Affordable Self Storage Petrie, Queensland choice

Despite the temptation to leave everything you own in a cheaper, non-climate-controlled storage unit, there are some items that need to be stored in an insulated unit that is protected from the weather. When you don't know how to distinguish between the two, though, it can be difficult to determine which items belong in insulated units. Luckily, the best choice for all storage Petrie, Guardian Self Storage, understands these differences well, and we can help you make the right choice. Finding an answer for your specific self storage concerns is as easy as getting in touch with our phenomenal team.

All items that could become damaged if left outside on your back patio should be stored in a unit with insulation. Insulation is able to protect your items from the natural minor variations in humidity and temperature that occur during the day, and these variances may prove dangerous for some incredibly fragile items. Antique wooden furniture and leather furniture would be damaged in these conditions, so an insulated storage unit is a suitable choice for them. Paperwork and clothing are similarly best suited for an insulated storage unit, as non-climate-controlled units can cause damage to these belongings. An insulated storage unit is also the right choice if you're trying to store any type of physical media. Day-to-day ambient conditions change, and if you're storing something that is sensitive to these fluctuations, then you need an insulated storage unit.

Everyone has different storage needs, and it's easy to see why. The items from your spare room are probably going to need less space than the old, vintage truck that someone else might be trying to store. Thankfully, the number one choice for all Petrie self storage, Guardian Self Storage, can help you pick which unit is best for you. You can find an answer for all of your self storage questions by reaching out to your nearest facility.

There is space for everyone in our wide range of storage units. Small units are excellent for anyone seeking out just a little extra space, and these units generally measure in at 1m x1. 5m or 1m x 3m. A 2m x 3m or 3m x 3m unit is excellent for anyone who needs to find a decent amount of space for storing a small selection of business archives, or needs to find somewhere to back away a 2 bedroom apartment. Units measuring in at 3m x 4m and 3m x 5m are best suited for storing the archives of a larger business, or a 2-3 bedroom home. You'll need drive-in access on a larger unit if you're trying to store a vehicle, such as trucks, boats, and cars. In these cases, we offer 3m x 6m units that can suit your needs. You'll need to contact your nearest facility and confirm what space they have available, though, as all of our facilities can only offer the space they have available at any given moment of time, which changes throughout the year.

Due to the large size of a mattress, storing it correctly can be difficult. For a mattress to be stored suitably, it must be covered, cleaned, and transported properly. Thankfully, Guardian Self Storage, the Petrie self storage experts, can make sure that your mattress has been stored properly in one of our units. Call our friendly team with any self storage questions you have to find the answers you need. Making sure your mattress is safe in storage requires some forthought. Begin with cleaning the mattress with a vacuum cleaner, and then allow it to air out correctly. Create an air-tight seal around the mattress using a breathable plastic wrap, as heavier plastics will trap the moisture in. Wind and weather can damage your mattress, so when it comes time to move it, do so in a van, not the roof of your car. To prevent the coils settling out of position once at the storage unit, leave the mattress flat against the floor. As a final measure, leave the mattress with nothing on top of it as the weight will, over time, cause damage to the mattress. By taking these measures, your mattress can be stored appropriately.

Keeping your memorabilia safe in storage is as simple as taking the right precautions. Wrapping your items with butchers paper before packing them into containers can help keep the moisture out at night. A tight layer of bubble-wrap can also help protect your items from any damage they would have otherwise sustained during transportation. Corrugated cardboard can similarly be used to reinforce any glass panes present in your items, such as those found in pieces of art and picture frames. There are expandable cardboard boxes available to apply the same protections to both large picture frames and TVs, where a sheet of corrugated cardboard alone may be insufficient. During transportation, wine bottles are particularly sensitive and can be easily shattered, but thankfully, you can use a wine-cartoon insert on a cardboard box to help provide extra stability and prevent damage. There are no threats of damage to your valuable items in storage, so long as you've taken the right precautions first.

Your electronics are safe in storage, provided they are stored properly. Lithium and alkaline batteries will degrade as time goes on, making them the most delicate part of your electronics to store. With that said, storing these batteries safely is as simple as removing them from your electronics and storing them separately. Storage drives are more likely to fail while in use as compared to in storage, which means storing your electronics might even be safer for them. Before storage, however, it is still best to make sure you create backups of all the important data stored on your laptop, computer, or mobile device, as these drives can still fail in rare cases. The right precautions makes storing electronics an incredibly simple affair.

It's easy to store furniture so long as you prepare it properly. Because of the large amount of space furniture occupies, you may first need to decide whether or not you'd actually prefer to sell some of your items instead of trying to store them all. You will then want to thoroughly clean any items that you have decided to store to remove anything that will cause damage or create stains over time, such as dust and dirt. Afterwards, you should disassemble all of the larger items to make the most out of your storage space and decrease the chance they will cause damage when they are being transported. Lastly, you should properly pack all of your items, covering everything with sheets and blankets for dust protection and with extra padding around the corners to prevent blunt force damage during movement. With these steps finished, you can now leave your furniture safely in storage.

From both a fiscal and practical sense, boats can not be considered to be small investments. The physical size of a boat can make it difficult to find a space large enough to store them properly in your home, but simply leaving them exposed to the elements is negligent of their value. Thankfully, Guardian Self Storage are the local experts on storage in Petrie, and we can help you safely store your boat. Your nearest Guardian Self Storage team will be more than happy to answer any storage questions you have.

There are a few easy things you can do before leaving your boat in storage to keep it safe from damage. Bait, moisture, and fishing buckets all need to be removed as the first step, as well as anything else that may create an odour over time. Boat protector on the hull can also be extremely beneficial, though you'll first need to clean the boat with fresh water to remove any salt or debris that has become attached to it. The engines in cars and boats are similar, so much like when you place a car into storage, make sure the boat's oil and coolant have both been replaced, the tank has been left full of petrol, and the batter has been disconnected and stored properly. Using a boat cover, you can protect the boat from the elements regardless of whether it is being left indoors or underneath a hardstand. Taking the right precautions makes storing your boat easy.
