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.

Heads up: a 5x10 won't fit a one-bedroom apartment with appliances. For that, go to a 10x10.

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.
