Storage unit size guide

Picking a unit is mostly about how much floor space you need and whether you want to drive up to the door. Every unit at Brownsville Secure Storage in Brownsville is drive-up, so you park at your own door instead of carrying things down a corridor.

Every size we rent

Month to month with no long-term contract. The lot is behind a coded gate that is open 24 hours a day, with cameras running day and night.

How to choose

Think in garages. A 10×20 is about a single-car garage, a 10×10 about half of one. If you can picture your things stacked in a garage, you can picture the unit.

Measure the largest item, not the pile. A mattress, a sofa or a ladder sets the minimum footprint. Everything else stacks around it.

Leave a walkway. If you will visit often, size up so you can reach the back without unloading the front.

Vehicles need length. A car fits a 10×20. A trailer or work equipment wants the 10×30, and the single 20×20 is the widest space on site.
