2' x 10' Storage Unit Sizing and General Information

How Big is a 2' x 10' Self Storage Unit?

A 2' x 10' self storage unit measures 2 feet wide by 10 feet long, providing you with a total of 20 square feet of storage space. Despite its smaller footprint, some of our facilities offer units with high ceilings, allowing you to maximize your storage capacity by utilizing vertical space. Our 2' x 10' self storage unit is similar in size to a small hallway or a compact storage closet, making it ideal for storing items such as seasonal decorations, boxes of personal items, or narrow pieces of furniture.

Can I Bring Shelving to Organize my Unit?

Absolutely! If you're planning to store boxes, books, vinyl records, or other items that fit well on shelving units, having shelves available is an excellent way to maximize your space. Just be sure that any shelving units you choose will fit comfortably inside your storage unit.

What’s the Difference Between Indoor 2' x 10' Self Storage Units and Outdoor Units?

The difference between indoor and outdoor 2' x 10' self storage units primarily lies in how they are accessed and their level of protection against environmental factors. At The Lock Up Self Storage, our indoor 2' x 10' units are accessible from within the building, through a hallway. This provides enhanced control over weather conditions and improved security, reducing risks associated with pests, climate changes, and unauthorized access. In contrast, outdoor units have doors that open directly to the outside, which may expose them to more environmental and security challenges. While some facilities use outdoor storage for vehicles or boats, The Lock Up prioritizes indoor units to ensure your belongings are well-protected.

Do I Need a 2' x 10' Temperature Controlled Self Storage Unit?

In most cases, it's better to use a 2' x 10' temperature-controlled storage unit than a traditional unit. Although some facilities may charge a bit more for this feature, it’s worthwhile if you're storing items that are valuable, antique, or hold sentimental value. Items such as artwork, electronics, computers, books, musical instruments, textiles or clothing, wine, and wooden furniture should be kept in a climate-controlled environment to protect them from extreme temperatures and humidity.

Storage Capacity for a 2' x 10' Self Storage Unit

What Fits in a 2' x 10' Self Storage Unit?

In a 2' x 10' self storage unit, you can fit the contents of a small room or a compact collection of items. This space is suitable for storing several small to medium-sized boxes, a narrow bookshelf, vinyl records, seasonal decorations, or a few pieces of narrow furniture. If you're using the unit primarily for moving boxes, you can expect to fit up to 10-15 boxes of varying sizes. By using strategic packing techniques, such as stacking boxes and utilizing vertical space, you can make the most out of your storage unit.

Can a Bed Fit in a 2' x 10' Self Storage Unit?

A standard bed, such as a twin or a narrow daybed, can fit in a 2' x 10' self storage unit. However, larger beds like Queen or King size will not fit due to the narrow width of the unit. When considering bed storage, ensure the width and length of the bed do not exceed the 2-foot width of the storage unit. For larger beds, a wider storage unit would be necessary.

Is This the Right Storage Size for a One-Bedroom Apartment?

A 2' x 10' storage unit is generally not suitable for storing the contents of a one-bedroom apartment. This size is better suited for storing smaller items such as boxes, seasonal decorations, or a narrow piece of furniture. If you have a lot of furniture or larger items, you will need a larger storage unit. For smaller spaces, like a studio apartment with minimal furniture, it may fit, but it's important to take measurements beforehand to ensure you have enough room. It's better to have extra space in your unit than to overstuff it.

Pricing and Availability for 2' x 10' Self Storage Units

What is the Average Price of a 2' x 10' Self Storage Unit?

The price for a 2' x 10' self storage unit will vary based on location and availability. Temperature controlled storage units are generally more expensive, and pricing can also differ between indoor and outdoor access. However, it's important to remember that with self storage, you get what you pay for.
