Storage unit sizes

We offer a range of unit sizes and configurations. Here is a general guide to what fits where, and our staff will help you pin it down.

Choosing a storage unit is mostly about two questions: how much are you storing, and how often will you need to get to it? Self Storageland has a range of unit sizes and configurations, from small spaces for a few boxes to larger units for the contents of a family home, plus climate-controlled units for items that do not like heat or humidity.

The categories below are a general guide only. Exact sizes and availability change, so the quickest way to find the right fit is to tell us what you are storing. Our staff will recommend a unit and send you a quote, with no obligation.

Small units

Small units suit people who need a little extra room rather than a whole spare garage. Think of the overflow from a cupboard or a single room.

  • A few boxes of files, books or keepsakes
  • Suitcases, seasonal clothing and holiday decorations
  • A bicycle, camping gear or sports equipment
  • Business documents or a small amount of stock

Medium units

Medium units are popular during moves and renovations, when the contents of a few rooms need to go somewhere safe for a while.

  • The furniture and boxes from a one-bedroom flat
  • A bedroom suite, couches and a dining set
  • Appliances such as a fridge and washing machine
  • Stock, display stands and equipment for a small business

Large units

Large units are for bigger jobs, such as storing a whole household between homes or keeping a business's equipment and stock in one place.

  • The contents of a family home
  • Large furniture, appliances and many boxes
  • Trade tools, equipment and materials
  • Pallets of stock or event equipment

Climate-controlled units

If you are storing items that are sensitive to heat, cold or humidity, such as wooden furniture, artwork, documents, electronics or musical instruments, ask about our climate-controlled storage.

Let us help you choose

Our storage size guide has practical tips for estimating your space, such as allowing room for a walkway and stacking boxes safely. If you are still unsure, describe your items in your quote request or call us, and we will recommend a size. You are also welcome to visit and look at units in person.
