Storage Corner | September 8, 2025 @ 12:00 AM

Idaho residents know that life here comes with variety: long winters, active summers, and wide-open spaces that often fill up faster than expected. From families moving between homes to outdoor enthusiasts rotating seasonal gear, choosing the right storage unit size is key to keeping life organized without sacrificing security.


Storage Corner makes that process easier with multiple facilities across Idaho, Utah, and California, offering unit sizes and amenities that match the state’s unique lifestyle. Here’s how to narrow down the right fit for your belongings in Idaho.


Why Size Matters in Idaho Storage

Storage isn’t just about having space, it’s about choosing the right amount of space. Picking too small leads to cramped boxes and damaged gear, while picking too large means paying for square footage you don’t need.


In Idaho, common needs include:

  • Seasonal gear like snowmobiles, skis, or camping equipment.
  • Family household items during a move or remodel.
  • Business supplies for small companies and contractors.
  • RV and boat storage for residents who make the most of Idaho’s outdoors.


A Practical Look at Storage Sizes

Unlike larger metro areas, Idaho customers often need units that balance both household goods and recreational equipment. Here’s a breakdown:

  • Compact Units (5’x5’ or 5’x10’): Great for sports gear, off-season clothing, or a few pieces of furniture.
  • Mid-Size Units (10’x10’ or 10’x15’): Suitable for storing the contents of an apartment or small home, ideal during moves.
  • Spacious Units (10’x20’+): Handle larger homes, business inventory, or vehicles. Perfect for combining furniture with outdoor gear like ATVs or small boats.


Security and Convenience Built In

At Storage Corner, choosing a unit size also comes with peace of mind through modern amenities available at many Idaho locations:

  • Gated access with personalized keypad codes
  • 24/7 video surveillance and lighting
  • Drive-up units for quick loading and unloading

When in doubt, go one size up. A little extra room allows for better organization, especially if you’ll be adding seasonal gear later. Plus, with Idaho’s active lifestyle, chances are you’ll need the space sooner than you think.
