Not sure what size storage unit you need? You’re not alone. At Cheswold Storage, we offer three unit sizes to fit a wide range of needs: 5×8, 8×10, and 8×20, all non-climate controlled and accessible 24/7.
Whether you’re storing seasonal items or moving into a new home, here’s a breakdown to help you choose the right fit.
5×8 Storage Unit – Ideal for Small Loads
This compact unit is great for:
- Boxes, luggage, or seasonal decorations
- Office supplies or small shelving
- A few pieces of furniture, like a nightstand and chair
Think of it like a walk-in closet. Perfect for students, minimalists, or anyone looking to declutter a small space.
8×10 Storage Unit – A Great Mid-Size Option
Need a bit more space? This unit fits:
- The contents of a one-bedroom apartment
- Mattresses, sofas, dressers, and appliances
- Business inventory or tools
This size works well for short-term moves, downsizing, or long-term storage of personal or business items.
8×20 Storage Unit – Our Largest Option
When you need to store a whole household, this is the one:
- Furniture from a 2-3 bedroom home
- Large items like refrigerators, couches, and wardrobes
- Bulky equipment, file cabinets, or retail stock
It’s roughly the size of a one-car garage and offers flexibility for families, businesses, or anyone with larger storage needs.
Helpful Tips Before You Rent
- Make an inventory of what you plan to store
- Use uniform boxes to stack efficiently
- Leave walkways inside the unit for easy access
- Label everything so you’re not guessing later
