If you live in a space that’s 800 square feet or less, a 10x10 storage unit should work well for your needs. However, if your fully furnished home is larger than 800 square feet, you might consider one of our larger units.
How many boxes can fit in a 10' x 10' storage unit?
The number of boxes that will fit inside a 10’ x 10’ storage unit depends upon the box sizes.
For example, you might be able to store between 100 and 144 medium-size boxes measuring 20 inches by 20 inches each inside this unit. However, make sure to leave an aisle in your unit to access boxes in the back, and allow enough space for the unit door to close easily.
What’s the best way to pack a 10 x 10 storage unit?
To maximize storage space in your 10x10 storage unit, consider installing shelving units that allow you to stack items vertically. You can generally stack boxes on top of each other more easily if you use the same standard box size for your items.
Place covers on furniture to prevent dust buildup and scratches. Also, label and create an inventory of all of your items to stay organized.

For safety and legal purposes, you are not allowed to store certain items in our 10 x 10 storage units. Examples of prohibited items include flammable materials, liquids, paints, anything stolen or illegal, weapons, money, food, and tires.
We also don’t recommend renting a 10x10 storage unit to store your car because even the most compact cars will struggle to fit inside.
What size moving truck should I rent for a 10 x 10 storage unit?
You can likely rent a 15-foot moving truck to transport your belongings to store in a 10x10 unit. However, it’s a smart idea to compile and measure your items before renting a truck so that you aren’t caught off-guard on moving day.
Bring in your receipt from any truck rental company, and we’ll reimburse you up to $100 for your truck rental.
