We offer a wide range of storage unit sizes to fit your needs—whether you’re storing just a few boxes or the contents of a large home or job site. Our units start at 5×5 feet in our climate-controlled facility, ideal for small items like seasonal decorations, file boxes, or personal keepsakes. On the larger end, we offer spacious 12×40 foot units, perfect for storing vehicles, boats, trailers, or the contents of a large home or business inventory.
Additionally, we provide warehouse storage for oversized items such as RVs, campers, boats, and commercial trailers—giving you even more flexibility for your larger storage needs.
Here’s a quick guide to help visualize some of our popular sizes:
5×5 – Small closet size. Great for boxes, office files, or small furniture.
10×10 – Half of a standard garage. Fits furniture from a one-bedroom apartment.
10×20 – Standard garage size. Ideal for a 2-3 bedroom home’s worth of belongings or a standard sized vehicle.
12×40 – Extra-large unit. Great for contractors, business storage, or large vehicles.
