Compare 12-Foot, 16-Foot, & 20-Foot Containers for Your Project
We offer 12-foot, 16-foot, and 20-foot portable storage containers, each measuring 8 feet high. The right length depends on the number of rooms involved, the volume of your furniture, and whether you need space for a move, renovation, or temporary storage project.
Room-count capacity estimates are useful starting points, not exact limits. Bulky furniture, appliances, garage contents, packing efficiency, and access needs can all affect which size is the closest match.
Our three lengths accommodate projects ranging from focused storage needs to moves involving most of a larger home. Consider what each room contains rather than relying on room count alone.
12-Foot Container
Our 12-foot container is generally suitable for the contents of 2 to 3 rooms or small-purpose storage. It can work well for a smaller move, a limited renovation area, or a defined group of household items.
Large furniture, appliances, and irregularly shaped belongings take up space differently than boxes. If your project extends into additional rooms, compare this option with the 16-foot container before scheduling.
16-Foot Container
Our 16-foot container is generally suitable for homes with 3 to 4 rooms. It can also provide temporary storage during a home renovation or in preparation for a future move.
This middle size can accommodate several furnished rooms or a multi-room renovation. The amount of furniture in those rooms matters more than the room count alone.
20-Foot Container
Our 20-foot container is the largest option we offer and is generally suitable for homes with 5 to 7 rooms. Consider it for a larger household move, extensive renovation storage, or a project that includes furniture and garage contents.
The additional length provides room for a broader collection of belongings, but it doesn’t promise that every item from a particular home will fit. Capacity ultimately depends on item volume and arrangement.
What to Consider Before Choosing a Size
Start with your largest items, then account for smaller belongings and any open space you’ll need inside the container.
Consider these details before selecting a size:
Furniture Volume: Sofas, dining sets, bed frames, and other large pieces can influence capacity more than room count.
Appliances: Refrigerators, washers, dryers, and similar items require substantial floor space.
Item Shape: Mattresses and irregularly shaped belongings may limit how efficiently you can use the available space.
Access Needs: If you plan to retrieve items while the container remains on your property, leave room for an organized walkway.
Project Scope: A renovation involving several rooms may require more capacity than a focused kitchen, bathroom, or flooring project.
If you’re between sizes, weigh the unused space in a larger container against the risk that a smaller one won’t provide enough capacity. We can discuss your room count, largest items, and intended use before you choose.
Protection & Access Features Across Every Size
All three lengths share the same construction, access, property protection, and security features.
Container features include:
Sturdy Construction: Our powder-coated steel containers include pressure-treated flooring and ventilation.
Moisture-Free Environment: Elevated placement, ventilation, and pressure-treated flooring help reduce exposure to weather and ground moisture.
Easy Loading and Unloading: Containers sit 8 inches above the ground for a lower loading height.
Driveway Protection: We use padded wheels to help protect driveways and property during delivery and pickup.
Security in Your Hands: You control access to the container with your own padlock.
Secure Transport: Our tie-down rings provide stability during movement, and our containers have 25% more rings than the competition.
Plan for Placement & Access
The placement area needs enough room for the selected length, delivery access, and use of the doors. A 20-foot container requires more property space than a 12-foot option, so consider placement and capacity together.
Before delivery, check the available clearance and how you’ll approach the container while loading. If you expect to retrieve belongings while it remains on your property, allow for access both outside and inside.
What Happens After You Choose a Size
We deliver the container to your property, and you load your belongings at your own pace. Flexible rental periods can accommodate uncertain renovation schedules, delayed move-in dates, and other temporary storage needs.
Once you’re ready, you can keep the container on your property or arrange for us to pick it up and place it in secure off-site storage. We can arrange redelivery when you need it again.
Confirm Your Size & Request an Instant Quote
Once you’ve identified the closest size match, request an instant quote from Go Mini's of Columbus, OH. We’ll use the project details you provide to discuss the most suitable available option.
Flexible rental periods give you time for short-term projects, ongoing renovations, or storage needs without a fixed return schedule.

Highly recommended!
This is the 2nd time we've used Go Mini's Pods and both times have been great. Customer service is great, drop off and pickup are always in a timely manner and never had issues with anything. Highly recommended!

Easy to schedule, well maintained pod
Easy to schedule, kept me informed of the drop off and pick up progress. Well maintained pod that sat low to the surface, which made loading and unloading easy.
Jeffrey Williams
Prompt, clean, and very fair price!
Communication was prompt, our storage unit was clean and it was able to sit on our somewhat uneven driveway, and the price was very fair compared to other unnecessarily expensive options. I would recommend Go Mini's!
Brian Strozewski
Easy, convenient, and below PODS pricing!
Go Mini's was easy and convenient to work with. The drivers were awesome — friendly, patient, and helpful. Rates were below PODS and U-Haul container storage, and the fee structure was transparent. I had a container for a 4-month period and paid maybe $1,500 all in for delivery, monthly storage, and transportation to my new house.
John
Fast Service and Great Communication
Fast service and great communication at half the price of others. We packed up a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath home into their biggest unit, they stored it for a month and delivered it to our new house quickly and efficiently. If you are considering a move, check Go Mini's® out first! I would recommend their service to everyone!

Go Mini's Made Our Move Stress-Free
Moving is never easy, but Go Mini's made the storage part of our move completely stress-free. From delivering our container, storing it while we were between homes, bringing it back when we were ready, and picking it up after we emptied it, everything went smoothly.
What really stood out was how easy they were to work with. Every time I had a question, they responded quickly, and they were always friendly and helpful. They were also fast with deliveries and pickups, which made a huge difference during such a busy time.
One of the best parts was having the container right in our driveway. Not having to make repeated trips back and forth to a storage facility saved us so much time and made packing and unpacking much less stressful.
As a bonus, my son absolutely loved watching the container being loaded and unloaded. It was a fun little highlight for him during our move.
I can't say enough good things about our experience. If we ever need portable storage again, Go Mini's will be the first company we call. I highly recommend them!
Casey Arnett

Go Mini's Is AWESOME!!
Go Mini's is AWESOME!! The people I worked with were very good at communication. The person that dropped the unit off was GREAT! He took the time to make sure it was exactly where I wanted it. The unit itself was great. It kept everything safe and dry. If I ever need storage again, I won't look anywhere else! My family is very pleased with our entire experience with Go Mini's!!

I would use them again
The pod arrived on time and was placed exactly where we wanted it on our driveway. It was clean and large enough for our purpose. It didn’t get removed right away. We had to wait for 6 days from the time we called for removal until they could schedule the removal. But we weren’t charged for those 6 days. The rental stopped the day I called. I would use them again and recommend this company.
Dana Ippoliti
Go Mini's Was Very Responsive
The container was delivered on time and picked up very quickly. Go Mini's was very responsive to my needs. The only thing that I would have had done differently is for them to stress the direction the container is on the delivery truck. If the doors are facing the wrong way, it can't be manipulated to face the right direction.
Derick Logan
Whole Experience Was Great
Whole experience was great, unit used to store garage material while we updated the garage, took about two weeks. Drop-off and pick-up perfect... price very reasonable and cheaper than PODS.
Richard L Walters Jr
The entire experience was excellent
This was my first time using Go Mini’s service. The entire experience was excellent and easygoing. Josh was personable, accommodating, and customer friendly. The delivery as well as the pickup of the unit was uneventful. The prices are reasonable. I will recommend Go Mini’s to anyone needing their service. Thank you!
