If you look at the attached picture you will see the dimensions listed. Exactly what you see is what both sizes look like. The main difference is that you either have a narrow and long unit or a shallow and wide. They both have pros and cons. Due to the 5x10 being narrow and long it makes it difficult to get to items that may not be at the front of the unit. However you technically get more vertical space. Meaning you can fit more items in your unit. The 10x5 has the benifit of being shallow and wide. Therefore everything is within arms reach. The downsize is that the rollup door to your unit blocks off half of your veritcal space. Now you may think that because they are the same dimension therefore the same size that they would be the same price. That is not necessarily true. Usually the 10x5 s are cheaper that the 5x10 s. This is due to the 5x10 being more popular due to it being more familiar. So when shopping give the 10x5 a chance and save yourself a bit of money.
