Juggling too many things and need more space? A 10×15 storage unit could be your solution. When your house or office feels cramped, this unit offers a spacious and reliable place for your belongings.

Whether during a move, a home renovation, or a cleanup, the 10×15 self-storage unit gives you flexibility and space. It’s perfect for business inventory, seasonal items, or even an extra vehicle if it’s not too big.

How Big Is a 10×15 Storage Unit Rental?

  • Slightly larger than an average bedroom and about the size of a small one-car garage, a 10×15 offers 150 square feet of floor space.
  • Volume matters too; with an 8-foot ceiling, you get 1,200 cubic feet to stack, organize, and store belongings for short-term moves or long-term storage when downsizing or decluttering.

  • Furniture and Appliances: Can hold the contents of a two-bedroom home, including two king-sized bed frames, mattresses, dining tables, chairs, and large appliances like refrigerators, washers, and dryers.
  • Small Vehicles: Perfect for a motorcycle, scooter, or jet ski needing seasonal storage.
  • Boxes and Bins: Can fit at least 60 medium to large moving boxes, with enough room to move around. Ideal for families and businesses with mixed storage needs.

  • Moves and Renovations: Store multiple rooms’ contents during significant home renovations or relocations. Keeps items safe and out of the way until your home is ready.
  • Decluttering or Downsizing: Provides ample space to store items you’re not ready to part with but need out of your immediate living space.
  • Business Storage: Functions as a mini-warehouse for extra inventory, promotional materials, or equipment. Climate-controlled units are great for archiving documents and keeping your workspace tidy.
  • College Storage: Students can share a 10×15 storage space during summer breaks, reducing costs per square foot compared to renting a smaller unit individually.

Are 10×15 Storage Units Climate Controlled?

  • Climate control is key for storing sensitive items. Electronic devices, wood furniture, and important documents need a stable environment.
  • Not all 10×15 units are climate-controlled. Interior units are more likely to offer this amenity, while drive-up units might come at a higher cost.
  • Check for this amenity with the storage facility before renting.

Can a Car Fit in a 10×15 Storage Unit?

  • A storage unit size 10×20 or larger is recommended for vehicle storage.
  • A 10×15 unit offers 150 square feet of floor space, enough for smaller vehicles like motorcycles, compact cars, two-door models, or small hatchbacks.
  • Measure your car from bumper to bumper. Some small SUVs fit, but sedans might exceed the 15-foot depth. Consider extra space around the vehicle to avoid damage.
