How to Choose the Right Storage Unit Size

A good rule of thumb: a 5×10 holds a small bedroom's worth of items, a 10×10 fits a 1–2 bedroom apartment, a 10×15 handles a 2–3 bedroom home, and a 10×20 or 10×30 works for a full 3–4 bedroom house, vehicles, boats, or business equipment. All units at our Covington, LA facility are enclosed, non-climate-controlled drive-up storage units with roll-up doors — you pull your vehicle right up to the door.

5×10 (50 SF)

Standard Unit — Drive-Up Access

Think of a 5×10 as a large walk-in closet — about the size of a small bedroom without any wall space taken up by windows or doors. It's the perfect starter unit for anyone who needs to free up space at home without committing to something large and expensive.

This size is ideal for a single room's worth of belongings, sporting gear, seasonal items, and boxes of household goods. Everything can be stacked efficiently to take full advantage of the vertical space.

Boxes & bins (15–20 medium boxes)
Bikes and sports equipment
Seasonal décor & holiday bins

If you're doing a full home clear-out, moving across state, or need a vehicle stored alongside household goods, this is the unit for you. The drive-up access allows you to back a full-size moving truck directly to the door.

10×30 (300 SF) Premium

💡 Think of it as two 10×15 units combined into one — with two separate roll-up doors.

The 10×30 is our largest and most versatile unit. Structurally, it's the equivalent of two side-by-side 10×15 units with a shared interior — meaning you get two individual roll-up doors, giving you easy access to the front half, the back half, or both at once. No more digging through everything to reach what's in the back.

With 300 square feet of floor space and the equivalent depth of a two-car garage, this unit is built for people and businesses that don't mess around when it comes to storage needs.
