The hard part of renting storage isn't the rental. It's standing in the room trying to guess how it all packs down. Most people miss by a size, which means either a unit that's bursting or one that's half empty and still costing you.
At Cardinal State Storage, we help Sanford folks sort this out every week, so here's the quick rundown of what each size holds.
A 5x5 is about a small closet, good for boxes, totes, and a few small items. A 5x10 is more like a walk-in closet and holds a small bedroom's worth of belongings plus a mattress and boxes. Both work well for clearing out a single room.
A 10x10 is the most popular size, roughly a bedroom, holding the contents of a couple of rooms with furniture and appliances. It's the right call for most moves and home projects.
A 10x15 holds a small home's worth of furniture, and a 10x20 is close to a one-car garage, enough for a full household or a vehicle plus boxes.
Sanford is growing, and a lot of folks are relocating in for work. If a whole household is in transition while you settle, a 10x15 or 10x20 keeps everything in one place. And local businesses storing inventory, equipment, or records often find a 10x10 or 10x15 works as an affordable bit of extra space, sized to your busy season.
The easiest way to decide is to walk the units and picture your things inside. We're glad to help you eyeball it so you rent exactly what you need.
