Start by understanding how much you're moving. Our 10x15 unit offers 150 sq. ft. of floor space, but actual capacity depends on your belongings and how they're arranged.
How big is a 10x15 storage unit in practical terms?
Depending on the items' dimensions, it may fit a sofa or loveseat, a dining table and chairs, a bed frame, a mattress, a dresser, small appliances, storage containers, and multiple moving boxes.
Before reserving, list your larger furniture pieces and estimate how many boxes you'll need. Measure bulky items, particularly those with awkward shapes or parts that cannot be disassembled.
Remember that floor space alone doesn't determine capacity. Available height, doorway clearance, safe stacking, and walking space also matter. A home's bedroom count isn't a reliable guarantee that everything will fit.
A little planning can make your storage unit easier to use throughout your move.
Position large furniture and belongings you won't need immediately toward the back. Place stable, heavier boxes underneath lighter ones, and avoid stacking heavy objects on fragile items.
Disassemble suitable bed frames and tables to save space. Keep mattresses properly supported, group boxes by room, and label them where you can easily see the contents.
If you'll be visiting the unit regularly, leave a clear path to essential boxes, tools, and cleaning supplies near the entrance.
Storage requirements can change depending on whether you're bridging a short gap between moving dates, completing a renovation, or downsizing over several months.
Bay Self Storage offers a four-week minimum rental, with the option to continue for longer periods. Rentals are billed every four weeks rather than by calendar month.
The cost of a 10x15 storage unit depends on the applicable rate and total rental duration, with taxes extra. We don't charge administrative fees, but a refundable $50 security deposit is required.

The right storage environment depends on what you're storing and whether those belongings can tolerate seasonal temperature changes.
Bay Self Storage’s published rates reflect current availability, which may include heated or unheated storage units.
Our heated storage units maintain temperatures of at least 10°C, helping protect belongings from exposure to freezing conditions during Nova Scotia winters.
Heated storage may be preferable for certain wooden or upholstered furniture, decorative household possessions, and materials that could deteriorate after prolonged exposure to low temperatures.
However, heating doesn't provide regulated humidity control or guarantee protection from moisture damage. Always consider your belongings' materials, condition, packaging, and the manufacturer's recommendations.
If you're specifically looking for a 10x15 heated storage unit, contact our team to confirm available heated configurations and sizes before reserving.
Our 10x15 unheated storage unit is a practical choice for durable belongings that can handle seasonal temperature changes.
Suitable items may include clean, dry plastic containers, bicycles, sturdy shelving, garden equipment, tools, and certain household or business supplies.
Unheated storage doesn't maintain a fixed temperature or actively regulate humidity. Make sure belongings are completely dry before storing them, use appropriate protective packaging, and consider the environmental requirements of sensitive materials.
Electronics, paper records, certain furniture finishes, liquids, and batteries may require additional precautions or different storage conditions.
