- Common layouts: 5 × 10 ft
- King beds (6.3 × 6.7 ft): 1.2 by area
- Parking spaces (9 × 18 ft): 0.3 by area
"By area" compares total area. How many actually fit depends on shape, which the drawing above shows.
A 5 × 10 storage unit has 50 square feet of floor, about the size of a large walk-in closet. Ceilings are often about 8 feet, which gives roughly 400 cubic feet; check the facility, since heights vary.
By floor area it is a little more than one king bed or about two twin beds. It usually suits the contents of a dorm room or a small studio without large furniture: boxes, a mattress set, a dresser and a few small items.
Use the drawing to check a big item. Set the compare chip to “king bed” and you can see a king mattress lying flat takes most of the floor.
