Published on 4/29/2025
Are you unsure of what size storage unit you need? Coos Bay Storage at Englewood is here to help! We offer various sizes to fit your every need: let's break down how to choose your prefect unit size.
Understanding Storage Unit Sizes: What Fits Where?
When it comes to self-storage, one size definitely doesn't fit all. Here is a quick guide to common unit sizes and what they can hold:
- 5x5 - Think of this as a walk-in closet. It's great for boxes, seasonal décor, or small furniture like lamps and chairs.
- 5x10 - This size fits a sofa, mattress set, dresser, and several boxes. Ideal for a small studio or dorm room contents.
- 10x10 - About half the size of a standard garage, this can handle the contents of a one-bedroom apartment.
- 10x20 - Planning to store items from multi-bedroom house? This unit size is spacious enough for large furniture, appliances, and many boxes.
How to Assess Your Storage Needs Like a Pro
Before renting a unit, take inventory of everything you plan to store. Here's how:
- Make a List- Go room by room and jot down items. Don't forget oddly shaped items like bikes or patio furniture.
- Measure Large Items- Sofas, bed frames, and dining tables can eat up more space than expected.
- Use a Storage Checklist- This helps prevent last-minute surprises and over packing.
Choosing the Right Storage Facility Matter
The size of your unit is just more part of the equation. The right storage facility can make or break your experience. Here's what to look for:
- Location- Close to home or work for convenience.
- Security Features- gated access, cameras, and lighting are must-haves.
- Cleanliness and Maintenance- A clean facility reflects good management.
