How to Choose the Right Size Storage Unit for My Stuff

Tips from Sunrise Self Storage – Your Local Self Storage in Washington, Utah

If you're planning a move, clearing out space at home, or just need a secure spot for seasonal gear, one of the biggest questions you might be asking is: "What size storage unit do I need?" At Sunrise Self Storage, we’re here to make that decision easier.

Step 1: Take Inventory

Start by listing everything you plan to store. Are you storing a few boxes and seasonal decorations, or do you need to pack away furniture and large appliances? The more detailed your list, the better you'll be able to estimate space.

Step 2: Know the Standard Unit Sizes

Here are some of the most common sizes we offer at Sunrise Self Storage in Washington, Utah — and what typically fits in each:

  • 10x10 Unit – Ideal for the contents of a one-bedroom apartment. Think of this as a large walk-in closet.

  • 10x15 Unit – Great for two-bedroom homes, including furniture, appliances, and lots of boxes.

  • 10x20 Unit – Can handle a small house worth of belongings or a vehicle.

  • 14x30 Unit – Perfect for large equipment, boats, or an entire household’s contents.

Step 3: Think About Accessibility

If you’ll need to access your items regularly, leave space to walk in and out. Stack items vertically and place frequently used items near the front. This might mean choosing a slightly larger, affordable storage unit near Washington, Utah, to keep everything accessible.

Step 4: Ask the Experts
