This guide breaks down everything we offer so you can pick the size and type that actually fits your needs and budget.

Climate-Controlled vs. Standard Units: What's the Difference?
Before choosing a size, it's worth deciding which type of unit fits your items:
- Climate-Controlled, Inside Units maintain a more consistent temperature and humidity level, protecting sensitive items from Shenandoah Valley's seasonal swings — think electronics, wood furniture, photos, documents, instruments, and antiques. These units are accessed from inside the building.
- Standard Self Storage, Outside Units offer drive-up convenience, making it easy to load and unload directly from your vehicle. These are a great value option for items that don't need temperature protection — tools, outdoor equipment, vehicles, appliances, and general household goods.
If you're not sure which your items need, a good rule of thumb: anything that could be damaged by heat, cold, or moisture (paper, electronics, wood, leather) belongs in climate control. Everything else can typically go in a standard outside unit.
Small Units: 5x9 & 5x10
Our smallest units are a great fit for single-room storage, seasonal items, or business overflow.
5x9, Climate Control, Outside ($110/mo) — Roughly the size of a small walk-in closet, this unit is ideal for boxes, seasonal decorations, small furniture, or sensitive items like electronics and documents that benefit from climate protection, with the convenience of outside access.
5x10, Self Storage, Outside ($75/mo) — A budget-friendly option for the same general capacity (a small closet's worth of items) without climate control. Great for tools, sports equipment, holiday decor, or general household overflow that doesn't need temperature protection. Available with or without an alarm add-on.
Medium Units: 10x5, 10x10 & 10x15
These mid-sized units suit apartment moves, partial home storage, or growing businesses.
10x5, Climate Control, Inside ($110/mo) — Comparable in capacity to our 5x10 but with climate control and inside access — a strong choice for protecting furniture, mattresses, or business records from temperature swings.
10x10 units come in two options:
- Climate Control, Inside ($150/mo) — Holds the contents of a small bedroom or studio apartment, including a bed, dresser, and several boxes, with full climate protection.
- Self Storage, Outside ($120/mo) — Same capacity at a lower price point, with drive-up convenience, for non-sensitive items.
10x15 units also come in two formats:
- Self Storage, Outside ($150/mo) — Comparable to a large bedroom, this size handles the furniture from a 2-3 bedroom home, plus boxes.
- Self Storage, Inside ($150/mo) — Same size and price, but accessed from inside the building rather than via outside drive-up — a good option if you prefer the building's added shelter without paying for full climate control.
Large Units: 10x20, 10x25 & 10x30
For full household moves, vehicle storage, or business inventory, our larger units offer the most space. 10x20 units offer two paths depending on your priorities:
- Self Storage, Outside ($170/mo) — Roughly the size of a one-car garage. Fits the contents of a 3-4 bedroom home, a vehicle, or a mix of household goods and equipment, with easy drive-up loading.
- Climate Control, Inside ($240/mo) — Same generous footprint with full climate protection, ideal for storing furniture, electronics, or business inventory long-term.
10x25, Self Storage, Outside ($190/mo) — Extra depth for larger households, vehicles, or business equipment that needs more than a standard 10x20 can offer.
10x30, Self Storage, Outside ($210/mo) — Our largest unit, comparable to a two-car garage. Well-suited for a full home's furnishings, multiple vehicles, boats, RVs, or substantial business inventory.
Storage for Boats & RVs
In addition to our standard unit lineup, Valley Self Storage accommodates boats, RVs, and other oversized vehicles. If you need space for a vehicle that exceeds our largest standard unit, contact us directly to discuss available options and pricing for vehicle storage.
How to Choose
A few quick questions to help narrow it down:
Does it need climate protection? Electronics, wood furniture, paper records, and antiques should go in one of our climate-controlled units. Tools, outdoor gear, and most household items do fine in standard outside units.
How much are you storing? Use the size comparisons above as a guide — when in doubt, size up rather than down, especially if you'll need walking room to access items regularly.
Do you want inside or outside access? Outside, drive-up units are the most convenient for frequent loading and unloading. Inside units (climate-controlled or not) offer added shelter from the elements.
