How to Choose the Right Storage Unit Size
Not sure which unit is right for you? Follow these four simple rules before you rent.
List your large items before renting — beds, sofas, and appliances take up the most space. Use their dimensions to estimate the total cubic footage you need.
Our units have full ceiling height. Stack boxes and lighter items on top of furniture to maximise every square foot — you can often fit more than you expect.
If you'll access your unit regularly, leave a 2-foot aisle down the middle. Plan to rent one size up from your minimum estimate to give yourself that room.
It's always better to have a little extra room than to damage items by over-packing or make multiple trips because things don't fit.
Wood furniture, electronics, artwork, documents, and clothing can be damaged by New York's humidity and freezing winters. Choose a climate-controlled unit to keep your belongings safe year-round. Available in most sizes.
Storage Unit Size FAQ
What is the most popular storage unit size?
Our most popular sizes are the 5×10 and 10×10. The 5×10 works well for studio apartments and students; the 10×10 is ideal for 1–2 bedroom households and home renovations.
What size unit do I need for a 1-bedroom apartment?
A 5×10 or 10×10 unit is typically right for a 1-bedroom apartment. A 5×10 works if you're storing essentials; a 10×10 is better if you're moving everything including appliances.
What size unit do I need for a 2-bedroom home?
Most 2-bedroom households fit in a 10×10 or 10×15. If you have garage or basement items to include, go with the 10×15 for the extra room.
What size unit do I need for a 3-bedroom house?
A 10×15 or 10×20 is recommended for a 3-bedroom home. Choose the 10×20 if you have a full garage, large appliances, or bulky outdoor equipment to store.
Do you offer climate-controlled storage in Catskill, NY?
Yes. We offer climate-controlled units in several sizes including 5×5, 5×10, 10×10, and 10×20. Climate control is recommended for electronics, wood furniture, artwork, and documents — especially given Catskill's humid summers and freezing winters.
Can I store a vehicle at Tidy Up Storage?
Yes. Our larger drive-up units — the 10×20, 10×25, and 10×30 — can accommodate motorcycles, ATVs, small boats, and recreational equipment. Contact us to confirm dimensions before renting for vehicle storage.
Is there a minimum rental period?
No — we rent month-to-month with no long-term commitment required. We also offer prepayment discounts: pay 6 months upfront and get a half month free, or pay 12 months and get a full month free.
