What Size Storage Unit Do I Need? A Complete Guide

Choosing the right storage unit size can save you money and hassle. Here's how to determine what size

works best for your needs.

Understanding Storage Unit Sizes

Storage units are measured in feet, with the two numbers representing width and length. At Comal

Storage in Bulverde, Texas, we offer units ranging from 5x5 to 10x20 in both drive-up and climate-controlled

options.

5x5 Units (25 sq ft) Perfect for seasonal items, sports equipment, or small furniture pieces. Think of it

as a walk-in closet. Great for storing holiday decorations, camping gear, or a few boxes during a dorm

room move.

5x10 Units (50 sq ft) Ideal for a one-bedroom apartment's contents or office supplies. This size

accommodates a mattress set, small furniture, or approximately 10-15 boxes.

10x10 Units (100 sq ft) The most popular size for residential moves. Fits contents from a two-bedroom

apartment, including major appliances, furniture, and boxes. This is roughly the size of a standard

bedroom.

10x15 Units (150 sq ft) Suitable for two bedrooms or small vehicles. Can hold larger furniture

sets, appliances, and numerous boxes with room to move around.

10x20 Units (200 sq ft) Our largest option works for three to four-bedroom homes, vehicles, or business

inventory. This size is comparable to a standard one-car garage.

Tips for Maximizing Your Space

Regardless of size, proper packing makes a difference. Use uniform box sizes when possible, stack

vertically, and leave a small aisle for access. Disassemble furniture to save space, and use mattress

covers and furniture pads to protect items while allowing you to stack more efficiently.
