Discover a spacious indoor storage option at Red Barn Storage. Our 10×15 climate-controlled units give you 150 square feet of secure, temperature-regulated space inside our energy-efficient converted barn at 3901 Hickory Grove Rd., Davenport, IA 52806. This is the size most renters choose when a 5×10 is too tight and a full garage-sized unit is more than they need—ideal for the contents of a one- or two-bedroom apartment, a mix of furniture and boxes, or business inventory that should not sit in Iowa heat, cold, or humidity. You get 24-hour access and Nokē smart-entry technology with the protection of a fully indoor climate-controlled building.
Why Choose a 10×15 Climate-Controlled Unit at Red Barn Storage?
A 10×15 unit offers three times the floor space of a 5×10 and six times a 5×5, without jumping all the way to our largest indoor sizes. It is a practical middle ground for households, students moving between apartments, and small businesses that need room to walk in, organize, and retrieve items later. Here’s what sets this size apart at Red Barn Storage:
- Climate-Controlled Protection: Indoor units stay in a steady temperature range (typically 55–80°F) with reduced humidity year-round. That helps protect furniture finishes, electronics, documents, textiles, and wood from Iowa winters, humid summers, freeze-thaw cycles, mold, warping, and condensation.
- Enhanced Security: Every climate-controlled unit is inside the main building. The facility uses 24/7 access, more than 30 security cameras, bright LED lighting, and controlled building entry. You do not need a traditional padlock. The Nokē smart entry system provides keyless, app-based access that is both more convenient and harder to tamper with than a pickable lock.
- Space-Efficient Design: Roll-up doors keep the doorway clear so you can use the full width of the unit. With approximately 8–10 ft ceilings, a 10×15 offers about 1,200–1,500 cubic feet of stackable volume—enough to store furniture on the floor and boxes or bins above.
- Modern Convenience: Unlock with your smartphone through the Storage Smart Entry app (iOS and Android). Share a digital key with family, friends, or movers and revoke it whenever you want. Bluetooth and motion sensing let you open the door from about 3 feet away.
- Practical Amenities: Parking is available outside the building, units are indoors with direct access for loading, moving carts are available on site, and the converted-barn facility is built to run efficiently so climate control stays practical.
What Can You Store in a 10×15 Climate-Controlled Unit?
Think of a 10×15 as a large bedroom or a small one-car garage stall: wide enough for standard furniture, deep enough for an aisle, and tall enough to stack. Climate control makes it a strong choice when the items themselves matter—wood furniture, mattresses, electronics, records, instruments, or boxed household goods you plan to use again.
Common Items That Fit Comfortably
- Furniture & Household Goods: A king or queen mattress and box spring, sofa or sectional pieces, recliner, dresser, nightstands, dining table with chairs, bookcases, coffee table, and a washer and dryer or refrigerator. Many renters fit the main furniture from a one-bedroom or modest two-bedroom apartment plus boxed belongings.
- Seasonal & Recreational Storage: Holiday décor, off-season clothing in wardrobe boxes, patio furniture, grills (cleaned and dry), camping gear, multiple bicycles stored vertically, golf clubs, skis, snowboards, and larger sporting equipment that should stay out of damp garages.
- Sensitive Items Protected by Climate Control: Flat-screen TVs, computers, gaming systems, stereo equipment, paper files and tax records, books, photo albums, artwork, collectibles, wooden or leather furniture, musical instruments, textiles, and wine or other items that do poorly in an unconditioned space.
- Other Popular Uses: Apartment-to-apartment moves, home staging, kitchen or basement remodels, small-business inventory and archived records, military or traveling professionals who need a Quad Cities landing spot, and household overflow when a garage is already full.
Visual Size Comparison
- About the size of a large bedroom.
- Typically holds the furniture from a 1-bedroom apartment, or the major pieces from a 2-bedroom apartment if you pack tightly and use vertical space.
- A common layout is a sofa and mattress along one wall, a dining set or appliances along the other, and 30–50 moving boxes stacked toward the back, with a narrow walkway down the center.
- Compared with a 5×10, you gain the width to place furniture side by side instead of in a single-file line.
What Typically Won’t Fit: The entire contents of a large 3-bedroom house, several bulky living-room sets at once, or long items that need more than 15 feet of clear depth. If you are storing a full household plus lawn equipment and garage overflow, look at a 12×16 climate-controlled unit or a larger drive-up unit. Vehicles belong in drive-up or outdoor parking, not in these indoor units.
Pro Tip for Maximizing Space: Build a center aisle on day one so you can reach boxes later. Disassemble bed frames and table legs. Stand mattresses on edge if you need floor space for furniture. Use labeled, stackable bins on shelving for items you will access often, and put long-term boxes along the back wall. Keep a small step stool inside if you plan to stack near the ceiling.
Smart Entry System: Keyless Access Made Simple
Our Nokē smart entry system removes the hassle and security risks of traditional keys and padlocks. It is ADA compliant, automated, and designed for everyday use:
- Download the Storage Smart Entry app, link your phone number, and set up a secure PIN.
- Unlock by tapping the LED on the door in the app—no physical key and no lock to cut.
- Share revocable digital keys with movers, family members, or coworkers.
- Use built-in monitoring, motion sensing, and access logging for a clearer record of who opened the unit.
The climate-controlled building itself also uses controlled entry. You enter the barn with your phone or personal code, then open your own unit with the same system.
Who Is a 10×15 Climate-Controlled Unit Perfect For?
- Households in Transition: Moving between apartments, selling a home, or renovating a kitchen, basement, or extra bedroom.
- Families Who Need a “Second Garage”: Seasonal décor, spare furniture, and boxed belongings that should not live in an unfinished attic or damp basement.
- College Students & Young Professionals: Store a full apartment over the summer or keep furniture between leases in the Quad Cities.
- Small Business Owners: Hold extra inventory, product samples, display pieces, or records in a stable indoor environment instead of a warehouse corner that swings with the weather.
- Collectors & Anyone Storing Value: Instruments, artwork, antiques, photos, and electronics last longer when temperature and humidity stay in a moderate range.
Iowa’s climate is hard on stored goods. Unconditioned spaces can invite condensation on electronics, mold on paper and fabric, and movement in wood furniture. A 10×15 indoor unit is sized for real household contents and built to keep those items in better condition.
