How to Choose the Right Size Rental Unit for You
What Size Storage Unit Do You Need?
So, you’ve decided to rent a storage unit, but you’re not sure how big to go. There is a wide range of sizes available, and it can be difficult to determine how much room you actually need. At Moishe’s Self Storage, we make it easy for you. Check out our room calculator for a precise assessment of your needs. If you rent a storage unit from Moishe’s, our friendly staff will help you determine which option is best for your needs and price range. Have a look at the dimensions below to get a sense of what size you might require.
5 X 5 Unit (25 Sq. Ft.)
If you’re looking for the smallest unit available, this is it. This space is ideal for storing clothing, ski equipment, and other seasonal items that are only needed during certain times of the year. A twin-sized bed and box spring will fit in there, too.
5 X 10 Unit (50 Sq. Ft.)
A 5 x 10 unit is large enough to store a queen-sized bed, a file cabinet, a dresser, and some boxes; it is still closet-sized but more like a walk-in than a reach-in.
5 X 15 Unit (75 Sq. Ft.)
A 5′ x 15′ storage unit, which is equivalent to a large walk-in closet, is large enough to store the contents of one bedroom, including a bed, two nightstands, a chest drawer, a television, and some boxes.
10 X 10 Unit (100 Sq. Ft.)
Two bedrooms’ worth of furniture or a living room’s worth of couches should fit in this half-garage-sized unit. This might be sufficient for most people in New York City who reside in studio apartments.
10 X 15 Unit (150 Sq. Ft.)
A 10′ x 15′ storage unit should be sufficient for most people who need to store the contents of three bedrooms along with larger items like couches, pianos, and bookcases.
10 X 20 Unit (200 Sq. Ft.)
A household’s worth of furniture, boxes, and appliances like a refrigerator, washer, and dryer can fit into this garage-sized storage unit.
10 X 25 Unit (250 Sq. Ft.)
This unit is much larger than a standard garage and can easily accommodate the contents of a three-bedroom home, including patio furniture, barbecues, and other large items.
10 X 30 Unit (300 Sq. Ft.)
Storage from a three- to five-bedroom home can be accommodated in this unit which is roughly the size of a standard garage and a half. It’s common for businesses to rent these larger units for storing their surplus inventory, office supplies, and other large items.
What Can You Store In Your Unit?
You can store most household items and furniture in a storage unit. You can also rent storage specifically for vehicles, such as motorcycles or boats.
If you’re planning to store items such as wine, rare books, or art, ask about Moishe’s climate-controlled units that are designed for such sensitive valuables.
You should never put food, hazardous material, live animals, or plants in storage. Additionally, check with your facility to see what their restrictions are.
