Recommended Unit Size vs Rate per Square Foot
Choosing a Storage Unit Size
A general rule is that one room of furniture needs about 50 square feet of storage space (assuming standard 8-foot ceilings in the unit).
Guideline
Square Feet = Rooms x 50
Common unit sizes: 5x5 (25 sq ft, closet), 5x10 (50, half room), 10x10 (100, 2 rooms), 10x15 (150, 3 rooms), 10x20 (200, 4 rooms), 10x30 (300, full house).
Example Calculation
Storing 3 rooms of furniture at $1.50/sq ft/month.
- 01Space needed = 3 x 50 = 150 sq ft
- 02Rounded up = 150 sq ft (10x15 unit)
- 03Monthly cost = 150 x $1.50 = $225
- 04Annual cost = $225 x 12 = $2,700
