Renting a storage unit is the easy part. Guessing the size is what trips people up. You look around the room, take your best guess, and end up either cramming everything into a unit that's too small or paying for space you never use.

At Cardinal State Storage, we help Reidsville folks get this right all the time, so here's a quick guide to what each size holds.

The Small Units: 5x5 and 5x10

A 5x5 is about the size of a small closet, good for boxes, totes, seasonal decorations, and a few small pieces. A 5x10 is closer to a walk-in closet and holds a small bedroom's worth of belongings plus a mattress and boxes. Both are great for clearing out a room without committing to much space.

The Medium Unit: 10x10

A 10x10 is the size most people land on. It's about a bedroom and holds the contents of a couple of rooms, including furniture and appliances. It's the workhorse for a move or a home project.

The Big Units: 10x15 and 10x20

A 10x15 holds a small home's worth of furniture and larger items. A 10x20 is close to a one-car garage, enough for a full household or a vehicle plus boxes.

A Word for Small-Town Life

A lot of Reidsville storage comes down to life events, downsizing, a renovation, helping family clear out a home, or just making room as the household changes. For those, a 10x10 usually gives you enough space to keep things organized while you sort through what stays. And if you split time between here and Greensboro, storing locally beats hauling everything back and forth.
