Storage Unit Size Guide

Our smallest storage unit is 16 sq ft, which is ideal for storing small items like seasonal decorations, sports equipment, or a few boxes of belongings. This compact size is perfect if you need to declutter at home without committing to a larger space.

We offer storage units up to 200 sq ft at our Petersfield and Alton locations, suitable for storing the contents of a 3-4 bedroom home or substantial business inventory. Our Swindon location offers larger units up to 600 sq ft for customers with greater storage needs.

A 16 sq ft unit typically accommodates around 1-2 carloads of items, making it suitable for storing boxes, small furniture pieces, or seasonal items. In contrast, a 200 sq ft unit can hold approximately 15-20 carloads and is large enough for the entire contents of a 3–4-bedroom home, including larger furniture and appliances. Use our car space calculator to estimate exactly how many carloads you'll need and discover which unit size works best for you.

Choosing the right storage unit size depends on what you're storing and how you organise your space. Start by using our car space calculator to estimate how many carloads you'll need. Our storage size guide shows what typically fits in each unit size, from 16 sq ft up to 200 sq ft (or 600 sq ft at Swindon). If you're still unsure, visit your local Place facility during opening hours where our friendly team can show you different sized units and help you make the right choice.

Whether you're storing for personal or business use, we make it easy to adjust as your requirements change.
