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. Considering climate-controlled units? We have those too! Learn why climate-controlled storage might be better for your belongings.


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 one-bedroom apartment, including bedroom and dining furniture along with storage boxes. This unit is roughly the size of a standard second 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. With strategic placement you can fit quite a bit in this unit!


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.
