A 10×10 storage unit is the most popular size, and it’s often the right pick for people moving out of a 1- or 2-bedroom apartment<\/strong>. We pulled data from storage facilities nationwide to break down what you can store, how much to budget for, and when to consider other options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Big Is a 10×10 Storage Unit?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A 10×10 storage unit is about half of a one-car garage<\/strong>, but remember to factor in the ceiling: the standard height is 8 feet. Still, some older facilities have lower ceilings, so confirm the height<\/strong> before you sign a contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To <\/strong>get the most out of your space, stack your boxes<\/strong> four or five high, disassemble bulky furniture<\/strong>, and if you can, put a shelving unit along one side<\/strong> for smaller objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
