What can fit in a 9 m2 self-storage unit, with examples to make the space easier to visualise.
This storage unit is one of the most popular sizes. It’s roughly equivalent to 10 by 10 feet.
It’s a versatile unit that’s ideal for storing appliances, furniture, multiple boxes and inventory.
How big is a 9 m2 storage unit
A 9 m2 self-storage unit (just over 96 square feet) is roughly similar in size to:
- a small office, for one to two people
- a reasonably small, single bedroom
- a large storage shed
- three-quarters of a car garage.
As another example that may help you visualise the size of this unit, a standard king-size bed measures 193 cm x 203 cm, which equals 3.88 square metres.
What can fit in a 9 m2 storage unit?
A 9 m2 storage unit is typically big enough for storing the contents of a family room or a single bedroom (or up to two bedrooms if they include few large furniture items).
If you want to store just medium-sized cardboard boxes, you could expect to fit around 100 stacked boxes. This would still leave room for a narrow aisle down the middle.
A unit this size can, for example, accommodate:
- two beds (mattresses and bases) on their sides
- side tables
- dressing table
- TV
- appliances
- a number of packed boxes.
For small businesses with inventory or seasonal items, a 9 m2 unit has ample space for documents, records and stock.
If you’re renovating your home, this unit is a great size for temporarily storing items from a kitchen, living room or bedrooms.
How much a unit fits will depend on how tightly it’s packed. To maximise use of the space, items should be stacked.
Is a 9 m2 storage unit big enough for household contents?
Unless you have a small home and don’t have a lot of furniture or bulky items, the answer is no.
For most homes, a 16 m2 unit or bigger, depending on the volume of items to store, is more suitable.
For the full contents of a three-bedroom family home, a 33 m2 unit (or larger) may be needed.
