What is the typical size of a self-storage unit?
Self-storage units come in a range of sizes to accommodate different storage needs. The most common sizes for self-storage units are 5’x5’, 5’x10’, 10’x10’, 10’x15’, and 10’x20’, but larger units (such as 10’x30’ or larger) are also available. The size of the unit needed will depend on the amount and type of items being stored. Most self-storage facilities offer a variety of unit sizes to accommodate different storage needs, and many offer flexible month-to-month rental options to allow customers to adjust the size of their unit as their storage needs change.
According to the Self Storage Association 2020 Self Storage Demand Study, these are the percentages of various unit sizes rented:
15.6% 5’x5’
20% 5’x10’
24.4% 10’x10’
14.8% 10’x15’
12.5% 10’x20’
12.7% 10’x30’ or larger
