Storage Unit Size Guide

One of the most common questions we hear is: What size storage unit do I need? The answer depends on what you’re storing, how efficiently you pack, and whether you want room to move around inside the unit. Use this guide as a starting point to choose the right fit.

Crothersville Location

Small Unit: 5 ft. x 10 ft. (50 sq. ft.)

Comparable to a large walk-in closet, this unit is perfect for:

  • Boxes, bins, and seasonal decorations

  • Small furniture like chairs, nightstands, or a couch

  • Contents of a studio apartment

Medium Unit: 10 ft. x 10 ft. (100 sq. ft.)

Roughly half the size of a one-car garage, this space works well for:

  • Furniture and appliances from a one-bedroom apartment

  • Business inventory or equipment

  • Several large items with room to stack boxes around them

  • ATVs, motorcycles and recreational equipment

Large Unit: 10 ft. x 20 ft. (200 sq. ft.)

About the size of a standard one-car garage, this unit can store:

  • The contents of a three-bedroom home

  • Large appliances and bulky furniture

  • A vehicle, small trailer, or recreational equipment

Our Crothersville facility also offers gated vehicle storage.


New Albany Location

Medium Unit: 10 ft. x 12 ft. (120 sq. ft.)

Slightly larger than the Crothersville 10x10, this option is ideal for:

  • A one- to two-bedroom apartment’s worth of items

  • Larger furniture sets and appliances

  • Tools or small business storage

Large Unit: 11 ft. x 16 ft. (176 sq. ft.)

With generous floor space, this unit is great for:

  • Business storage with shelving and workspace

  • Bulky items like sofas, mattresses, or equipment

Tips for Choosing the Right Size

  • Make a list of what you plan to store.

  • Think about whether you’ll need extra space to walk in and access items.

  • Consider upsizing slightly if you expect your storage needs to grow.
