“Checked my carry-on against 3 airlines before a trip. Saved me a gate-check fee.” — Frequent flyer

Measure smart

What to measure.

Four numbers decide nearly every fit check. Get these right and the rest follows.

  1. 01List furniture and appliances with approximate dimensions
  2. 02Count boxes by size (small, medium, large)
  3. 03Note items that must stay upright (dressers, refrigerators)

Don't make these

Common mistakes.

Most “it didn't fit” stories trace back to one of these oversights.

  1. ⚠Renting too small — a 5×10 fills up faster than expected with furniture
  2. ⚠Forgetting walkway space — you need room to access items in the back
  3. ⚠Stacking fragile items — electronics and glass-door appliances should stay on the floor

Frequently asked

Questions we keep getting.

  • What fits in a 10×10 storage unit?

    Roughly the contents of a 1-bedroom apartment: a sofa, bed, dresser, table, and 20-30 boxes.

    01

  • Do I need a 10×15 or 10×20?

    For a 2-bedroom with major appliances, 10×15 is usually sufficient. Add a 3rd bedroom or vehicle and go 10×20.
