What else matters here
Eighty square feet, and it is one of the most searched sizes on the internet because it is the second most common self storage unit in the country.
As a storage unit, 80 square feet with an eight foot ceiling holds roughly the contents of a one bedroom apartment: a bed, a sofa, a dresser, boxes and a few appliances, if it is packed to the ceiling rather than walked through. As a room, it clears the 70 square foot habitable minimum and works as a small bedroom, a home office or a sewing room.
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.
