One of the most common questions we hear at Cans N Boxes Storage is:
“What size storage unit do I actually need?”
Rent too small and you’ll run out of space.
Rent too large and you’ll pay for space you don’t use.
This guide breaks down exactly what fits in each unit so you can confidently choose the right storage rental in Grande Prairie.
A 10-foot container is ideal if you’re storing the contents of a small apartment, single room, or seasonal items.
Typically, you can store:
Bedroom furniture set
Couch or loveseat
Appliances (washer/dryer)
15–25 moving boxes
Tires & rims
Bicycles & small equipment
This size works well for:
Students
Renters between moves
Seasonal storage
Decluttering projects
If you just need extra space — but not a full household — a 10ft unit is cost-effective and efficient.
The 20-foot container is the go-to rental for both homeowners and businesses.
It offers roughly 1,160 cubic feet of storage space — comparable to a large garage.
You can typically store:
Full household contents (2–3 bedrooms)
Living room & dining room furniture
Large appliances
Tool chests & job site equipment
Business inventory
ATVs & motorcycles
Construction materials
This is the most popular size because it balances cost and capacity.
If you’re moving, renovating, or storing business equipment — this is usually the right choice.
All container rentals at Cans N Boxes Storage feature ground-level, drive-up access.
That means:
No elevators
No hallways
No shared indoor spaces
You can back your truck or trailer directly to your unit and unload in minutes.
This is especially helpful for contractors, movers, and families handling large items.
Here’s a quick rule of thumb:
| Home Size / Use Case | Recommended Unit |
|---|---|
| 1 room / seasonal items | 10ft |
| 1–2 bedroom apartment | 10ft–20ft |
| 2–3 bedroom home | 20ft |
| Business inventory | 20ft |
| Job site storage | 20ft |
If you’re unsure, it’s usually safer to size up slightly — especially during moves or renovations.
