Is 5 x 5 enough?

A reliable business storage solution is essential for several key reasons.

It can lead to significant cost savings: By utilizing a storage unit for your products, inventory, or tools you reduce the expenses associated with leasing additional office or warehouse space. 

It promotes better organization: Having a designated storage space consolidates your business materials in one location, making it simpler to locate items quickly and maintain accurate inventory counts.  

It enhances security: Storing your assets off-site in a secure facility minimizes the risk of them being damaged or stolen at your primary business location. 

Great for startups: Self-storage for e-commerce is a great place to start scaling your business without sacrificing your own personal space. It is perfect for eBay inventory storage or a startup selling things from Etsy that need storage solutions.  

Storage lockers usually come in sizes such as 5x5 (25 sq. ft.), 5x10 (50 sq. ft.), 10x10 (100 sq. ft.), 10x15 (150 sq. ft.), and 10x20 (200 sq. ft.) or larger. These sizes range from small closet-like spaces to units that can fit the contents of a multi-bedroom home.

A 5x5 unit is similar in size to a small walk-in closet. It can hold small furniture, a few boxes, and personal items like seasonal clothes, toys, or documents. This is ideal for people needing to store just a few items or clear out extra clutter.

Yes, a 10x10 storage unit is about the size of an average bedroom and can hold the contents of a one-bedroom apartment, including couches, chairs, dressers, and a few appliances or medium-sized boxes.

Storage units vary in height, typically around 8-10 feet tall. If you plan to store tall items or stack boxes, take advantage of vertical space. Make sure your items can safely be stacked without damaging anything at the bottom.

It's a good idea to leave a little extra space for moving around inside the unit or for adding new items later. Packing the unit too tightly can make it difficult to retrieve items without rearranging everything.

We understand that your needs may change over time. So long as there is a unit available to move into, we would be happy to increase or decrease the size of the unit. Just speak to someone at your store and they will work with you to make sure you have what you need.
