Not Sure What Size Storage Unit You Need? Here’s an Easy Guide

Renting a storage unit should be simple, but picking the right size can feel like a guessing game. Too small and you’re stuffing things in. Too big and you’re paying for space you don’t use.

Here’s a quick guide to help you choose at Kearney Drive In Self Storage.

Small units (about 5x5 to 5x10): the closet-sized option.

These are ideal for seasonal décor, boxes, documents, small furniture, and sports equipment. If you’re clearing out a closet or a corner of the garage, this is likely your size.

Medium units (about 10x10): the bedroom-sized option.

A 10x10 typically fits the contents of a one-bedroom apartment, including a mattress, a couch, appliances, and boxes. It’s also a popular choice for college students and anyone downsizing.

Large units (about 10x20 and up): the full-house option.

Moving a two- to three-bedroom home, or storing a vehicle, boat, or camper? Go big. Our drive-up access makes loading large items easy.

Tips for packing your unit:

• Stack boxes of the same size and keep the heaviest ones on the bottom.
• Leave a walkway down the middle so you can reach things in the back.
• Disassemble furniture when you can to save space.
• Label every box so you can find things fast.
• Store items you’ll need most often near the front.

Still not sure?

That’s what we’re here for. Our friendly local team can help you find the right fit for your belongings and your budget, and you can always move up or down in size if your needs change.
