You&#8217;ve come to the right place.<br>Free Image via CubeSmart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly everyone shopping for a storage unit rental ends up asking themselves: <em>how much storage space should I get<\/em>? If you\u2019re in the market for storage, you\u2019re probably wondering the same. We\u2019re here to tell you that while determining storage space needs can seem daunting \u2013 especially if this is the first time you\u2019re considering self-storage \u2013 it\u2019s actually pretty straightforward. With a little work on the front end, you can rest assured that the storage unit you rent will not only fit your items but also give you the right amount of space to actually access them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this blog, we\u2019re going to take a look at a typical storage unit size comparison between small and medium. If you\u2019re weighing the pros and cons of a 5&#215;10 vs. 10&#215;10 storage unit, or something similar, you\u2019re in the right spot. We\u2019ll examine how to choose between sizes, how to measure the volume of your belongings, and answer some storage unit size FAQs. So bust out your measuring tape and let\u2019s get to work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storage Unit Size Comparison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At CubeSmart, we offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/size-guide\/\">storage units for rental<\/a> in four size categories: small, medium, large, and vehicle. Within these segments, there are different dimensions to choose from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Small Storage: <\/strong>Mini-storage lockers, 5&#215;5, and 5&#215;10 units<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Medium Storage:<\/strong> 10&#215;10 and 10&#215;15 units<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Large Storage:<\/strong> 10&#215;20 and 10&#215;30 units<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vehicle Storage:<\/strong> 15\u2019, 20\u2019, 26\u2019, and 30\u2019 spaces<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Except for mini storage and some of the vehicle storage units, the heights are typically 8 feet. This gives plenty of space to store vertically either by carefully stacking items or using shelving units for additional accessibility. Units are available either with drive-up access (and roll-top garage doors) or in the larger CubeSmart facility, which always features wide hallways and elevators to make getting your goods in and out in a snap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>5&#215;10 vs. 10&#215;10 Storage Unit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An extremely common storage unit size comparison our customers make is between the 5&#215;10 and 10&#215;10 units. So, let\u2019s break them down to see what each offers individually and what type and volume of belongings might fit well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/storage-resources\/size-guide\/5x10-storage-unit\/\"><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">5&#215;10 Storage Unit<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/5x10-resized.jpg\" alt=\"Illustration of a 5x10 storage unit\" class=\"wp-image-25561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.cubesmart.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/5x10-resized.jpg 800w, https:\/\/staging.cubesmart.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/5x10-resized-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.cubesmart.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/5x10-resized-750x563.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Relocating or need more space than your apartment closets can provide? Consider a 5&#215;10 storage unit.<br>Free Image via CubeSmart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A 5&#215;10 unit is similar in size to a medium walk-in closet, cargo van, or garden shed. At five feet wide, ten feet deep, and eight feet high, it provides 400 cubic feet of space. Not to sound too much like the Cheshire Cat from <em>Alice in Wonderland<\/em>, but this size is well-suited for a small number of large items<em> or<\/em> a large number of small items. Think office equipment, chairs, sports gear, fans, lamps, coffee tables, holiday d\u00e9cor, and luggage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watch The Video<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Storage Unit Size Guide - 5&#039;x10&#039;\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y9XixZF3jRw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/storage-resources\/size-guide\/10x10-storage-unit\/\"><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">10&#215;10 Storage Unit<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/10x10-resized.jpg\" alt=\"Illustration of a 10x10 storage unit\" class=\"wp-image-25563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.cubesmart.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/10x10-resized.jpg 800w, https:\/\/staging.cubesmart.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/10x10-resized-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.cubesmart.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/10x10-resized-750x563.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">If you need to store the contents of a one-bedroom apartment, or maybe you&#8217;re planning a room remodel, check out a 10&#215;10 storage unit. <br>Free Image via CubeSmart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A 10&#215;10 storage unit is ten feet wide, ten feet deep, and eight feet high, which equals 800 cubic feet of space \u2013 double the size of the 5&#215;10 unit.

Is it due to a remodel, move, or another other short-term project? Or will you need it to store items over a longer period, and perhaps even indefinitely? Think about how frequently, if at all, you\u2019ll want or need to move items in and out of the space. Also consider whether your items will need climate-controlled storage. Hint: They probably will. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/your-space\/organization\/10-surprising-things-that-need-climate-controlled-storage\/\">surprising amount of personal possessions<\/a> \u2013 from clothing to furniture \u2013 need protection from swings in heat and humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep scrolling for additional tips about other factors to consider when conducting a storage unit size comparison to determine the best fit for you and your things!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing Storage Unit Dimensions: Factors to Consider<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Picking a storage unit size and vendor can be overwhelming. You need to think about cost, location, and security \u2013 not to mention how you will move your items in and out, overall accessibility, and, in some cases, the length of the lease (don\u2019t worry\u2014at CubeSmart, we offer maximum flexibility with our month-to-month options).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to choosing storage unit dimensions, there are three key factors to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Volume of Belongings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask any elementary school student: volume is how much space something occupies and can be found by multiplying width by depth by height. Before choosing the storage unit size right for you, you\u2019ll need to at least have a rough idea of the volume of your possessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get a head start, look for moving company websites that can provide standard volumes of household items along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.earthrelocation.com\/moving-calculator\/\">moving calculators<\/a> to better help you narrow in on specifics. If all your belongings are in stackable boxes, it will be easy to figure out volume. If not, you\u2019ll need to give thought not just to what you want to fit in the unit \u2013 but how it will fit in the unit. Storing a coffee table on its side, for instance, will likely give you more room to work with than keeping it horizontal with just a few items stacked on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Future Storage Needs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To make the storage rental process go as smoothly as possible, it\u2019s important to think about what you will need for storage today and how that might change tomorrow. For instance, if you are planning to use your unit to store inventory for a small business, what do you expect that volume to look like three months or six months from now? If you\u2019re storing belongings during a remodel or move, will you gradually need less space as you transfer items back into your home?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While moving between storage units is certainly something that can be done \u2013 and done relatively easily if you rent from companies with a lot of on-site options \u2013 you may decide that sizing up from the beginning will ultimately save you from the stress and hassle of switching units later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Accessibility<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The third factor to take into consideration when determining storage space needs is accessibility. Do you plan on frequently moving items in and out of your unit? Will you need (or prefer) drive-up access or will an internally situated unit work? What time of day will you need to access your items? Also think about tools: would having the ability to use a pushcart, dolly, and\/or moving truck be of assistance? Many storage unit rental providers don\u2019t offer such amenities, so if they\u2019re important to you \u2013 and will help you store and access your belongings more readily \u2013 be sure to ask!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eight Storage Unit Size FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"1\">\n<li><strong>Is a 5&#215;10 or 10&#215;10 storage unit better? <\/strong><br>The short answer: it depends. Be realistic about the volume of items you want to store and how much additional space you might need to maneuver comfortably within the unit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Can I fit a couch in a 5&#215;10 storage unit? <\/strong><br>Absolutely. We recommend storing couches vertically if possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How many rooms will a 10&#215;10 storage unit hold? <\/strong><br>A 10&#215;10 storage unit can hold the contents of three rooms (the size of a one-bedroom apartment or small office).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How many boxes can fit in a 5&#215;10 storage unit? <\/strong><br>A 5&#215;10 storage unit can fit around 20 large boxes. Alternatively, it could hold a few larger pieces and several small and medium boxes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How does the cost vary between different storage unit sizes? <\/strong><br>Storage unit costs vary based on when and where the items need to be stored. Other features specific to unit types, like drive-up access or climate control, can also affect the price. Your best bet is to either <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/\">book online today for a reserved rate<\/a> or visit your local CubeSmart to talk to a store manager in person.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What happens if I choose wrong and my belongings don\u2019t fit? <\/strong><br>If your belongings don\u2019t fit inside the storage unit you\u2019ve rented, you have one of two choices: reduce the number of belongings you want to store or rent a larger storage unit. One of the many advantages of renting from a self-storage provider with national coverage is that they will typically have more rental options available either at your current location or a nearby one.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Can and should I stack items vertically in my unit? <\/strong><br>Yes! Stacking vertically is one of our favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/post\/storage-unit-organization-101\/\">storage organization<\/a> hacks. Take advantage of the unit\u2019s height by stacking boxes and installing freestanding shelves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Does the size of storage unit I choose affect the insurance coverage? <\/strong><br>Insurance is required for all items stored at CubeSmart, but the amount needed is related to the items you store \u2013 not the size of the storage unit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope we\u2019ve answered all your questions (and many more!) about choosing between a 5&#215;10 and a 10&#215;10 storage unit.
