5x10 Storage Units in Clarkston, MI
A smart small-unit option. Fits a studio apartment, dorm, or small move. Climate-controlled and drive-up 5x10 units on Dixie Hwy, five minutes off I-75. Month-to-month with first month free for qualifying new renters.
What Fits in a 5x10 Storage Unit?
A 5x10 is 50 square feet with roughly 400 cubic feet of storage. It's the size most renters pick when a 5x5 is too small but a 10x10 is more than they need.
Most renters use a 5x10 to hold:
- The contents of a studio apartment or small dorm
- A mattress set, dresser, small couch, TV, and 10 to 15 boxes
- A motorcycle, dirt bike, or scooter plus gear
- Seasonal items and household overflow
- Business inventory or records for a small office
Easy way to picture it: a walk-in closet or half a single-car garage.
Climate-Controlled or Drive-Up?
We offer 5x10 units in both configurations. The right choice depends on what you're storing.
Pick climate-controlled if you're storing:
- Furniture, electronics, or valuables
- Documents, photos, or books
- Clothing and bedding
- A mattress set you plan to reuse
- Anything sensitive to Michigan's humidity and temperature swings
Pick drive-up if you're storing:
- A motorcycle or small recreational vehicle
- Tools, seasonal gear, plastic bins
- Items you'll load and unload frequently
Our 5x10 climate-controlled units are drive-up accessible too, which is unusual at this size.

Common Questions About 5x10 Storage
Will a 5x10 fit a studio apartment?
Yes. A 5x10 comfortably fits a studio's contents: a mattress set, dresser, small couch, TV, and 10 to 15 boxes. If you have a larger studio or a lot of extra furniture, a 10x10 gives you breathing room.
Can I fit a motorcycle in a 5x10?
Yes. Most motorcycles, dirt bikes, and scooters fit in a 5x10 with gear alongside. A large touring bike may need a 5x10 with no other items, or a 10x10 for full comfort.
What's the difference between a 5x10 and a 5x5?
A 5x10 is twice the square footage of a 5x5. A 5x5 handles closet overflow and small items; a 5x10 handles a studio or a small room of furniture.
Is a 5x10 big enough for a college student's dorm?
Yes. A 5x10 holds a typical dorm load (mini-fridge, microwave, bedding, clothes, books, small furniture) with room for another student to share the space if needed.
Do I need to bring my own lock?
You can bring your own disc lock or buy one in our office for about $15. We recommend a high-quality disc lock rather than a standard padlock for better security.
How long can I rent a 5x10?
Month-to-month with no long-term contract. Stay one month, stay for years. Give us 10 days written notice when you're ready to move out.
