Choose Storage
 Self-storage facilities offer a wide variety of unit sizes and shapes. Generally, they are rented in 5-foot increments.
Most facilities offer the following unit sizes; however, many will have other increments or larger units for great options:
- 25 sq. ft.
- 30 sq. ft
- 100 sq. ft
- 150 sq. ft
- 200 sq. ft
 Here a simple chart for determining what size is most appropriate for your storage requirements:
- Two-room flat 5 x 5 to 5 x 10
- 1,200 square foot home 5 x 10
- 1,600 square foot home 10 x 10
- 2,000 square foot home 10 x 15
- 2,500 square foot home 10 x 20
An alternative way of working how much space you need. We also advise self-storage clients that you can get an idea of the size of storage you will need from the size of van you are using. For example:
A 15-foot van full to the top will usually fit into a 10x10 unit, because the units are generally taller and wider than the vans. The unit will, however, be full to the top.
A 24-foot van should fit into a 10x20 . And we tell customers "a 5x5 is similar to a coat cupboard, a 5x10 a walk-in cupboard."
A 1,200 square-foot home should fit into 10x20 or 10x25, but if there are only a few appliances and a minimal amount of large items, the renter may get away with a smaller storage space. Most flats will fit into a 10x10 or 10x25, whereas a house will need a 10x20 or 10x25.
Another thing you can do is to picture your home and how you could stack your items. How big is your garage? Can you drive a car into or do you have a lot of items such as tools that aren't stackable? We hope the above information has been helpful, should you require further help in deciding what size storage space you will require, you can contact any of the staff at the storage centres in our directory. They would be happy to give you a guided tour of the storage facilities to help you decide your requirements.
