house worth of belongings. This size unit is worth the price if you have a lot of stuff to store. Just remember to leave some space for yourself to walk around in the unit; it’s easy to get caught in the memories and forget where the door is.
