A 5×10 ft unit holds 50 sq ft (4.6 m²), about the size of a large walk-in closet. It fits a mattress, a small sofa and a few boxes, or the stock of a market stall.
How it's rented or bought
Self-storage facilities rent it by the month on a lease with a minimum term.
Price
Priced per month, and the price differs between facilities and between floors.
Best for
The contents of a studio flat or a small business's spare stock.
Before you rent or buy
Ask where the unit is in the building: a ground-floor unit is easier to load than one reached by a lift.
