5' x 11'' Storage Unit Sizing and General Information

How Big is a 5' x 11' Self Storage Unit?

A 5' x 11' self storage unit offers 55 square feet of functional storage space. Comparable to a spacious walk-in closet, this size is perfect for storing the contents of a small studio apartment or a few rooms. You can easily fit items such as a mattress, dresser, chairs, small appliances, and several boxes. It's an ideal solution for those looking to store seasonal items, business supplies, or to free up space at home without taking up too much room.

Can I Bring Shelving to Organize my Unit?

Absolutely! Shelving units are an excellent way to maximize your space when storing items such as boxes, books, vinyl records, and other similar belongings. Make sure to select shelves that fit comfortably in your storage unit. This method keeps everything organized and easily accessible.

What's the Difference Between Indoor 5' x 11' Self Storage Units and Outdoor Units?

The key difference between indoor and outdoor 5' x 11' self storage units is in their accessibility and the level of protection they offer. Indoor units are located within a building and accessed via interior hallways, providing better security and protection from the weather. This setup helps minimize risks from pests, extreme temperatures, and unauthorized access. In contrast, outdoor units open directly to the outside, making them more susceptible to weather and potential security issues. While outdoor units offer the convenience of drive-up access, indoor units ensure better safety and climate control for your belongings.

Do I Need a 5' x 11' Temperature Controlled Self Storage Unit?

Choosing a 5' x 11' temperature-controlled storage unit is a smart choice for storing items that are sensitive to temperature and humidity. This spacious unit is ideal for protecting valuables such as electronics, artwork, important documents, photographs, and delicate clothing. Although it may come at a slightly higher cost, the climate-controlled environment safeguards your belongings from extreme temperatures and moisture, keeping them in excellent condition year-round. If your items are prone to environmental damage, investing in a temperature- controlled unit is a wise decision.
