Storage Units in Prospect Heights, IL

While you could fit a queen size mattress in a 5x5 storage unit, it'd be a tight fit with little room for much else. 5x5 units are close in size to a small walk-in closet so most people will be able to store 5-8 boxes or smaller furniture items.

Many storage facilities do not have storage units with electrical plugs. Newer facilities that have indoor, climate controlled units may have electrical sockets in units, but be sure to check the facility information on their Sparefoot listing page.

Most storage facilities don't have explicit rules against using a storage unit as a gym, but it's important to check with the facility manager first to ensure it's allowed and to determine any restrictions. You might also want to consider whether the storage unit has climate control or is an indoor unit, otherwise it might get excessively hot or cold inside the unit.

A 10x20 storage unit is large enough to store the contents of most four-bedroom houses. Large appliances, mattress sets, couches, bookcases, meda consoles, gym equipment and many boxes will all fit into a 10x20 storage unit. If you're storing a car, SUV or truck, this is the recommended unit size.

Many storage facilities do sell moving supplies like boxes in a variety of sizes, tape and reinforcing canvas straps.
