15x20 Storage Unit Guide

Published on 11/11/2026

A 15x20 storage unit is 15 feet wide by 20 feet deep, or 300 square feet, about the size of a one-and-a-half-car garage. It holds the contents of a 3- to 4-bedroom home with appliances. At AA Personal Storage in Parowan, Utah, our 15x20 has a 10-foot ceiling, our widest enclosed-unit door, and rents for $155 a month.

If you are comparing big storage units in Parowan, Cedar City, Enoch, Paragonah, Summit, or Brian Head, the 15x20 is the unit people ask about when a 10x25 feels too narrow and a 20x26 feels like more than they need. This guide covers exactly how big a 15x20 is, what it looks like inside, what fits, what it costs, and how it compares to the sizes around it. For every size we rent, see our full storage unit size guide. All prices and specs below come from our live Rent page as of November 11, 2026.

How Big Is a 15x20 Storage Unit?

A 15x20 storage unit has 300 square feet of floor space. At AA Personal Storage in Parowan, Utah, the ceiling is 10 feet, which works out to about 3,000 cubic feet of total space.

Here are the specs our Rent page lists for the 15x20:

Spec 15x20x10 at AA Personal Storage
Floor space 300 sq ft
Ceiling height 10 ft
Approximate volume 3,000 cu ft
Door type Roll-up
Door opening 11 ft 5 in wide x 8 ft high (listed as 11.5 x 8.0 ft)
Inside lighting No
Access Drive-up, ground level, 24/7
Monthly rate (Nov 2026) $155
Availability (Nov 11, 2026) Only 1 left

The volume figure is simple math (length times width times height). Real packed space is always a bit less, because you lose room to an aisle and to gaps between furniture.

A note on the door: our Rent page writes measurements in feet and inches separated by a dot, so "11.5 feet" means 11 feet 5 inches. Either way, it is the widest door on any of our enclosed units.

What Does a 15x20 Storage Unit Look Like?

Picture a one-car garage, then add about half of a second stall. A standard one-car garage is often around 12x20, so a 15x20 is roughly 3 feet wider with the same depth. These garage comparisons are approximate, since garages vary.

Another way to picture it: a 15x20 is about the floor space of a large living room plus a dining area. It is wider than it is deep compared to most storage units, which matters more than people expect:

  • Wide and shallow beats narrow and deep. You can line furniture along both side walls and still leave a center aisle, so you can reach things at the back without unloading the front.
  • The wide door makes loading faster. With an opening of 11 ft 5 in, two people can carry a sofa or a dresser in side by side with a dolly, and you can back a moving truck or trailer straight up to the opening on the asphalt drive.
  • The 10-foot ceiling adds stacking room. Sturdy boxes, bins, and tall pieces like bookcases and armoires stand upright with room to spare.

What Fits in a 15x20 Storage Unit?

A 15x20 fits most or all of a 3- to 4-bedroom house, including large appliances. Our Rent page describes it as fitting "the contents of a multi-bedroom house, including several oversized items like a couch, a refrigerator, a washer/dryer and a dining room set or several large boxes."

Here is a realistic room-by-room list for a 15x20 packed carefully. Treat box counts as estimates; your actual count depends on how much furniture you store with them.

  • Living room: a sectional or a sofa and loveseat, two recliners, a coffee table, end tables, a TV stand, a large TV in its box or wrapped, and bookcases
  • Kitchen and dining: a full-size refrigerator, a chest freezer (empty and dry), a dining table with six to eight chairs, a hutch or china cabinet, and boxed dishes
  • Bedrooms: three or four bed frames with mattresses (including a king), three or four dressers, nightstands, and a desk
  • Laundry: a washer and dryer
  • Boxes: roughly 80 to 120 medium moving boxes, or fewer if you also store full furniture
  • Garage and yard: a push mower, bikes, tool chests, a grill, patio furniture, ladders, and holiday decorations
  • Recreation gear: ski and snowboard gear, camping equipment, and hunting gear in sealed bins (see our hunting gear storage tips)

What does not belong in a 15x20?

Vehicles cannot go in any enclosed unit at AA Personal Storage, including the 15x20. That means no cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles, ATVs, or snowmobiles inside the unit. Snowmobiles, ATVs, boats, RVs, and trailers are welcome in our uncovered outdoor parking instead. Our FAQ also lists prohibited items such as gasoline, propane, paint thinner, explosives, ammunition, and perishable food.

Is a 15x20 Big Enough for a 3-Bedroom or 4-Bedroom House?

Yes for most 3-bedroom homes, and often yes for a 4-bedroom home that is not packed with garage items. If your 4-bedroom house has a full garage, a shop, or lots of oversized furniture, step up to the 20x26.

Home Typical fit in a 15x20 Better choice if...
2-bedroom apartment Plenty of room with space to walk around A 10x15 ($75) is usually enough
3-bedroom house Comfortable fit, including appliances A 10x25 ($125) or 14x20 ($145) if you have little garage gear
4-bedroom house, light furniture Usually fits if packed tightly to the ceiling Keep it if you want one unit
4-bedroom house, full garage Likely too tight 20x26 ($210, 520 sq ft)

For room-by-room checklists, see storage unit size for a 3-bedroom and storage unit size for a 4-bedroom.

How Does a 15x20 Compare to a 14x20, 10x25, or 20x26?

A 15x20 gives you 20 more square feet than a 14x20 and 50 more than a 10x25, for $10 and $30 more per month. Its biggest advantage is the door: at 11 ft 5 in wide, it is far wider than the 14x20 door (7 ft 11 in) or the 10x25 door (8 ft).

Feature 10x25 14x20 15x20 20x26
Floor space 250 sq ft 280 sq ft 300 sq ft 520 sq ft
Ceiling 9 ft 10 or 11.5 ft 10 ft 12 ft
Door opening (W x H) 8 ft x 7 ft 10 in 7 ft 11 in x 8 ft 11 ft 5 in x 8 ft 9 ft 11 in x 8 ft
Monthly rate (Nov 2026) $125 $145 $155 $210
Cost per sq ft per month about $0.50 about $0.52 about $0.52 about $0.40
Best for One long row, a lighter 3-bedroom A full 3-bedroom, tall stacks Wide furniture, fast loading, a 3- to 4-bedroom A full 4-bedroom with garage

Cost per square foot is simple division of the monthly rate by the floor space. Door widths follow the Rent page's feet.inches format.

  • Pick the 10x25 if you want the lowest price for a 3-bedroom and do not mind loading in one deep row. See what fits in a 10x25.
  • Pick the 14x20 if you want the same footprint for $10 less, or the extra-tall 11.5 ceiling option. See what fits in a 14x20.
  • Pick the 15x20 if you are storing wide pieces like sectionals, king headboards, workbenches, or pallets of business stock, or you want the easiest loading of any enclosed unit we have.
  • Pick the 20x26 if you need the most space. At 520 square feet and a 12-foot ceiling, it holds about a 40-foot moving van, according to our Rent page, and it is the cheapest per square foot.

Who Rents a 15x20 Storage Unit?

Most 15x20 renters are in the middle of a big move or a big project. Common reasons we see the size fit well:

How Should You Pack a 15x20 Storage Unit?

Pack a 15x20 in a U shape: heavy furniture and boxes along the back and both side walls, with a center aisle about 3 feet wide running from the door to the back.

  1. Put pallets or plastic sheeting down first. It keeps boxes off the concrete floor.
  2. Load appliances and heavy furniture first, against the back wall. Leave refrigerator and freezer doors cracked open so they stay dry.
  3. Stand mattresses and tabletops on edge along a side wall to save floor space.
  4. Stack boxes heaviest on the bottom, same-size boxes together, and keep stacks below the 10-foot ceiling so they stay stable.
  5. Keep what you need near the door. Seasonal gear, paperwork, and tools go in the front third.
  6. Label every box on two sides and keep a simple list on your phone.
  7. Bring a flashlight or headlamp. The 15x20 has no inside lighting, although the facility is well-lit at night and you have access 24/7.

Our packing guide has more tips. Since our units are not climate controlled, use sealed plastic bins for clothing, documents, and anything sensitive to cold or dust.
