What Size Storage Unit is Best for You?
Renting a storage unit usually starts when life gets too full. You’re rearranging the house for a renovation. A child is moving back in. The guest room needs to become an actual bedroom again. The garage is overflowing. Whatever the reason, it’s not about having too much. It’s about needing some room to think, move, and breathe.
At Personal Mini Storage, we get that. And we make it simple. We have a variety of storage units for all needs: whether it’s storing just a few personal items, temporarily housing your furniture during a renovation, or for larger-scale business needs. So, how do you know what storage size you’ll need? Keep reading to find out what size is best for you.
Small Units (5×5 or 5×10): Everyday Flexibility
These are the units for clearing out the hallway closet you haven’t opened since last year, for swapping out seasonal decorations, rotating wardrobes, or giving your startup business the room it needs to grow without losing the dining table in the process.
5×5 units are great for boxes, small furniture, decorations, or sports equipment.
5×10 gives you a bit more breathing room for things like a mattress, dresser, or business inventory.
Why this size works:
All units are on the ground floor. You can drive right up, unload fast, and get back to your day. No elevators. No slowdowns. Just easy access when you need it.
Medium Units (10×10 or 10×15): In the Middle of a Move
The 10×10 or 10×15 is for when the furniture arrives before the floors are finished. Or for when the lease ends before the new place is ready. Or for when you’re slowly moving instead of all at once. These units are big enough to hold multiple rooms, but not so big that you’ll lose track of what’s inside them..
10×10 holds bedroom sets, small living room furniture, boxes, and appliances.
10×15 fits larger items like sectionals, oversized TVs, or multiple rooms’ worth of belongings.
Why this size works:
Climate-controlled options protect furniture, electronics, and anything else that doesn’t play well with the Florida humidity.
Large Units (10×20 or 10×30): Making Room for Big Life Changes
Sometimes it’s more than just rearranging. You’re selling a house, clearing out an elderly parent’s home, or combining households. That’s when these units come in, built to handle it all. 10×20 fits a full home’s worth of furniture, appliances, and boxes.
10×30 gives you even more space to sort, store, and stay organized over time.
Why this size works:
With on-site truck rentals and moving supplies, you can manage everything in one stop. It gives you time to figure things out without making choices on the clock.
Vehicle & Outdoor Storage: Clear the Driveway Without Letting Go
You finally got the boat, or the trailer, or the Sunday driver you swore would stay in the garage. And now, you need somewhere secure to keep it all without sacrificing your driveway or enraging your HOA.
