5' x 7' Storage Unit Sizing and General Information

How Big is a 5' x 7' Self Storage Unit?

A 5' x 7' self storage unit offers 35 square feet of space, measuring 5 feet wide by 7 feet long. In some of our facilities, units come with high ceilings, enabling you to optimize your storage by using the vertical space. Comparable to the size of a walk-in closet, this unit is perfect for storing small furniture, multiple boxes, seasonal decorations, and personal items.

Can I Bring Shelving to Organize my Unit?

Absolutely! If you plan to store boxes, books, vinyl records, or similar items, using shelving units is a fantastic way to optimize your space. Just make sure that the shelves you choose fit comfortably inside your storage unit to make the most of the available room.

What's the Difference Between Indoor 5' x 7' Self Storage Units and Outdoor Units?

The key distinction between indoor and outdoor 5' x 7' self storage units lies in their accessibility and protection against environmental factors. At The Lock Up Self Storage, our indoor units are accessed through an interior hallway, offering better control over weather conditions and enhanced security, reducing risks associated with pests, climate changes, and unauthorized access. Conversely, outdoor units feature doors that open directly to the outside, making them more susceptible to environmental and security challenges. While some facilities provide outdoor storage for vehicles or boats, The Lock Up prioritizes indoor units to ensure your belongings stay safe and secure.

Do I Need a 5' x 7' Temperature Controlled Self Storage Unit?

Generally, opting for a 5' x 7' temperature-controlled storage unit is advantageous compared to standard units. While it may cost a bit more, the investment is worthwhile if you're storing valuable, antique, or sentimental items. Items like artwork, electronics, computers, books, musical instruments, textiles, clothing, wine, and wooden furniture benefit from a climate-controlled environment, which protects them from extreme temperatures and humidity.

Storage Capacity for a 5' x 7' Self Storage Unit

What Fits in a 5' x 7' Self Storage Unit?

A 5' x 7' self storage unit can accommodate the contents of a small room, including items like chairs, a compact desk, several medium-sized boxes, and personal belongings. If you're storing only moving boxes, you can fit approximately 15-20 boxes of different sizes. Utilizing strategic packing methods, such as stacking boxes and incorporating shelves, will help you maximize the available space.

Can a Bed Fit in a 5' x 7' Self Storage Unit?

A standard twin bed can fit into a 5' x 7' self storage unit, but larger beds like full, queen, or king sizes will not, due to the unit's width and length. When storing a twin bed, it's crucial to also consider the unit's height for accommodating additional items.

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

A 5' x 7' storage unit may not be adequate for storing the contents of a one-bedroom apartment, especially if you have numerous pieces of furniture. It could accommodate the belongings of a small studio apartment or a single room, but it's essential to take measurements beforehand. For larger items or a greater number of possessions, opting for a larger storage unit would be more appropriate.

Pricing and Availability for 5' x 7' Self Storage Units

What is the Average Price of a 5' x 7' Self Storage Unit?

The price of a 5' x 7' self storage unit can vary based on location and availability. Climate-controlled units typically cost more, and prices may differ between indoor and outdoor access. However, it's crucial to remember that with self storage, you get what you pay for. To learn more about The Lock Up's affordable leasing options, contact us today or visit our location-specific pages.
