Most people take one size too big because a photograph cannot tell you volume. Here is what actually fits, measured against real homes rather than a brochure.
Seasonal boxes, a bicycle, files, and a small chest of drawers. This is the size people rent while they decide, and it is often enough.
A bed, a sofa on its end, a dining set, and around fifteen boxes. Tight but honest, and the most common household unit we rent.
Everything from a two bedroom including white goods, with a walkway left down the middle so the back stays reachable.
A full house including garden equipment and a workbench, or a small business holding roughly four pallets with room to pick.
Four bedrooms, or a car with room to walk around it, or eight pallets racked two high. The largest unit we build.
Units are 8 ft 6 in to the ceiling. Stacking boxes to head height turns a 5×10 into most of a 10×10.
If you visit monthly, leave a corridor and rent one size up. If it is deep storage, pack it solid and save the money.
A sofa, a mattress, or a wardrobe decides the door width more often than the total volume does.
Send a photograph of the room to the office. We answer with a size and we are right most of the time.

Three storage facilities across the East Bay, run by the people who built them. Clean units, honest rates, and a gate that works at six in the morning.
