\"5x5<\/p>\n

Small (5\u2019 x 5\u2019)<\/h4>\n

Consider this: You\u2019re a business owner<\/a> who is in need of extra space. You need to put your excess inventory somewhere. Or\u00a0maybe, you\u2019re looking to de-clutter your small apartment or townhome?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a storage unit that can act as an extra closet, a 5\u2019 x 5\u2019 unit is perfect for you.<\/p>\n

Medium (5\u2019 x 10\u2019)<\/h4>\n

\"5x10<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a scenario: You\u2019re moving in with your significant other and you need to consolidate homes, but neither of you are ready to get rid of your furniture just yet.<\/p>\n

The 5\u2019 x 10\u2019 unit works well for this. It\u2019s a perfect storage unit for someone looking to store furniture and who is moving out of a studio or one bedroom apartment.<\/p>\n

Large (10\u2019 x 10\u2019)\"10x10<\/h4>\n

Are you an empty nester<\/a>? Do you have a couple of free rooms to turn into the home gym or crafting room you\u2019ve always wanted. But, you\u2019re not ready to part with your kid\u2019s old things?<\/p>\n

For holding larger furniture and boxes full of old trophies and knick-knacks, the 10\u2019 x 10\u2019 unit is useful for storing the contents of up to two bedrooms.<\/p>\n

Larger (10\u2019 x 15\u2019)\"10x15<\/h4>\n

Maybe you\u2019ve been planning on making your home, your \u201cdream home.\u201d But, it needs a touch-up or two. It\u2019s time to renovate, but where are you going to keep your things? They need to go somewhere secure.<\/p>\n

The 10\u2019 x 15\u2019 is useful when putting away three bedrooms. With extra height, this unit has 50% more volume compared to the 10\u2019 x 10\u2019. So, when organized correctly<\/a>, you can store all your things, and maybe more.<\/p>\n

Largest (10\u2019 x 20\u2019)\"10x20<\/h4>\n

Imagine you and your family have decided to sell your home and travel the world for a bit. But, you don\u2019t want to start from scratch when you return home, so you want to put all of your things in storage while you’re gone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 10\u2019 x 20\u2019 unit is the perfect storage unit to fit everything from four-bedrooms. That extra 5\u2019 will make a big difference when it comes to packing a couple more boxes in.<\/p>\n
