What else matters here
Two hundred square feet. This is the largest common self storage unit and it is also, near enough, a single car garage bay.
As a storage unit it is quoted as holding the contents of a two or three bedroom house, and it is roughly the footprint a car occupies with room to open a door. As a garage it is tight: a single bay is more comfortably 12 by 22, because 10 feet of width leaves about 2 feet on each side of a mid size car and that is before shelving. As a room, 200 square feet is a long narrow shape that reads as a bowling alley unless it is furnished in two zones.
What this calculator assumes
- Length times width, times how many areas are that size. For an L shaped room, split it into two rectangles and run this twice.
- Square yards are square feet divided by nine, which is how carpet is still quoted in much of the country.
