Storage Unit Size Guide

Sunset Storage Centers in Payson, UT offers 14 unit sizes from a 5'×10' closet-sized space to a 13'×40' commercial-scale unit. Use this guide to pick the size that fits your stuff — not the other way around.

How do I pick the right storage unit size?

Match the unit to the floor space of the rooms you're storing: a single closet's worth of boxes fits in a 5×10 (50 sq ft), a one-bedroom apartment fits in a 10×10 (100 sq ft), a two-bedroom home fits in a 10×20 (200 sq ft), and a three- to four-bedroom home or commercial inventory fits in a 13×25 or larger. When in doubt, size up by one tier — it's cheaper than renting two units. Call (866) 714-6277 for a personal recommendation.
