Figuring out the size of a self storage unit
Although there will be variations depending on the facility, units designed for self storage in Lubbock range from 5 x 10 feet up to 20 foot square and almost all of them have an 8 foot clear ceiling height which allows people to use a unit to store their RV during the off-season. Some units are climate controlled which is a necessity if the unit will be used to store art work or leather furniture, anything that can be damaged with variable temperatures.
A 5 x 10 foot unit is about the size of a walk-in closet; at 50 square feet you can store a mattress, chair, sofa, dresser and a few boxes and miscellaneous small items. The next size unit is 10 x 10 feet, at 100 square feet this is about half the size of a typical one car garage. This size unit can normally hold all the contents of a single bedroom apartment which is typically three rooms of mixed furnishings plus boxes and in some cases, appliances.
A 150 square foot unit; 10 x 15 feet will comfortably hold the contents of a two bedroom apartment or the contents of a small house. Everything in dwellings of this nature, including appliances will comfortably fit in a unit of this size. A 10 x 20 foot unit; 200 square feet will hold everything that would normally be found in a mid size house, apartment or condo.
