What actually fits in 50 square feet
Think of a 5x10 as one room of stuff. The contents of a studio apartment fit with planning: mattress and box spring on their sides along a wall, dresser and desk stacked with boxes, a small couch on end. It comfortably swallows 10 to 15 medium boxes plus a few bulky items, or a full set of seasonal gear: holiday decorations, camping and hunting equipment, or the lawn tools that are crowding your garage.
The unit is 5 feet wide and 10 feet deep. Load long items front to back, keep what you will need again soonest near the door, and leave a sliver of aisle so nothing has to be unstacked to reach the back.
Who rents a 5x10
- Students. A dorm room or shared-apartment bedroom fits easily over summer break, and ULM is 10 to 15 minutes away across the river.
- Renters between places. One room of furniture and boxes during a move or lease gap, without paying for space you do not need.
- Households decluttering. Seasonal decorations, sports gear, and keepsakes out of the house but 5 minutes from it.
- Small businesses. Records, samples, signage, and event materials that do not justify a bigger footprint.
Is a 5x10 the right size, or do you need a 10x10?
The honest test: count rooms. One room or less of belongings fits a 5x10. A full 1-bedroom apartment, with appliances or a washer and dryer, wants a 10x10, which doubles the floor space. Because leases here are month to month with no deposit, guessing small is a cheap mistake to fix: you can move up a size whenever one is open, and our size guide walks through every option with real examples.
The short version: 50 square feet of drive-up space with a roll-up door, rented online in minutes, month to month, no deposit, with 24/7 gated keypad access. The live rate is always on the booking page.

5x10 storage FAQ
How big is a 5x10 storage unit, really?
A 5x10 unit is 5 feet wide and 10 feet deep, which is 50 square feet of floor space, about the footprint of a walk-in closet or half of a standard 1-car garage bay. At Cypress every 5x10 is a ground-level drive-up unit with its own roll-up door, so you load straight from your vehicle with no hallways or stairs.
What fits in a 5x10 storage unit?
The contents of a studio apartment or a single room: a mattress set, a dresser, a desk or small couch, a TV, and 10 to 15 boxes. It is also the go-to size for seasonal gear like holiday decorations, camping and hunting equipment, lawn tools, or a semester of dorm furniture. If you are storing a whole 1-bedroom apartment, step up to a 10x10.
How much does a 5x10 unit cost in West Monroe?
Prices at Cypress are dynamic, so the honest answer is on the booking page, which shows the live rate for every available size. The 5x10 is our smallest and lowest-priced unit. There is no deposit, leases are month to month, and the only extra charges are a one-time $20 admin fee at move-in and a $20 late fee if rent is unpaid by day 5.
Are 5x10 units available right now?
The booking page shows live availability straight from our management system, so what it lists as open really is open. You can rent a 5x10 online in about 5 minutes at any hour, and your gate code is delivered digitally the moment checkout completes, so same-day and even middle-of-the-night move-ins work fine.
Is a 5x10 unit climate controlled?
No. Every unit at Cypress Mini Storage, including the 5x10, is an outdoor drive-up unit without climate control. That suits furniture, boxes, tools, appliances, and most household goods. If your items genuinely need temperature control, such as fine art or delicate instruments, a climate-controlled facility is the better choice and we say so plainly.
Can I store a motorcycle or lawn mower in a 5x10?
No. Our units are for household and business goods only; we do not store vehicles of any kind, including motorcycles, and gasoline-powered equipment must be fully drained of fuel before storage. A drained push mower or trimmer is fine. If you need vehicle storage, a dedicated vehicle storage facility is the right fit.
