Last updated Aug 7, 2026

L024-large-storage-units-everett-wa-hero

Large storage units can provide useful space during a household move, renovation, downsizing project, or business transition. At SecureSpace Everett, available larger sizes include 10x20 and 10x25 units.

The right choice depends on what you plan to store, the dimensions of your largest belongings, and how much room you want for retrieval. Before renting, create an inventory, measure bulky items, and consider whether you need indoor, drive-up, climate-controlled, or heated storage.

What May Fit in a Large Storage Unit?

A large unit may accommodate a combination of permitted belongings such as:

  • Sofas and chairs

  • Dining furniture

  • Mattresses and disassembled bed frames

  • Dressers and cabinets

  • Household appliances

  • Moving boxes

  • Bicycles

  • Camping equipment

  • Seasonal decorations

  • Office furniture

  • Hand tools

  • Business supplies

  • Inactive inventory

  • Freestanding shelving

This is not a guaranteed packing list. Actual fit depends on furniture dimensions, appliance sizes, disassembly, container strength, shelving, door clearance, and the amount of access space you leave.

Measure large belongings and consider the entire move-in route, including entrances, corridors, elevator access, and the unit door.

Comparing 10x20 and 10x25 Units

10x20 Storage Units

A 10x20 unit may work for a substantial household transition, furniture from several rooms, appliances, moving boxes, or permitted business supplies.

It may be suitable when a medium-sized unit would require overly tight packing or leave little room for an access path.

10x25 Storage Units

A 10x25 unit provides additional room for larger household inventories, bulky furniture, business equipment, or belongings that need to remain easier to retrieve.

The extra space may also be useful when freestanding shelving or a wider aisle is part of the storage plan.

Do not automatically select the larger option. Inventory and measure your belongings before comparing the available layouts.

Common Reasons to Rent a Large Unit

Moving Between Homes

Housing schedules do not always align.

A large unit may provide temporary space for permitted furniture, appliances, boxes, and household belongings while you wait for a new home to become ready.

Keep medications, identification, keys, housing documents, chargers, work supplies, and daily necessities with you.

Renovating a Home

Renovation projects often require several rooms to be cleared.

Moving furniture and boxes out of the active work area may give contractors more room while helping keep household belongings separated from dust and equipment.

Paint, fuel, hazardous chemicals, and other restricted materials should not be placed inside the unit.

Downsizing

A large unit may provide temporary room while deciding which belongings will fit comfortably in a smaller home.

Create an inventory and review the stored contents periodically rather than postponing sorting indefinitely.

Staging a Home for Sale

Removing extra furniture and household overflow may make rooms easier to organize before listing a property.

Items should be clean, dry, packed appropriately, and arranged so they can be retrieved when needed.

Business Storage

Large units may be suitable for permitted inactive inventory, office furniture, tools, marketing materials, event equipment, packaging supplies, and general business belongings.

A storage unit should not be used as:

  • An office

  • A storefront

  • A workshop

  • An employee work area

  • A repair or production space

  • A fulfillment center

  • A customer pickup location

  • A freight-receiving area

  • A place to charge batteries or operate equipment

Confirm unusual inventory, powered equipment, regulated materials, and intended business use before move-in.

Climate-Controlled and Heated Options

SecureSpace Everett offers climate-controlled and heated storage options.

These features may help reduce exposure to temperature swings and cold conditions compared with an unconditioned space. They do not provide confirmed humidity regulation and cannot guarantee protection against mold, rust, corrosion, warping, fading, odors, or other deterioration.

Climate-controlled or heated storage may be worth considering for compatible belongings containing:

  • Electronics

  • Wooden furniture

  • Leather

  • Paper records

  • Photographs

  • Musical instruments

  • Specialized fabrics

  • Materials with manufacturer temperature guidance

Not every belonging requires climate-controlled storage. Suitability depends on the materials, preparation, storage duration, and manufacturer recommendations.

All items should be clean and dry before move-in, regardless of the unit type.

Indoor and Drive-Up Storage

SecureSpace Everett offers indoor and drive-up storage options.

Indoor Units

Indoor units are reached through the building. Elevator access is available for units located away from the ground level.

Measure bulky furniture and appliances to ensure they can pass through entrances, corridors, elevators, and the unit door.

Drive-Up Units

Drive-up units allow customers to park closer to the storage door, which may simplify moving furniture, appliances, boxes, tools, and other permitted belongings.

Drive-up access does not authorize freight operations, large commercial deliveries, equipment operation, or vehicle storage inside the unit.

Vehicles cannot be stored inside drive-up units at SecureSpace Everett.

Vehicle Storage Is Separate

Customers should not rent a large storage unit with the expectation that a car, motorcycle, truck, RV, boat, trailer, or other vehicle can be placed inside.

SecureSpace Everett offers outdoor parking for eligible cars, boats, RVs, and other approved motor vehicles. Vehicle eligibility depends on dimensions, documentation, facility rules, and current inventory.

Trailer, camper, commercial-truck, and heavy-equipment storage should not be assumed.

Preparing Furniture and Appliances

Clean and Dry Everything

Remove dirt, dust, grease, food, and residue before storage.

Use cleaning products appropriate for each material and allow every surface to dry completely before applying covers.

Disassemble Furniture When Practical

Bed frames, tables, shelving, and desks may occupy less space when detachable components are removed.

Place hardware in a labeled bag and keep it securely with the corresponding item.

Prepare Appliances

Clean and dry appliances thoroughly.

Remove food, standing water, and residue, and follow manufacturer instructions for transportation and storage.

Protect Surfaces

Use suitable moving blankets, furniture covers, appliance covers, or padding.

Do not tightly seal damp belongings in plastic or place heavy containers on delicate surfaces.

Packing Boxes and Containers

Use Appropriate Containers

Smaller boxes may work well for dense belongings such as books, dishes, documents, and hand tools.

Larger boxes are generally better suited to lightweight belongings such as bedding, towels, pillows, and clothing.

Keep Heavy Boxes Low

Place heavier containers at the bottom of stable stacks.

Avoid stacking beyond the strength of the boxes or placing heavy belongings above fragile items.

Label the Sides

Mark each container with its contents and intended room.

Side labels remain visible when boxes are stacked.

Fill Empty Space

Use suitable packing paper or cushioning material to reduce movement.

Avoid materials that may stain, transfer ink, or react with the contents.

Organizing a Large Unit

Plan the Layout

Decide where furniture, appliances, boxes, shelving, and frequently needed belongings will go before loading begins.

A basic sketch can make the move-in process more orderly.

Use Freestanding Shelving

Stable freestanding shelving can help organize containers and smaller belongings.

Do not drill into walls, attach hooks, install pegboards, or otherwise modify the unit without written permission.

Leave an Access Path

A tightly packed unit may hold more belongings but become difficult to use.

Leave enough room to reach important items without unloading the entire unit.

Keep Frequently Needed Items Near the Entrance

Seasonal belongings, business supplies, and boxes you expect to retrieve should remain accessible.

Longer-term items can be placed farther inside when they do not block the path.

Maintain an Inventory

Record what is stored and its general location.

Update the inventory whenever items are added, removed, or rearranged.

Rates and Rental Terms

Rates depend on the unit size, unit type, current inventory, facility features, and promotional terms.

Review the current facility listing rather than relying on an old price or third-party market estimate.

Before renting, confirm:

  • The current rental rate

  • Promotional terms

  • Additional charges

  • Coverage requirements

  • Billing dates

  • Rate-adjustment provisions

  • Notice requirements

  • Access procedures
