What Size Storage Unit Do You Need for a Move?

A move usually means storing more than you expect, so it pays to size the unit before the truck is packed. A quick guide by household:

  • 5x10 ($75 per month): a dorm room, a studio apartment's boxes, or the overflow from a home you are staging for sale. Good for a mattress set, a dresser, seasonal items and a stack of boxes.
  • 10x10 ($110 per month): the furniture and boxes from a one-bedroom apartment.
  • 10x15 ($140 per month): the furniture and boxes from a two-bedroom home, or a smaller home plus tools and yard equipment.
  • 10x20 ($180 per month): about the size of a one-car garage, with room for a larger household move.

Before you choose, list the largest pieces you are moving (sofa, beds, dining table, washer and dryer) and plan to stand mattresses and table tops on end. Leave a walkway down the middle so you can reach items at the back when you need them before the move is finished.

If part of your move includes wood furniture, electronics, documents or keepsakes that will sit in storage for months, a climate-controlled unit is worth comparing. The guide to climate-controlled storage near Angier and Four Oaks covers what to keep in one.

U-Haul Truck and Trailer Rental in Benson

A move goes faster when the truck, the boxes and the storage unit are all at one stop. Consolidated Self-Storage schedules U-Haul truck and trailer rentals in its office and sells U-Haul moving supplies on site, so you can pick up boxes and tape, load the truck and unload into your unit without driving across town. Read more about the U-Haul partnership at Consolidated Self-Storage.

Truck and trailer rentals are scheduled in person at the office during office hours. For questions before you come in, call (919) 584-9324.

Planning Move Day Around the Hours

Two sets of hours matter on move day:

  • Gate hours: 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM daily. This is when you can drive in and load or unload your unit.
  • Office hours: Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, closed Sunday. This is when you can schedule a U-Haul, buy moving supplies or ask questions in person.

If your truck pickup and your move-in fall on a weekend, plan around the Saturday office hours and the closed Sunday office. Starting soon after the gate opens at 6:00 AM gives you most of the day to unload before it closes at 9:00 PM.

Drive-up units make the work easier on the day itself. You can back a truck, car or trailer right up to the door, so furniture goes from the truck into the unit in a few steps.

Security While Your Belongings Are in Storage

The facility is fenced and gated, well lit, and monitored with digital video surveillance cameras. Pest control is in place in all units. A tenant protection plan is also available for your stored belongings, and the details are on the facility's Tenant Protection page.

  • Rent online, or reserve the unit for free with "Reserve Now for Free."
  • Pay your bill online at any time with 24/7 online bill pay, which helps when you are between addresses.
