Dickinson, ND has one of the most practical storage-renting communities in North Dakota — energy workers needing fast flexible solutions, farming families storing seasonal equipment, and homeowners managing full household transitions all have different needs and all benefit from getting the unit size right from day one.
Dickinson's storage renters have practical storage needs that reflect the demands of western North Dakota life — and those needs are often larger than people from other parts of the country would estimate. North Dakota's active hunting and outdoor lifestyle adds significant equipment volume beyond baseline household items. Energy industry workers with changing housing situations need flexible storage that can scale quickly. Farming and ranching families store seasonal equipment that varies dramatically in size and volume throughout the year. Storage Unit of Dickinson offers the full range of unit sizes to match every situation — and our team has the experience to help every renter make the right choice before they sign or start loading.
Here is a practical breakdown of what each standard unit size accommodates so Dickinson renters can make an informed decision before they rent.
Energy industry worker in temporary housing: 5x10 to 10x10 depending on how much of a household is being stored during a rotation or temporary assignment. Fast flexible month-to-month rental is especially important for this situation. Hunting and outdoor enthusiast: 5x10 handles the average Dickinson hunter's seasonal gear load; add a 10x10 if snowmobiles ATVs or larger equipment are also being stored. Dickinson apartment dweller with seasonal overflow: 5x5 to 5x10 for the seasonal rotation of North Dakota's demanding four-season wardrobe and gear requirements. Dickinson homeowner during a move or renovation: 10x15 to 10x20 for a standard household move; 10x30 for a larger home or combined household situation. Farming or ranch family with seasonal equipment: 10x20 to 10x30 depending on the type and volume of equipment — call (701) 690-5512 and the team at Storage Unit of Dickinson will assess your specific needs and recommend the right size.
North Dakota's practical no-nonsense culture carries over into the best storage setups — every square foot should be working. Start by disassembling all furniture that comes apart before loading — this is the most impactful single step you can take to increase usable space. Use medium-sized uniform boxes and fill each completely before sealing. Install heavy-duty metal shelving along the back wall before loading — shelving immediately adds vertical storage levels to any unit without increasing floor footprint. For hunting and seasonal gear put the current season at the front of the unit so access is always quick and efficient. For North Dakota winters remove batteries from all stored electronics and equipment before they go into the unit — cold temperatures cause battery damage even in climate-controlled storage if batteries are left in devices for extended periods.
