5x15 Storage Units in Denton, TX: Full Size & Rental Guide
Hi! So, you're in the market for a storage solution in Denton? I totally understand how it can be a little overwhelming to determine just what size unit you will need. If you are like many of our Denton neighbors, you might find that a 5x15 storage unit hits that sweet spot-not too big, not too small, just right. Whether you're a UNT student needing summer storage or a local resident wanting to declutter your home, let's take a look at all you need to know about these popular units.
How Big Is a 5x15 Storage Unit?
A 5x15 unit is really rather like your bedroom's long-lost cousin: approximately 75 square feet of pure possibility. Five feet wide and 15 feet deep is the size of a nice roomy walk-in closet. Most units will have ceilings 8 to 10 feet high, so yes, you can be the master of Tetris and stack it up.
Still can't picture it? Consider how a compact car would fit, or for greater efficiency, think of a hallway in your home that's about the size you are working with. Pretty doable, right?
What Do You Fit in a 5x15 Storage Unit?
Now let's get realistic here. You'll be surprised at how much you can fit in those units when you put things in there smartly. Here's what normally fits:
Your queen-size bedroom set, with your beloved queen-size bed; that sofa you're saving for your future apartment; your dining room table and chairs, where you will have dinner parties; 15-20 medium-sized boxes full of your favorite things; and those seasonal items taking over your garage right now.
Pro tip: It's real-life Tetris-you can fit a two-bedroom apartment in it if you're strategic enough!

Packing Like a Pro
Here's what I've learned from helping folks move:

Leave yourself a path - future you will be thankful.
Put your "I need this tomorrow" stuff near the door
