A 5x10 storage unit is 5 feet wide by 10 feet deep, for 50 square feet of floor space. With 8-foot ceilings, that works out to 400 cubic feet of total volume. It is comparable to a large walk-in closet or a small bathroom.

About 90 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 70. If you are also storing furniture, plan on 30 to 50 boxes.

Yes. A king mattress is 76 by 80 inches, so it stands on its long edge under an 8-foot ceiling and the 80-inch dimension runs down the 10-foot depth with room to spare.

Yes. Most motorcycles are 7 to 8 feet long and about 30 to 36 inches wide, so they fit in a 5x10 with room to spare at the back and on each side.

No. Even the shortest cars are about 140 inches, or nearly 12 feet long. A 5x10 is 120 inches deep. You need a 10x20 or a dedicated vehicle storage space for a car.

It depends on the apartment and how much furniture you are storing. A 5x10 handles a compact one-bedroom if you disassemble beds and pack tightly. For a full one-bedroom with a sofa, dining set, and bedroom furniture, a 10x10 is more reliable.

Yes, easily. A pair of standard machines spans 54 inches side by side against the 60-inch back wall, with 66 inches of depth still available in front of them.

A standard three-seat sofa (about 84 to 90 inches long) fits on its end under the 8-foot ceiling, or flat along the 10-foot back wall. A sectional typically will not fit.

Our 5x10 units have 8-foot ceilings, giving you 400 cubic feet of volume to work with.

A 10x10 is the standard recommendation for a two-bedroom apartment. A 5x10 can handle a two-bedroom if you disassemble everything and pack extremely tightly, but most people find it too small.

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.
