Size Guide: 5x7 Self Storage Units

What Fits in a 5x7 Storage Unit?

So, you're considering a 5x7 storage unit. This size offers a bit more breathing room than a 5x5, giving you increased flexibility for your storage needs. Think of it as a small spare room – perfect for those in-between storage situations. But what exactly can you fit in this space? Let's dive in!

Think "Small Room with Extra Space"

Imagine a small bedroom with a bit more floor space. A 5x7 unit typically offers around 35 square feet of floor space, with an 8-foot ceiling. This means you have more room to maneuver and organize your belongings compared to a 5x5 unit.

Which Items Fit in a 5x7?

  • Furniture: A full-size mattress set, a dresser, a couple of chairs, a small sofa, and even a bookshelf. You might even be able to fit a compact desk or a small dining set.
  • Boxes: Plenty of medium to large-sized boxes. This gives you ample space for storing household goods, seasonal items, or business inventory.
  • Appliances: A standard refrigerator, a washer and dryer set (if allowed), a larger TV, or a small entertainment center.
  • Miscellaneous: Bicycles, sporting equipment, outdoor furniture, musical instruments, and other bulky items.

Tips for Maximizing Space

  • Disassemble furniture: Take apart bed frames, tables, and other furniture to save space and make moving easier.
  • Use shelves: Shelving units are your best friend! They maximize vertical space and help organize your belongings.
  • Stack vertically: Stack boxes and bins securely to utilize the height of the unit.
  • Use uniform containers: Using similar-sized containers makes stacking and organizing much more efficient.
  • Create a walkway: If possible, leave a small walkway in the center of the unit for easy access to your items.

What Comes With Our 5x7 Unit?

  • Climate control: If you're storing sensitive items like electronics, documents, or antiques, consider a climate-controlled unit to protect them from temperature fluctuations and humidity.
  • Door size and access: Ensure the door of the unit is wide enough to accommodate your larger items.
  • Facility features: JustStorage units offer dollies, carts, and moving supplies to assist with moving your belongings.

Still unsure if a 5x7 is right for you?

Many storage facilities offer size guides and online tools to help you visualize the space. You can also visit the facility in person and take a look at the units firsthand. A 5x7 storage unit provides a great balance of space and affordability. By carefully planning and organizing your items, you can maximize the space and keep your belongings safe and secure.
