What Fits in a 14x20 Storage Unit

Published on 11/8/2026

A 14x20 storage unit holds about 280 square feet, which is enough for the contents of a full 3-bedroom house or a lightly furnished 4-bedroom, including a couch, refrigerator, washer and dryer, and a dining set. At AA Personal Storage in Parowan, Utah, a 14x20 rents for $145 a month (as listed in November 2026), with a 10-foot or 11.5-foot ceiling.

A 14x20 is a large, wide unit. It is 14 feet across and 20 feet deep, so you can load furniture in two or three rows instead of one long line, and you can leave a walking aisle down the middle. This guide covers what fits, how it compares with nearby sizes, how to load it, and what it costs at our facility at 450 N 600 W in Parowan. For every size on our lot, see the full storage unit size guide.

How Big Is a 14x20 Storage Unit?

A 14x20 storage unit is 14 feet wide by 20 feet deep, or 280 square feet of floor space. At AA Personal Storage in Parowan, Utah, it comes in two heights: a 10-foot ceiling (about 2,800 cubic feet) and an 11.5-foot ceiling (about 3,220 cubic feet).

Here are the specs our Rent page lists for both versions:

Spec 14x20x10 14x20x11.5
Floor space 280 sq ft 280 sq ft
Ceiling height 10 ft 11.5 ft
Approximate volume 2,800 cu ft 3,220 cu ft
Door type Roll-up Roll-up
Door opening 7 ft 11 in wide x 8 ft high 7 ft 11 in wide x 8 ft high
Inside lighting No No
Monthly rate (Nov 2026) $145 $145
Availability (Nov 8, 2026) Only 2 left Only 1 left

To picture it: 280 square feet is a little larger than a typical one-car garage stall, and it is roughly the size of a large living room. The volume figures are simple math (length times width times height), not usable packed space, since you will lose some room to aisles and gaps.

Both versions rent for the same price, so if you plan to stack boxes high, ask for the 11.5-foot ceiling while one is open.

What Fits in a 14x20 Storage Unit?

A 14x20 fits the furniture, boxes, and appliances from most 3-bedroom homes, or a 4-bedroom home without a full garage. Our Rent page describes it as fitting "the contents of a multi-bedroom house, including several oversized items like a couch, a refrigerator, a washer/dryer and a dining room set or several large boxes."

Here is a realistic load for a 14x20. Treat it as a general estimate, since every household packs differently:

  • Living room: a sectional or sofa and loveseat, two armchairs, a coffee table, end tables, a TV stand, and a bookcase
  • Kitchen and dining: a full-size refrigerator, a dining table with six to eight chairs, a hutch or buffet, and boxed dishes
  • Bedrooms: three bed frames with mattresses (including a king or queen), three dressers, nightstands, and a desk
  • Laundry: a washer and dryer
  • Boxes: roughly 60 to 100 medium moving boxes, depending on how much furniture you also store
  • Garage and yard: a lawn mower, bikes, tool chests, a grill, patio furniture, and holiday bins

What does not fit: vehicles. AA Personal Storage does not allow cars, trucks, boats, or RVs in enclosed units, even large ones. Those go in our outdoor parking, which starts at $30 a month for a 10x30 space. Snowmobiles and ATVs are welcome in outdoor parking too.

Also leave out anything on our FAQ's prohibited list, such as gasoline, propane, and ammunition. Drain fuel from mowers and small engines before storing them.

Is a 14x20 Big Enough for a 3-Bedroom or 4-Bedroom House?

Yes for most 3-bedroom homes, and often yes for a lightly furnished 4-bedroom. A 14x20 is the size we point to when a 3-bedroom house includes appliances and a full garage, or when a 4-bedroom family is keeping only the essentials.

Here is how it usually lines up:

Home size Typical fit at AAPS Monthly rate (Nov 2026)
3-bedroom, lightly furnished, no appliances 10x25 $125
3-bedroom with appliances and garage items 14x20 $145
4-bedroom, keeping essentials only 14x20 or 15x20 $145 to $155
Full 4-bedroom with appliances and garage 20x26 (20x25 is waitlisted) $210

For the room-by-room math, see our guides on storage unit size for a 3-bedroom house and storage unit size for a 4-bedroom house.

How Does a 14x20 Compare to a 10x25 or 15x20?

A 14x20 has 30 more square feet than a 10x25 and 20 fewer than a 15x20. The bigger difference is shape: a 14x20 is wide and short, while a 10x25 is narrow and long, so the 14x20 is easier to reach into without unloading everything in front.

Feature 10x25 14x20 15x20
Floor space 250 sq ft 280 sq ft 300 sq ft
Ceiling 9 ft 10 or 11.5 ft 10 ft
Door opening (W x H) 8 ft x 7 ft 10 in 7 ft 11 in x 8 ft 11.5 ft x 8 ft
Monthly rate (Nov 2026) $125 $145 $155
Cost per sq ft per month about $0.50 about $0.52 about $0.52
Best for A long single row, a 3-bedroom without much garage Two or three rows, a full 3-bedroom, tall stacks Wide furniture, the widest door we offer

A few practical takeaways:

  • Choose the 10x25 if you want the lowest monthly cost for a 3-bedroom and do not mind loading in one deep row. See what fits in a 10x25.
  • Choose the 14x20 if you want higher ceilings, room for an aisle, and easier access to items you will need again before you move out.
  • Choose the 15x20 if you are storing very wide pieces, since its 11.5-foot door is the widest on our enclosed units.

Who Rents a 14x20 Storage Unit?

Most 14x20 renters are families between homes, people remodeling, or small businesses that need floor space. In Parowan and nearby towns like Cedar City, Enoch, Paragonah, Summit, and Brian Head, these are the most common reasons we see:

Moving between houses. When a closing date and a move-out date do not line up, a 14x20 holds a whole house for a few weeks or months. Month-to-month rentals mean you only pay for the time you need. Our smart moving tips cover timing.

Remodels. Emptying several rooms at once for flooring, paint, or a kitchen redo is easier with a wide unit and an aisle. See self-storage for home renovations.

Selling a home. Clearing furniture and boxes makes rooms look larger for photos and showings. Read how self-storage helps with home staging.

Small business stock and equipment. Contractors, retailers, and event businesses use the floor space for inventory, tools, and seasonal displays. See using a storage unit for your business.

Cabin and second-home overflow. Brian Head cabin owners use larger units for furniture during remodels or between seasons. See storage for Brian Head cabins.

How Should You Pack a 14x20 Storage Unit?

Pack a 14x20 in rows from back to front, heaviest items first, and keep a center aisle so you can reach things later. The width lets you run two or three rows side by side instead of filling one deep stack.

A loading plan that works well:

  1. Measure your widest pieces first. The door opening is 7 feet 11 inches wide and 8 feet high. Most sofas, dressers, and appliances pass through easily; very wide sectionals or tall armoires may need to be split or tipped.
  2. Back wall: appliances and heavy furniture. Put the refrigerator, washer, dryer, and dressers along the back. Leave refrigerator and washer doors slightly open so they can air out.
  3. Side walls: beds and tall items. Stand mattresses and headboards on edge along a side wall, wrapped in covers.
  4. Middle rows: boxes, heaviest on the bottom. Use the 10-foot or 11.5-foot ceiling, but keep stacks stable. Label every box on at least two sides.
  5. Leave an aisle. A path about 2 to 3 feet wide down the center lets you reach the back without unloading.
  6. Front: items you will need soon. Tools, seasonal bins, and anything you might grab before move-out go near the door.

Our units are standard drive-up units, not climate controlled. Use plastic bins for paper, photos, and fabric, raise furniture off the floor on pallets, and avoid storing anything that cannot handle Parowan's cold winters and warm summers. See how to pack your storage unit for easy use and storing items on pallets.

Because units are drive-up and ground level, with asphalt leading to every enclosed unit, you can back a moving truck or trailer right to the door. There is no inside lighting in the 14x20, so a battery lantern helps if you load in the evening.
