What size storage unit do you need for a 2 bedroom house? Here's what we recommend. A 10x15 storage unit is ideal—that's 150 square feet. Houses come with way more stuff than apartments, and a 10x15 handles it all. What fits in a 10x15 storage unit: All indoor furniture (beds, couch, dining set) Major appliances Outdoor items (patio furniture, grills, lawn mowers) Garage belongings Yard equipment Seasonal decorations The key difference: You're storing a home, not just an apartment. That means outdoor space items like yard equipment, grills, and patio furniture that apartment dwellers don't have. Need more room? If you've got lots of outdoor furniture or want to store a vehicle too, step up to a 10x20 for extra space and flexibility. Whether you're between homes, renovating, or downsizing, the 10x15 gives you enough room for a full 2 bedroom house without paying for space you don't need. Drop your zip in the comments and we'll show you available 10x15 units near you. #selfstorage #housestorage #movingtips #storagesolutions #extraspacestorage

What size storage unit do you need for a car? You'll be surprised how little space it actually takes to keep a car safe. A 10x20 storage unit is the standard size for most cars. That's 200 square feet—about the size of most one-car garages. It fits sedans, SUVs, and most pickup trucks. Here's your car storage size guide: Compact cars (like Ford Fiesta): 10x15 unit saves you money Most cars (sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks): 10x20 standard size Larger vehicles (Ford F-150, commercial vans): 10x25 or 10x30 for comfortable fit Storage unit features for cars: Most have 8-foot ceilings Drive-up access for easy in-and-out Enough room to open doors Pro tip: Before you rent, measure your car's length, width, and height. Don't forget to account for side mirrors and the space you'll need to open your doors to get in and out. Whether you're storing a daily driver during a move, protecting a classic car, or keeping a seasonal vehicle safe, knowing the right size helps you avoid paying for space you don't need.

Can you work on a car in a storage unit? At Extra Space Storage, we don't allow customers to use storage units as workshops to work on cars. This includes major repairs, oil changes, engine work, or anything that involves tools, fumes, or mess. It comes down to safety and liability—gas fumes, fire hazards, and spills create risk for everyone at the facility. What you CAN'T do: Major repairs or engine work Oil changes Work that involves tools, fumes, or mess Use the unit as a workshop space What you CAN do: Store your car and access it anytime Minor checks like topping off fluids Charging the battery Always check with your local facility first If you're looking for a place to wrench on your project car, a traditional garage or dedicated workshop space is your best bet. But if you need a safe place to store your car, truck, RV, or motorcycle, storage units offer secure, accessible options. Need a safe place to store your car? Drop your zip in the comments and we'll show you vehicle storage options near you. #carstorage #vehiclestorage #storagetips #selfstorage #extraspacestorage

What's the typical height of a storage unit? Most storage units have ceilings around 8 feet tall—that's the standard at Extra Space Storage locations. But the real secret is knowing how to stack it, not just measure it. That height gives you enough space to stack boxes, furniture, and appliances to maximize every square foot of your unit. Here's what you need to know about storage unit heights: Standard height: 8 feet tall at most locations Some locations offer higher ceilings for tall vehicles or oversized items Big cities may have reduced height units or lockers under 8 feet Use vertical space: stack heavier boxes on bottom, lighter on top Leave a walkway down the middle so you can access items without unpacking everything Smart stacking strategy turns an 8-foot ceiling into maximum storage capacity. Whether you're storing household furniture, business inventory, or vehicle equipment, understanding your vertical space helps you fit more while keeping everything accessible. Want to know the ceiling height at facilities near you? Drop your zip in the comments and we'll pull up your options. #storageunits #storagetips #selfstorage #storagespace #extraspacestorage

Is climate-controlled storage worth it? Here's what you need to know. Climate controlled storage keeps your unit between 55 and 80 degrees year-round, protecting your belongings from extreme heat, cold, and humidity. You'll want climate control if you're storing: • Electronics (TVs, computers) • Wooden furniture • Leather couches • Clothing and fabrics • Musical instruments • Photos, documents, or artwork • Collectibles Without climate control, these items can warp, crack, fade, or develop mold. Climate control is especially important if you live somewhere with extreme temperatures (below freezing or above 90 degrees) or high humidity areas like the South. When you don't need climate control: • Holiday decorations • Sports equipment • Non-wooden furniture • Basic household items Climate controlled units are indoor spaces that add an extra layer of comfort and security, keeping your belongings protected year-round. If you're storing items that can handle temperature swings, a standard unit works fine and saves you money. Share your zip in the comments and we'll match you with a nearby Extra Space Storage location that can walk you through what's worth protecting. #storageunits #climatecontrolledstorage #selfstorage #storagetips #extraspacestorage
