How Much Will Fit?
How do you really know how large a storage unit you need? The table below will help determine what size storage space you’ll need. Remember, Mesa Storage unit ceiling heights are a minimum of 8 ft. with a 9 1/2 ft. center height so that will affect how much your particular space can hold. In addition, some items (such as boxes) use the space more efficiently than irregularly-shaped objects that aren’t as easy to stack. These suggested sizes are based on a typical mix of boxes and odd-shaped items.
Cubic Footage of Your Items / Recommended Unit Size
- 0-200 cu. ft. /5 ft. x 5 ft.
- 201-400 cu. ft./ 5 ft. x 10 ft.
- 401-800 cu. ft. / 10 ft. x 10 ft.
- 801-1,250 cu. ft. /10 ft. x 15 ft.
- 1,251-1,600 cu. ft. /10 ft. x 20 ft.
- 1,600-2500 cu. ft. / 8 x 40 ft
