When it comes to self-storage, size matters — but bigger isn’t always better. For many Grande Prairie residents, the sweet spot is an 8×10 unit: large enough to hold the essentials, compact enough to be affordable, and practical for a wide range of needs. And at Cans N Boxes, our 8×10 units come with an extra bonus — built-in lighting — making them even more convenient to use year-round.
An 8×10 unit gives you 80 square feet of storage space — plenty of room for the contents of a one-bedroom apartment, seasonal items, or business inventory. It’s the go-to choice for:
Families storing seasonal gear like bikes, quads, snowmobiles, or holiday decorations.
Homeowners freeing up garage or basement space.
Students or young professionals who don’t need a full-size unit but still want flexibility.
Contractors and tradespeople who need a secure spot for tools, equipment, or materials.
Think of it as the Goldilocks unit — not too small, not too big, just right.
Here in Grande Prairie, we know how early the sun sets in the winter months. Without lighting, you’re left juggling a phone flashlight while trying to sort through boxes — not ideal. Our lighted 8×10 units give you:
Safe access at night when it’s dark outside.
Convenience when you need to grab a box, tool, or piece of gear quickly.
Peace of mind knowing you can see and organize your belongings easily.
It’s a simple feature, but it makes all the difference — especially during Alberta’s long winters.
Grande Prairie life comes with its share of seasonal transitions. Our 8×10 lighted units are perfect for:
Fall & Winter: Store summer toys, yard tools, bikes, and outdoor gear.
Spring & Summer: Pack away winter tires, snowblowers, and holiday décor.
By rotating items in and out of your 8×10, you can keep your home, garage, or shop clutter-free year-round.
When you choose Cans N Boxes, you’re getting more than just a unit. You’re choosing a local, trusted facility with:
A secure, well-lit yard
