Waco Storage Unit Size Guide
What Fits in Each Space?
Not sure what size storage unit you need? This guide breaks it down with real-life examples—from dorm rooms to full homes, contractor gear to business inventory—so you rent just the right amount of space at Mac’s Self Storage in Waco.
Why Unit Size Matters
Renting a storage unit that's too small creates stress. Renting one that's too big wastes money. That’s why we created this simple guide. Whether you're moving, downsizing, or just need to clear out the garage, we’ll help you picture what actually fits inside the most popular storage unit sizes available at Mac’s.
5x5 Storage Unit (The Size of a Utility Closet)
Ideal for:
- College students
- Seasonal storage
- Light decluttering projects
What fits:
A few boxes, small furniture like chairs or nightstands, sports gear, or dorm room items. Think of it as a walk-in closet or coat closet—great for storing off-season clothes, decorations, or files.
Use case example:
You're a Baylor student heading home for summer break. A 5x5 unit gives you enough space for clothes, a mini fridge, books, and dorm essentials—without lugging them across Texas.
10x10 Storage Unit (Think 1-Bedroom Apartment)
Ideal for:
- Apartment moves
- Temporary life transitions
- Small business inventory
What fits:
The contents of a standard 1-bedroom apartment. This includes a mattress set, sofa, coffee table, TV stand, multiple boxes, and kitchen gear.
Use case example:
You're moving out of a rental while house-hunting. A 10x10 gives you enough space to safely store all your essentials without cramming them into a garage or friend’s basement.
10x20 Storage Unit
Ideal for:
- Homeowners
- Families during a renovation
- Businesses storing large equipment
What fits:
About the size of a standard one-car garage. Store the contents of a 2–3-bedroom house, including large furniture, appliances, lawn tools, and dozens of boxes.
Use case example:
You’re remodeling your kitchen and living room. A 10x20 lets you store couches, tables, appliances, and boxes without damage or clutter in your home.
10x30 Storage Unit
Ideal for:
- Large households
- Business inventory and equipment
- Long-term storage needs
What fits:
This unit is roughly the size of three 10x10 units side-by-side. Store full households, large-scale contractor gear, or bulk inventory with room to organize and access it easily.
Use case example:
You're moving from a 4-bedroom home and need time between closings. A 10x30 gives you breathing room to organize and retrieve items without repacking each time.
