Choosing the right storage unit size is one of the most important decisions when renting self-storage. Too small and you struggle to fit everything. Too large and you are paying for space you do not use. At Forward Storage, we want every customer to find the perfect fit the first time — saving you time, money, and unnecessary trips back and forth.

Small Units: 5×5 and 5×10

A 5×5 unit is about the size of a large closet and works perfectly for seasonal items, holiday decorations, sporting equipment, or a few boxes. If you need a bit more room — perhaps the contents of a small bedroom or a studio apartment’s overflow — a 5×10 gives you the extra depth to store a mattress, small furniture pieces, and boxes stacked neatly.

Medium Units: 10×10 and 10×15

The 10×10 unit is consistently our most popular size. It holds the equivalent of a furnished one- to two-bedroom home, including a couch, dining table, appliances, and multiple box stacks. A 10×15 offers additional room for two- to three-bedroom households during a move or renovation. It is also a popular choice for small businesses managing inventory and equipment.

Large Units: 10×20 and 10×30

For full household moves, business inventory, or vehicle-adjacent storage needs, our 10×20 and 10×30 units deliver maximum capacity. A 10×20 holds the furnishings of a three- to four-bedroom home, while a 10×30 — roughly the size of a two-car garage — accommodates large commercial equipment, multi-room households, or long-term archive storage.
