Self-storage is a convenient solution to a number of problems. If you are moving, going on extended travel, or simply want to organize your belongings, the option to store them yourself is a fantastic one.

We offer storage solutions for all types of items: from domestic furniture, appliances, and household goods, to recreational vehicles, boats, masts, and other hardware. We’ve stored it all, and we’ve seen it all when it comes to storage. Our total experience has taught us a thing or two about properly storing your stuff, so it will keep well for any period of time.

 

Find the Right Self Storage Facility and Space

Our secure storage facilities are located in convenient locations for you. You can choose from our storage in Manly, or self-storage in Wynnum. We have storage in Ascot, and self-storage in Hamilton, as well. You may also find our storage facilities in other greater eastern Brisbane areas.

After you select the right location, then you should assess how much space you’re going to need. We are happy to show you around and help you calculate the approximate size space your items will require. We can help with the hard storage items, like boats, masts, and other recreational vehicles.  Our storage facilities have indoor and outdoor storage space.

 

Best Methods of Packing for Self Storage

 

  • It’s important to pack your items in groups: i.e. keep the kitchen together, and pack glasses separate from pans. Don’t mix kitchen items, and don’t mix rooms in the same box. Keep the bathroom boxes in one group, and stack the kitchen boxes in another group.

 

  • Pack heavy items in smaller, easier to hold, boxes. This helps limit the weight so you don’t have large boxes carrying loads that will break through.  Pack the larger boxes with lighter things, like pillows, cushions, towels, or sheets. Store electronics in boxes or wrap them in plastic, protected from the open air and dust.

 

  • It’s better to wrap glass and ceramics with paper or bubble wrap. Although it may be a short period, the prudent way is the safest way with fragile things. To save on excess packaging materials, it’s a good idea to pack dishes with towels. You should pack soft things at the bottom and the top of boxes with fragile goods.

 

  • Labeling boxes goes a long way in helping you sort through mountains of them later. You’d be surprise how easy it is to forget where you may have packed that favorite coffee mug.

 

  • With mattresses, sofas, and upholstered chairs, it’s a good practice to wrap them in plastic. This prevents moisture from damaging anything. It’s also good to wrap mirrors and glass surfaces in bubble wrap.

 

  • Stage your storage so that the things you know you will need to get to on a frequent basis are up front. Similarly, place the items you know you haven’t or won’t use in the back of the storage space.

 

If you need assistance with heavier objects, we offer forklift services in many of our storage facilities. This is just one of the ways that we try to make your self storage experience as pain free as possible.
