Work out your size
The rooms you are storing decide the size.
Not sure? Most of the units here are the 10 × 10: a one bedroom apartment, furniture included, $85 per month.
Every size, drawn
The sizes we rent, drawn to scale
Looking straight down at the floor, with the door at the left. Every plan is drawn to the same scale: the 10 × 20 has 4 times the floor of the 5 × 10.

And a sofa, 7 feet.
These are floor plans: width and depth. We have not published an inside height, so if you are stacking to the ceiling, ask us first.
What a square foot costs
Our arithmetic, if you want to check it
The price divided by the floor area, for every size we rent. It is the sum most people do in their head halfway down a page like this one.
| Size | Floor | Price per month | Per sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5x10 | 50 sq ft | $45 | $0.90 |
| 10x10 | 100 sq ft | $85 | $0.85 |
| 10x15 | 150 sq ft | $120 | $0.80 |
| 10x20 | 200 sq ft | $170 | $0.85 |
The cheapest square foot is usually not the right unit. A bigger space you half fill costs more every month than the smaller one you needed.
