That’s why we’re here to help you make the most out of your 5×10 storage unit and maximize its space.
Below, we’ve answered some frequently asked questions about our 5×10 units and provided tips on how to use them efficiently.
Helpful Information — Choosing The Right Size Unit
How much can a 5×10 storage unit hold?
A 5×10 storage unit is roughly the size of a walk-in closet and is perfect for storing personal or business items. It can hold up to 50 square feet of space. This size is ideal for storing smaller furniture pieces, boxes, and other household or office items.
Is a 5×10 storage unit big enough for me?
A 5×10 storage unit is about the same size as a standard walk-in closet. This unit gives you approximately 50 square feet of storage space, enough to hold about a dozen boxes, a desk, chair, mattress and box spring.
What are some tips on effectively packing a 5×10 storage unit?
When packing your 5×10 storage unit, it’s important to utilize all available space efficiently. This can be done by using stackable boxes, utilizing vertical space, and labeling items for easy access later on.
Maximizing Your 5×10 Storage Unit Space
What items can I store in a 5×10 storage unit?
A 5×10 storage unit is perfect for storing items from a small apartment or a single room in a house. This includes furniture such as couches, chairs, dressers, boxes of household items, and seasonal decorations.
Is it possible to store large furniture or appliances in a 5×10 storage unit?
Yes, with a little planning. A 5×10 is 5 feet wide and 10 feet deep, so long items such as a sofa or a mattress go along the 10-foot length rather than across the 5-foot width. A dresser, a small fridge or a washer and dryer fits; a full sectional or several large appliances will not. Measure your biggest pieces first, and for a full bedroom set plus appliances step up to a 10×10 unit.
How many large boxes can fit in a 5×10 storage unit?
The exact number of large boxes that can fit in a 5×10 storage unit will vary depending on the size and shape of the boxes. It’s important to consider not just the dimensions of the box but also how they will be stacked and organized within the unit. However, on average, a 5×10 storage unit can typically hold around 15–20 large boxes.

Is it possible to store a king-size bed in a 5×10 storage unit?
Yes, it is possible to store a king-size bed in a 5×10 storage unit. However, this will depend on the specific dimensions of your bed and the layout of the storage unit. Some king-size beds may be able to fit diagonally or with some disassembly. It’s always best to measure both your bed and the available space in the storage unit before making any decisions.

What Fits in a 5×10 Storage Unit?
A 5×10 storage unit is 50 square feet — comparable to a large walk-in closet. It holds the contents of a one-bedroom apartment without large furniture: a mattress set, dresser, small furniture, and roughly 15–20 boxes. A queen or king mattress fits stored on its side. For a full bedroom set plus appliances, step up to a 10×10 unit.
5×10 vs 5×5 and 10×10: which size do you need?
| Size | Floor space | Typically holds | Starting rate, per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5x5 | 25 sq ft | Seasonal items, boxes, a dresser or small desk. | $13 |
| 5x10 (this page) | 50 sq ft | A mattress set, dresser, small furniture and roughly 15–20 boxes. | $23 |
| 10x10 | 100 sq ft | The contents of a one-bedroom apartment or a small two-bedroom house. | $43 |
Starting rate is the same portfolio-wide figure shown at the top of each size’s page. Rates depend on the facility and unit and change over time.
Each step up in this range doubles your floor space: a 5×5 is 25 square feet, a 5×10 is 50 and a 10×10 is 100. A 5×10 suits the belongings of a dorm room or a bedroom without large furniture. Move up to a 10×10 for a full bedroom set plus appliances, or down to a 5×5 if it is mostly seasonal items and boxes.
