When the furniture is wide, an extra foot of unit width is more useful than another foot of depth. Our 11×15 climate-controlled units offer 165 square feet of indoor, temperature-regulated space at 3901 Hickory Grove Rd., Davenport, IA 52806. That is 15 square feet more than a 10×15, and the extra foot is on the side you feel when you carry in a sofa, dresser, or refrigerator. These units sit in the converted barn with climate control, 24-hour access, and Nokē smart entry—built for household and business items that should stay out of Iowa’s unconditioned air.
Why Choose an 11×15 Climate-Controlled Unit at Red Barn Storage?
An 11×15 is a width-first size. You keep the 15-foot depth of the popular 10×15 and gain room to place furniture side by side or leave a more comfortable walkway. It is a smart step up when a 10-foot-wide unit would force you to stack pieces in a way you cannot live with later.
- Climate-Controlled Protection: Indoor temperatures typically stay between 55°F and 80°F with reduced humidity. That helps prevent mold on fabrics and paper, warping in wood, condensation on electronics, and finish damage during Davenport’s hot summers and cold winters.
- Enhanced Security: Units are inside the main building, not on an open drive aisle. The site uses 24/7 access, more than 30 cameras, LED lighting, and controlled entry. Keyless Nokē locks mean you are not depending on a hardware-store padlock.
- Space-Efficient Design: The 11-foot width is the feature. Roll-up doors keep the opening usable, and 8–10 ft ceilings create about 1,320–1,650 cubic feet of volume. You can stand mattresses, park a sofa and a row of boxes beside it, and still turn around inside the unit.
- Modern Convenience: Unlock with the Storage Smart Entry app for iOS and Android, share digital keys, and revoke access when a move is finished. Motion sensing and Bluetooth support hands-free entry from a few feet away.
- Practical Amenities: Parking, indoor access, moving carts, and an energy-efficient barn conversion designed for climate-controlled storage rather than seasonal warehouse space.
What Can You Store in an 11×15 Climate-Controlled Unit?
An 11×15 compares to a large bedroom that is a little wider than standard. It is meant for a one- or two-bedroom household, a living-room set that will not squeeze into a 10-foot unit, or business goods you want to reach without unloading a wall of boxes.
Common Items That Fit Comfortably
- Furniture & Household Goods: Sofa and matching chairs, king or queen bed, dressers, nightstands, dining set, bookcases, and full-size appliances. The extra width is especially helpful for sectionals, wide dressers, and refrigerators that are awkward in a 10-foot unit.
- Seasonal & Recreational Storage: Patio furniture stacked on its side, holiday collections, sporting equipment, bikes, and boxed clothing. Wider floor space also makes it easier to keep a small work zone near the door if you visit the unit often.
- Sensitive Items Protected by Climate Control: Electronics, documents, books, photos, instruments, artwork, antiques, wood and leather furniture, and textiles that should not sit in a damp garage or hot attic.
- Other Popular Uses: Home staging, kitchen and living-room remodels, apartment combinations when two households merge, and small-retail overflow that needs climate stability.
Visual Size Comparison
- Floor area is 165 square feet—15 more than a 10×15 and 5 more than a 10×16.
- The gain is width, not depth. If your limiting items are sofas, dressers, appliances, or a path down the middle, this size is usually the better upgrade than a 10×16.
- Expect to fit a 1–2 bedroom apartment load with a more comfortable aisle than you would have in a packed 10×15.
- Still compact enough that you are not renting unused corners the way you might in a much larger drive-up unit.
What Typically Won’t Fit: A large 3-bedroom home, multiple living-room sets, or long items that need more than 15 feet of clear depth. If depth is the problem, compare the 10×16. If you need both extra width and extra depth, choose the 12×16.
Pro Tip for Maximizing Space: Place the widest pieces against the 15-foot walls first, then use the extra foot of width as your aisle. Do not fill that aisle later with “just one more” box. Keep appliances and furniture off the door swing, and stack only as high as you can safely reach or shelf.
Smart Entry System: Keyless Access Made Simple
Indoor units use the Nokē smart entry system. It is ADA compliant and replaces padlocks:
- Set up the Storage Smart Entry app with your phone number and PIN.
- Tap the LED on the door in the app to unlock.
- Issue and revoke digital keys for movers, relatives, or employees.
- Rely on motion sensing and access logging instead of wondering who last opened the unit.
Building entry and unit entry both run through this controlled system.
Who Is an 11×15 Climate-Controlled Unit Perfect For?
- People Moving Living-Room Furniture: Sofas, sectionals, and wide case pieces are why this size exists.
- Households That Want Access, Not Just Capacity: The extra foot of width is often the difference between a packed box and a unit you can actually walk into in January.
- Small Businesses Storing Display or Inventory Items: Wider floors help with shelving and picking.
- Homeowners Protecting Furniture During a Remodel: Wood tables, upholstered pieces, and appliances stay in a stable indoor climate.
- Quad Cities Renters Combining Apartments: Two smaller households often overflow a 10×15; 165 square feet is a realistic step up.
