10x10 Storage Unit, Frequently Asked Questions
A 10x10 storage unit is 10 feet by 10 feet, for 100 square feet of floor space. With 8-foot ceilings, that works out to 800 cubic feet of total volume. It is comparable to a standard bedroom or a small home office.
About 180 medium moving boxes stacked wall to wall, five layers high, with nothing else in the unit. Leave a reach zone at the door and the realistic figure drops to 140 to 150. If you are also storing furniture, plan on 60 to 80 boxes.
Yes, comfortably. A 10x10 is the standard recommendation for a one-bedroom apartment, including a sofa, bed frame, mattress, dresser, small dining set and boxes of household goods.
Yes. A king mattress (76 by 80 inches) fits easily flat on the floor or standing on end, and still leaves the majority of the unit available.
No. Even compact cars are about 12 to 14 feet long and 5 to 6 feet wide. A 10x10 is large enough to store the contents of a car, but not the car itself.
It depends on the apartment. A 10x10 handles most two-bedroom apartments if you disassemble large furniture and stack vertically. It does not handle a two-bedroom apartment with oversized sectionals, multiple bedroom sets and a home office, and it does not handle a two-bedroom house with a garage.
A two or three piece sectional fits in a 10x10 when arranged along two walls or with pieces stacked on end. A very large sectional may not fit.
Our 10x10 units have 8-foot ceilings, giving you 800 cubic feet of volume.
A 10x15 gives you 50 percent more floor space (150 vs 100 square feet). If your inventory fills a 10x10 and you want breathing room, or if you have a two-bedroom apartment, step up to a 10x15.
Choose a temperature-regulated unit for electronics, wood furniture, photographs, artwork, documents, leather and musical instruments. A standard unit is fine for tools, plastic bins of household goods and seasonal decorations.
