A 10x10 storage unit at AA Personal Storage is 100 square feet with a 9-foot ceiling and an 8.5-foot-wide roll-up door. It holds the contents of a family room or two full bedrooms, or most of a one-bedroom apartment, plus a stack of boxes. It rents for $65 a month (as listed in October 2026), month to month, with 24/7 drive-up access in Parowan, Utah.
The 10x10 is the size people ask about most. It's big enough for real furniture and small enough to stay affordable. This guide covers exactly what fits inside one, how to pack it, and when a smaller or bigger unit makes more sense. If you're still comparing sizes, start with our full storage unit size guide, which covers every unit we offer.
Here are the real numbers for the 10x10 units at our Parowan facility, straight from our Rent page:
| Detail | 10x10 at AA Personal Storage |
|---|---|
| Floor space | 10 ft x 10 ft (100 square feet) |
| Ceiling height | 9 feet |
| Total volume | About 900 cubic feet |
| Door type | Roll-up |
| Door opening | 8.5 feet wide, 7 feet 10 inches tall |
| Access | Ground level, drive-up, paved right to the door |
| Monthly rate | $65 (as listed in October 2026) |
To picture it, think of an empty small bedroom, or a little less than half of a one-car garage (both approximate). The 9-foot ceiling gives you more stacking height than most rooms, and that vertical space is where a 10x10 earns its keep.
The door matters just as much as the floor. An 8.5-foot-wide opening means a full-size couch, a queen bed frame, or a dining table can slide straight in without tipping, twisting, or taking the legs off. That's a big upgrade from our 5x10 and 5x12.5 units, which have doors about 3.7 feet wide.
Our Rent page describes the 10x10 as fitting "the contents of an entire family room or two full bedrooms, including several small to medium-sized boxes." Here's what that looks like in real furniture. Every household packs differently, so treat these as typical loads, not guarantees.
A carefully packed 10x10 holds most one-bedroom apartments. A typical load:
If your one-bedroom has a big sectional, a full set of appliances, or a garage's worth of tools, plan for the next size up.
If you're clearing out two bedrooms for a remodel, guests, or a move, a 10x10 typically holds:
A full-size sofa plus a loveseat or recliner, a coffee table and end tables, a TV stand and TV, bookshelves, rolled rugs stood on end, and boxes of books, games, and decor.
A 10x10 also works well as an overflow garage for gear you use in different seasons:
One firm rule: no vehicles inside enclosed units, and that includes motorcycles, ATVs, and snowmobiles. Those go in our outdoor parking spaces, which are uncovered and start at $30 a month for a 10x30 space (as listed in October 2026).
Contractors, online sellers, and small offices around Iron County use 10x10 units for inventory on shelving, archived files, spare office furniture, event supplies, and tools between jobs. The wide door makes it easy to back a truck up and unload. See our post on using a storage unit for your business for more ideas.
Knowing the limits saves you a second trip and a second rental.
Probably won't fit in a 10x10:
Not allowed in any unit: flammable or hazardous materials (gasoline, propane, paint thinner, fireworks, chemicals), explosives and ammunition, perishable food or unsealed pet food, animals and plants, wet or moldy items, loose tires, and vehicles. The full list is in our storage FAQ.
The difference between "it all fit" and "we need a second unit" is usually packing, not size. A few habits make a 10x10 hold a lot more.

Here's a quick way to decide between a 10x10 and its neighbors on our Rent page. Rates are as listed in October 2026.
| If you're storing... | Best fit | Monthly rate |
|---|---|---|
| Boxes, a few small pieces, or a dorm room | 5x10 | $40 |
| A small bedroom plus extra boxes or a bike | 5x12.5 | $50 |
| A one-bedroom apartment, two bedrooms, or a family room | 10x10 | $65 |
| Mostly boxes, files, and shelving that fit through a regular doorway | 10x14 walk-in (waiting list) | $65 |
| Three bedrooms plus larger items like a piano or big-screen TV | 10x15 | $75 |
| A multi-bedroom house with appliances | 10x25 | $125 |
Pick a 5x10 or 5x12.5 if you're mostly storing boxes and a few pieces that fit through a door about 3.7 feet wide.
Pick a 10x10 if you have real furniture, like a couch, beds, or a dining table, but not a whole house.
Pick a 10x15 if you're adding appliances or a third bedroom. It's only $10 more a month for 50 more square feet.
If you're torn during a move, go one size up so you have room to work. For long-term storage you can pack tight, so the smaller size usually does the job.

At AA Personal Storage, a 10x10 storage unit rents for $65 a month, as listed on our Rent page in October 2026. Rentals are month to month with no long-term contract. Check the Rent page for live pricing and availability, since 10x10 availability is limited.
It depends on box size and what else you're storing. With no furniture, a 10x10 with a 9-foot ceiling holds a large number of medium boxes stacked in columns. With a typical one-bedroom load of furniture, plan on roughly 15 to 25 medium boxes alongside it, with a narrow aisle left open.
Yes. Our 10x10 units have a roll-up door 8.5 feet wide and 7 feet 10 inches tall, so a standard sofa slides straight in. You can lay it flat or stand it on end to save floor space. A large sectional usually fits too, but it will take up a big share of the unit.
Often, yes, if it's lightly furnished and packed tightly. A 10x10 holds two full bedrooms of furniture or a family room. If your two-bedroom also includes a full living room, a dining set, and appliances, a 10x15 at $75 a month (October 2026) is usually the safer choice.
No. Vehicles aren't allowed in our enclosed units, no matter the size. Cars, trucks, boats, RVs, trailers, snowmobiles, and ATVs go in our outdoor parking spaces instead. Those spaces are uncovered and come in 10x30 and 12x40 sizes, starting at $30 a month as listed in October 2026.
