When Personal Storage Space Makes Life Easier

Most people need personal storage during a change. These are the most common moments.

  • Moving house: Bridge the gap between settlement dates.
  • Selling your home: Declutter so buyers see the space.
  • Renovating: Keep furniture safe from dust and tradies.
  • Downsizing: Keep the keepsakes without the extra rooms.
  • Blending households: Hold the doubles until you decide.
  • Travelling: Store your home while you explore.

You can also use small personal storage for seasonal items, hobby gear and holiday decorations. That frees your garage and spare room.

What to look for

How to Choose the Best Storage for Personal Use

Not every personal storage facility works the same way. Check these four things before you sign.

Real Security

Look for monitoring, lighting and secure access. Our sites offer monitored premises, secure access and lighting.

Easy Loading

Heavy boxes and furniture need clear paths. Ask about access hours and loading areas.

A Clean, Dry Space

Damp ruins sofas and mattresses. Ask how the site protects your goods from moisture.

Flexible Terms

Store for weeks or years. Ask about notice periods and how easily you can change unit size.

Pick the right size

A Simple Size Guide for Personal Storage Solutions

This rough guide helps you start. Our team will confirm the best fit.

Small

Boxes, seasonal clothes, sports gear and a few small furniture pieces. Good for decluttering a spare room.

Medium

A bedroom or lounge room. Think a bed, a sofa, a TV unit and a stack of boxes.

Large

Most of a home. This fits whitegoods, dining tables, bedroom suites and many boxes.

Not Sure?

List your biggest items and count your boxes. Send us the list and we will suggest a size.

How to Pack Your Storage Unit and Protect Your Things

Smart packing saves space and prevents damage. Follow these eight steps.

  1. Start with big items. Place whitegoods, tables and bed frames at the back.
  2. Stack heavy boxes low. Put light boxes on top.
  3. Use sturdy boxes. Uniform sizes stack better and save space.
  4. Label every side. Write the room and the contents.
  5. Dry everything first. Air out appliances and leave their doors slightly open.
  6. Cover soft items. Use breathable mattress bags and sofa covers. Skip airtight plastic.
  7. Leave a walkway. You will thank yourself when you need a box from the back.
  8. Keep a list. Take photos and note high-value items.

Never store paint, petrol, gas bottles or aerosols. Skip food too. Ask us if you are unsure about an item.
