10x20 Storage Units

10x20 Storage Units


A 10x20 storage unit provides 200 square feet of floor space, matching the size of a standard one-car garage. With 8-foot ceilings, you have 1,600 cubic feet of stackable volume. It is our most popular size for families transitioning between full-sized homes or businesses needing off-site inventory space.

When you need even more space than a 10x15 but don't require a massive garage-sized unit, a 10x20 storage unit is the perfect choice. Offering ample space to store the contents of a larger home, business inventory, or recreational equipment, this unit size strikes the right balance between size, cost, and flexibility.

A 10x20 storage unit offers 200 square feet of floor space, which is equivalent to the size of a one-car garage. This unit is built for massive volume. It is designed to hold the contents of a three-to-four bedroom home.
