5' x 6' Storage Unit Sizing and General Information

How Big is a 5' x 6' Self Storage Unit?

A 5' x 6' self storage unit measures 5 feet wide by 6 feet long, providing you with a total of 30 square feet of storage space. Some of our facilities offer units with high ceilings, allowing you to maximize your storage capacity by utilizing vertical space. This unit is similar in size to a large closet, making it ideal for storing items such as small furniture, several boxes, seasonal decorations, and personal items.

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 5' x 6' Self Storage Units and Outdoor Units?

The primary difference between indoor and outdoor 5' x 6' self storage units is their accessibility and protection against environmental factors. At The Lock Up Self Storage, our indoor 5' x 6' units are accessed from within the building via a hallway. This setup provides superior control over weather conditions and enhanced security, minimizing risks from pests, climate changes, and unauthorized access. In contrast, outdoor units have doors that open directly to the outside, making them more vulnerable to environmental and security issues. While some facilities offer outdoor storage for vehicles or boats, The Lock Up focuses on indoor units to ensure your belongings remain well-protected.

Do I Need a 5' x 6' Temperature Controlled Self Storage Unit?

In most cases, using a 5' x 6' temperature-controlled storage unit is beneficial compared to traditional units. Although there may be a slight increase in cost, it's worth it if you're storing valuable, antique, or sentimental items. Items such as artwork, electronics, computers, books, musical instruments, textiles, clothing, wine, and wooden furniture should be stored in a climate-controlled environment to protect them from extreme temperatures and humidity.

Storage Capacity for a 5' x 6' Self Storage Unit

What Fits in a 5' x 6' Self Storage Unit?

In a 5' x 6' self storage unit, you can fit the contents of a small room. This includes small furniture like chairs, a small desk, several medium- sized boxes, and some personal items. If you're only storing moving boxes, you can expect to fit around 15-20 boxes of varying sizes. Strategic packing techniques, such as stacking boxes and using shelves, can help you make the most out of your storage space.

Can a Bed Fit in a 5' x 6' Self Storage Unit?

A standard twin bed can fit in a 5' x 6' self storage unit, but larger beds like full, queen, or king sizes will not fit due to the width and length of the unit. If you're storing a twin bed, it's important to consider the height of the unit for additional items.

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

A 5' x 6' storage unit may not be sufficient for storing the contents of a one-bedroom apartment, especially if you have a lot of furniture. It might fit the contents of a small studio apartment or a room, but taking measurements beforehand is crucial. For larger items or more belongings, a larger storage unit would be more suitable.

Pricing and Availability for 5' x 6' Self Storage Units

What is the Average Price of a 5' x 6' Self Storage Unit?

The cost of a 5' x 6' self storage unit varies depending on location and availability. Climate-controlled units generally come at a higher price, and there can be differences in pricing between indoor and outdoor access. However, it's important to keep in mind that with self storage, you get what you pay for.
