How Big Is a 35 Square Foot Storage Unit?

A 35 square foot storage unit measures 7 feet wide by 5 feet deep, with a height between 7 and 10 feet. In total, it offers around 350 cubic feet of usable storage space, roughly the size of a garden shed, walk-in wardrobe or the back of a small van.

While it may be on the smaller side, this unit is both versatile and efficient, making it a popular choice for personal storage, student moves, or small business needs.

What can fit in a 35 sq ft Storage unit

A 35 sq ft storage unit is ideal for storing small to medium-sized items. With smart packing, here’s what you can typically fit:

  • The contents of a double bedroom or a studio flat
  • Up to 90–100 medium-sized boxes
  • Smaller appliances like a microwave, mini fridge, or air conditioner
  • Foldable or collapsible outdoor furniture

Ideally, you’ll want to take full advantage of the unit’s vertical height of 8 to 10 feet. Do so by stacking boxes, storing furniture upright, and using shelving or storage tubs where possible.

Is a 35 sq ft Unit Right for You?

A 35 sq ft unit is ideal if you need extra space without committing to something too large or expensive. It’s best suited for:

  • Students needing storage over the summer break
  • People between moves, especially if downsizing or waiting for a new place
  • Homeowners decluttering a spare room, loft, or hallway
  • Frequent travellers who need a place to store personal belongings
  • Small business owners keeping tools, stock, or promotional materials off-site

If your items can fill a car or small van but don’t quite justify a full-size storage room, 35 sq ft strikes a practical balance — affordable, accessible, and easy to manage.
