Self Storage Rental Units in British Columbia
Public Storage Locations Centrally Located in British Columbia
Characterized by beautiful mountains, pristine forests, and breathtaking Pacific coastlines, British Columbia is a premier destination for both seasonal tourists and long-term residents. In the south of the province, the cosmopolitan port city of Vancouver connects Canada with the world, attracting commercial interests from around the globe. With its temperate climate, glittering urban skylines, and lush natural oases, British Columbia offers alluring features that are hard to pass up – as the province’s ongoing population boom can readily attest!
This surge in growth has also increased the demand for storage services, most notably in urban areas with high population density. To meet this need, Public Storage provides residential and commercial storage solutions throughout the Lower Mainland area:
The Types of Storage Unit Sizes in British Columbia
Public Storage offers the most popular mini-storage unit sizes, perfect for nearly all your storage needs! Within this range of standard sizes, you’ll find the right storage solution, no matter how much you plan to store.
- 5’x5′ (25 sq ft): Roughly the size of a large closet, this unit is most ideal for storing a limited number of items, such as 15 moving boxes, small furniture items, twin-sized mattress sets, small appliances, or seasonal clothing, accessories, and decor.
- 5’x10′ (50 sq ft): About the size of a walk-in closet, this unit works well for the contents of a small one-bedroom or studio apartment, including a sofa, queen mattress set, small dining room set, TVs and electronics, bicycles or scooter, sports equipment, and up to 25 boxes.
- 10’x’10’ (100 sq ft): This size is about half the size of a garage. It provides ample space for the contents of a one- or two-bedroom apartment, including major kitchen appliances, king-sized mattress set, garden and lawn care equipment, bulky seasonal items like patio furniture and tires, and 50 boxes.
- 10’x’15’ (150 sq ft): Almost the size of one-car garage, this unit size accommodates the furnishings from a two- or three-bedroom apartment, including up to 80 boxes, several large appliances, exercise equipment or home gym, home entertainment centre, bicycles or a scooter, and small recreational vehicles like ATVs.
- 10’x20′ (200 sq ft): This size gives you approximately the same amount of space as a standard garage, making it suitable to store the contents of a three- or four-bedroom apartment or house, including over 100 moving boxes, all major appliances, a home office, or a passenger vehicle.
- 10’x25′ (250 sq ft): Being slightly larger than a one-car garage, this size provides ample space for the contents of a three or four-bedroom house, upwards of 100 moving boxes, office furniture, commercial tools and equipment, and/or a full-size passenger vehicle.
- 10’x30′ (300 sq ft): The largest storage unit size, similar to a two-car garage in capacity, offers enough space for the contents of a four or five-bedroom house, well over 150 boxes, business inventory, canoes or kayaks, a boat on a trailer, passenger vehicle or light duty truck.
To determine the best unit size for your needs, consider the types and quantities of items you’ll be storing, as well as their dimensions. Make the most of vertical space by using freestanding shelves and stackable bins, so you can fully maximize the storage capacity of the unit. If you are unsure of the appropriate size, give our handy storage calculator a try to get an estimate.
