5' x 12'' Storage Unit Sizing and General Information

How Big is a 5' x 12' Self Storage Unit?

A 5' x 12' self-storage unit provides 60 square feet of space, offering more room than a small walk-in closet. It's perfect for storing the contents of a studio apartment or a few small rooms. You can easily fit a twin mattress, a small dresser, boxes, and other household items. This unit is an excellent choice for seasonal storage, extra business inventory, or keeping your home clutter-free without taking up much space.

Can I Bring Shelving to Organize my Unit?

Absolutely! Shelving units are an excellent way to maximize your storage space for items like boxes, books, vinyl records, and more. Just make sure to choose shelves that fit properly in your storage unit. This method keeps everything organized and easily accessible.

What's the Difference Between Indoor 5' x 12' Self Storage Units and Outdoor Units?

The key difference between indoor and outdoor 5' x 12' self-storage units is in their accessibility and level of protection. Indoor units are located within a building, accessed through interior hallways, providing enhanced security and shielding from weather conditions. This setup minimizes risks from pests, extreme temperatures, and unauthorized access. On the other hand, outdoor units open directly to the outside, offering the convenience of drive-up access but with more exposure to weather and potential security concerns. Indoor units offer superior safety and climate control for your belongings.

Do I Need a 5' x 12' Temperature Controlled Self Storage Unit?

Opting for a 5' x 12' temperature-controlled storage unit is a smart choice for storing items that are sensitive to temperature and humidity. This compact 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 shields your belongings from damage caused by extreme temperatures and moisture, keeping them in excellent condition throughout the year. If your items are susceptible to environmental changes, investing in a temperature-controlled unit is a wise decision.

What Fits in a 5' x 12' Self Storage Unit?

A 5' x 12' self-storage unit provides 60 square feet of space, similar to a large walk-in closet. It's perfect for storing the contents of a studio apartment or several rooms' worth of belongings. You can easily fit a twin bed, a small dresser, chairs, and a few larger appliances like a compact refrigerator or microwave. There's also plenty of room for boxes, seasonal items, sports equipment, or office supplies. This unit is ideal for those needing space during a move, for seasonal storage, or to declutter a home or office.

Can a Bed Fit in a 5' x 12' Self Storage Unit?

Yes, a bed can easily fit in a 5' x 12' self-storage unit. This space can accommodate a twin, full-size, or even a queen-size bed, including the mattress and frame, along with additional items. With careful organization, you can also store a small dresser, several boxes, or other compact furniture. If you're storing a larger bed, such as a king size, disassembling the frame may be necessary to make sure everything fits comfortably.
