Though there are smaller and larger storage units at certain locations, the most common sizes are:

• – 5×5
• – 5×10
• – 5×15
• – 10×10
• – 10×15
• – 10×20
• – 10×25
• – 10×30

Figuring out what size of storage unit you need isn’t always easy to visualize. Though not a perfect system, the easiest way to discuss storage unit sizes is discussing the amount of living space that is going into storage, and in some cases, specific items that are being stored.

The most common ceiling height for storage units at our locations is approximately 8’. Certain storage units do have higher ceilings that can accommodate taller vehicles and other large items. In larger cities where locker-sized units are more popular, reduced-height storage units that are less than 8’ are also available.

If you rented too little or too much space, we’ll be happy to help you get switched into a storage unit that better matches your needs as long as that size is available at the location.

There are several different storage unit types to consider, and each offer their own benefits, such as drive-up storage, extended-height storage, interior storage units, or vehicle storage units.

Climate-controlled storage means that your storage space will be in a temperature-controlled environment that remains between 55 and 85 degrees at all times. This makes them the preferred option for anyone storing temperature sensitive items.

That depends on several factors. Climate-controlled storage might be worth it to you if:
– You live in an area with extreme high and/or low temperatures
– You’re storing valuable items that shouldn’t be exposed to severe temperatures
– You plan on using storage for an extended period of time

Climate-controlled storage can be beneficial for several common household items. We have a comprehensive list for you to use, but some of the most common are:

– Collectibles such as artwork, stamp collections, record collections, and more
– Electronics such as TVs, gaming systems, stereos, computers, and cameras
– Books, clothing, personal records, and more
– Photos and negatives, film reels, cassettes, and more
– Furniture including wood and leather furniture

Yes! Only working cars are allowed to be stored inside storage units, but this is allowed. 10×20 storage units are big enough for most cars, while some longer trucks will need a 10×25 storage unit.

All vehicles stored at My Storage Group must be registered and insured under an existing auto policy.

Other than minor maintenance to a running car, storage units cannot be used as a work shop to work on a car.

Absolutely! For a single motorcycle, a 5×10 storage unit should be big enough. If you plan to store more than one, a larger storage unit will likely be needed.
