What Can You Actually Fit in a 5x10, 10x10, or 10x20 Storage Unit?

Whether you’re moving, downsizing, or just need extra space, choosing the right storage unit size can save you time and money. At Legal Self Storage, we offer a variety of sizes, but our most popular are 5x10, 10x10, and 10x20. Here’s a closer look at what you can realistically fit in each.

5x10 Storage Unit (50 sq ft)

Think of this as a walk-in closet. It’s compact but can hold more than you’d expect.

You can typically store:

• A queen mattress and bed frame
  
  

• A small dresser or nightstand
  
  

• Several boxes or plastic totes
  
  

• A bicycle, fan, or small appliances
  
  

This size is perfect for students, apartment renters, or anyone storing seasonal gear like winter tires or patio furniture.

10x10 Storage Unit (100 sq ft)

This is one of the most versatile sizes. It’s roughly half the size of a standard one-car garage.

You can fit:

• The contents of a 1-bedroom apartment
  
  

• A couch, chairs, and coffee table
  
  

• Multiple appliances, such as a washer/dryer set
  
  

• Dozens of boxes and bins
  
  

It’s ideal for families during renovations or for holding furniture between moves.

10x20 Storage Unit (200 sq ft)

This is a great option for long-term storage or a full household.

Expect to store:

• Contents of a 2 to 3-bedroom home
  
  

• Large appliances like refrigerators or deep freezers
  
  

• Full bedroom sets, dining table, and chairs
  
  

• Outdoor tools, lawnmowers, and even motorcycles
  
  

This is also a solid option for businesses that need inventory space or document archiving.
