Self Storage FAQs

Public Storage facilities offer a range of units, from the most affordable solution, storage lockers (for just a few things) and small units such as 5x5 storage units, to large units that include 10x25 storage units or even larger – sometimes accommodating RVs and oversized vehicles. We’ve compiled a storage unit size guide that can help you understand the rough estimates of what each storage unit may be able to hold.
Use sturdy boxes and label everything. We always recommend moving larger, heavier items into your unit first, as well as anything you won’t need to access frequently. As you pack from the back of the space to the front, ensure that you leave an aisleway – especially in those larger units.
Climate controlled self storage units feature mechanisms that help take the edge off the temperature and humidity found outdoors. Our climate-controlled storage units come in a range of sizes, although availability may vary at your local Public Storage facility.
Among other things, prohibited items include foods and liquids, hazardous materials, illegal items, plants and animals, and items exceeding value limitations. Please consult your rental agreement for additional information.
