Moving? Downsizing or remodeling? There are decisions to make, logistical challenges to resolve, and emotional hurdles to overcome \u2013 and that\u2019s often just the beginning. In many cases, it makes sense to rent a storage unit<\/a> for the short- or long-term as you become clearer on what you want to access quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At CubeSmart, our most popular storage unit size is the classic\n10-foot x 10-foot. With an 8-foot ceiling, these units offer 800 cubic square\nfeet of storage space \u2013 perfect for the contents of a small apartment, or any\nnumber of items you need to relocate during a downsizing.\nIf you find that hard to visualize, check out our 10×10 Storage Unit Size Guide<\/a> video for a 3-D rendering that might help you\nbetter understand the capacity \u2013 and capabilities \u2013 of our 10×10 units. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A. <\/strong>10×10 storage unit can fit the contents of a 1-bedroom apartment (or 2 office suites), including a mattress, refrigerator, washer\/dryer, furniture, and personal items. You can also store holiday decorations, sports gear, or seasonal clothes \u2013 all items you might want to hang on to during downsizing, but perhaps won\u2019t have room for in your new digs.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q.\nCan I store lawn equipment and gardening supplies in a 10×10 storage unit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A.<\/strong> Absolutely. If you end up in a home without a garage but want to keep your lawn and garden supplies handy, a 10×10 unit would suit you well. Many of the available options at CubeSmart offer drive-up access, which can be especially useful if you\u2019re moving heavy items or equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q.\nCan a jet ski fit in a 10×10 storage unit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A. <\/strong>Yes, 10×10 storage units are perfect for small vehicles. Many of our customers who are retiring and downsizing use 10×10 spaces to store their jet skis, snowmobiles, and ATVs. Be sure to drain the gasoline and oil before storing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q.\nCan a bike or motorcycle fit in a 10×10 storage unit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A. <\/strong>Smaller sized storage units are well-suited for all types of bikes. If you are only storing outdoor gear, you might also choose to store it in a non-climate-controlled unit. These units cost less than climate-controlled units and can be a great solution for storing items that aren\u2019t affected by temperature or humidity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q.\nDo I need a storage truck for a 10×10 storage unit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A. <\/strong>According to our facility managers, customers who rent a 10×10 storage unit often find a 12-foot truck is just the right size to transport their items. Many CubeSmart locations offer the use of a moving truck at no cost, so be sure to ask about availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q.\nDo I need a climate-controlled 10×10 storage unit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A. <\/strong>A lot of people want to store personal mementos, special clothing pieces, and decorative objects that they plan on passing down or selling. These types of items most definitely need climate-controlled storage, along with musical instruments, glassware, cosmetics, and other sometimes surprising items. If you\u2019re considering storing lawn mowers, patio furniture or gardening equipment on the other hand, you can get away with non-climate-controlled units. Check out our recent blog on things that need climate-controlled storage<\/a> for more info. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. How should I best organize a 10×10 storage unit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A. <\/strong>There are many ways to organize a 10×10 storage unit. We recommend planning in advance how your items will fit in the unit. (Be sure to leave room for an aisle in the center.) Many of our customers use freestanding shelves to maximize vertical space. You can also try storing your mattresses or sofas on end. Any items that you plan on accessing frequently should be stored near the front of the unit.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\ntypes of boxes or containers should I use in a 10×10 storage unit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A. <\/strong>We generally recommend either stackable plastic bins or cardboard boxes for storage. Always put the heaviest bins and boxes on the bottom and be sure to label them on all sides. If you\u2019re planning on storing something a bit more delicate, look for specialty boxes (including acid-free versions) and breathable containers. If you\u2019re in need of brand new, clean and sturdy boxes, all CubeSmart locations sell boxes of all sizes, along with packing tape and other moving supplies.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q.\nDo 10×10 storage units come with lights or shelves? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A. <\/strong>The 10×10 storage units at CubeSmart are completely empty on the inside \u2013 ready for your creative touch! In addition to using freestanding shelves, it might be useful to add battery-powered lights to your unit. Another option is to bring a battery-powered lantern or flashlight with you when you plan on spending any amount of time in the unit or are searching for something particular.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q.\nHow many boxes can a 10×10 storage unit fit? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A.<\/strong> A 10-x10 storage unit can hold around 200 file boxes. It\u2019s always a good idea to use pallets or 2x4s to make sure they\u2019re up off of the floor \u2013 especially if you use cardboard boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re not sure a 10×10 storage space offers ample room for all of the items you need to store, come by your local CubeSmart and take a look. If it ends up not being large enough, or if you decide you need climate-controlled storage instead of non-climate controlled, you can always upgrade units. We\u2019ll work with you to find just the right solution for today and into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
