What does a 10x20 storage unit look like?

Each storage unit differs in appearance based on your local storage facility. To give you an idea of size, a 10x20 storage unit is about the size of a standard one-car garage. The appearance of your 10x20 storage unit will also depend on the amenities you choose and the unique dimensions of the storage building. We offer a variety of indoor, outdoor and climate controlled units, as well as drive-up units that all look a little different.

Unit offerings at your local Public Storage facility can differ based on the community, and availability changes according to demand. We do have local storage buildings in thousands of communities across the country, so you’ll never be too far from a 10x20 climate controlled storage unit.

Can a car fit in a 10x20 storage unit?

A 10x20 storage unit is suitable for most cars and trucks. But we wouldn’t recommend parking your car in a typical 10x20 self storage unit. Instead, we have dedicated 10x20 vehicle storage units, including enclosed, first-floor units as well as covered and uncovered parking options. A 10x20 vehicle storage unit provides enough space for common vehicles and is specifically designed for both short-term and long-term car storage. Before renting a storage unit, check with your local storage facility regarding motor vehicle storage policies. Whether you’re searching for a spot for your weekends-only classic roadster or need space for the family RV, we also offer dedicated vehicle storage options for almost anything with wheels.
