Calculating how many boxes a 10x10 Carson City self storage unit can hold, isn’t always easy. If you chose to store only medium-sized boxes with dimensions of about 20 inches by 20 inches, you could store approximately 144 boxes in a 10x10 unit!

Most renters store a combination of items like sofas, desks, chairs and shelves. What other belongings you choose to store in your 10x10 unit will impact the total number of boxes you’ll be able to fit.
