Anything that would get damaged if left on your back patio belongs in an insulated unit. The minor variations in temperature and humidity that are present in non-climate-controlled units can be harmful to some extremely delicate items, but thankfully, these dangers can be mitigated by the presence of insulation, particularly if the unit is protected from the elements. An insulated unit is a safe storage space for items such as antique wooden furniture or leather furniture, as these items are particularly vulnerable to changes in ambient conditions. Paperwork and clothing are similarly best suited for an insulated storage unit, as non-climate-controlled units can cause damage to these belongings. You will also need an insulated storage unit for all types of physical media that you may be collecting. Insulated storage units are the only safe choice when you are trying to store items that are sensitive to changes in the ambient conditions.

Our fantastic range of units will make sure there is space for everyone. 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. Storing a small amount of business archives safely or packing away a 2 bedroom apartment typically requires a little extra space, which may necessitate our 2m x 3m and 3m x 3m units. 2 or 3 bedroom homes require more space, as do the archives of a large business, and in these cases, we can recommend a 3m x 4m or 3m x 5m unit that suits these needs well. When it comes to storing a vehicle, though, including cars, boats, and trucks, you'll need a larger unit that offers drive-in access. If you do have need of such a space, we can offer a 3m x 6m unit that will suit your requirements. Critically, all of your facilities offer different units at different times of year, so if you have need for some storage space, the best thing you can do is reach out to your nearest facility.

As mattresses are quite large, storing one correctly is not always easy. Each mattress needs to be cleaned, covered, and transported correctly to make sure it is properly stored. Guardian Self Storage, the number one choice for all self storage in North Lakes, can help you understand what you need to do to make sure your mattress has been properly stored. If you have any self storage questions, you can reach out to your nearest facility to have our friendly staff give you the answer you need. Getting the best results when leaving your mattress in storage requires some preparation. First, make sure that your mattress has been cleaned and aired out correctly, typically accomplished with a vacuum cleaner. Using a breathable plastic wrap, create an air-tight seal around the mattress, though you should avoid using any heavier plastics that will trap in moisture. 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. The internal coils may settle out of place if the mattress is left standing, so make sure you leave it flat against the floor instead. Weight on top of the mattress can damage it over time, especially in long-term storage, so make sure there is nothing atop of it. Suitably storing your mattress in a manner that prevents damage is as simple as taking these steps.

Storage units that aren't climate-controlled are typically cheaper than those that are, since they're common to find and easier to operate.

Working out what type of items belong in a non-climate-controlled unit is easy with Guardian Self Storage, the local choice for all self storage in North Lakes. If you've got any storage questions, you can reach out to our friendly team for help.

A storage unit that isn't climate-controlled is typically best used for items that will be resistant to small changes in either temperature or humidity. Trucks, boats, and cars are all suited for storage in one of these units, though antique vehicles may be better off placed in a climate-controlled unit instead. A non-climate-controlled unit is suitable for dishes and tools as well, allowing you to save space in a climate-controlled unit. While most furniture needs to be stored in a climate-controlled storage unit, you can store any furniture made of plastic or metal in a non-climate-controlled space. It's entirely safe and very easy to also use a non-climate-controlled storage unit to store any items that would normally be left either outside of your home or in a shed, like equipment for your yard.

When storing valuable memorabilia, the right preparation can help make sure your belongings stay safe. Before you start packing your items into containers, wrap them with butchers paper to help keep out any moisture during the night. A tight layer of bubble-wrap can also help protect your items from any damage they would have otherwise sustained during transportation. Picture frames, pieces of art, and any other items with glass inserts should be protected using corrugated cardboard, to make sure the glass pane is safe while it is in motion. To accommodate the larger size of TVs and some extreme picture frames, expandable cardboard boxes are used. While wine bottles may be extremely prone to damage during transportation when stored incorrectly, you can use wine-cartoon inserts to properly pack these bottles into cardboard boxes, preventing damaging when they are being moved. So long as you take the right preparatory steps, you can leave your valuable belongings in storage without needing to worry about any threats of damage.

So long as your electronics are stored properly, they should remain perfectly safe. Lithium and alkaline batteries will degrade as time goes on, making them the most delicate part of your electronics to store. Safely storing batteries is still quite simple, though, as all you need to do is remove them from your electronics and store them separately. Sometimes, storage may even be safer for your items, especially when they are equipped with storage drives - both hard-disk drives and solid-state drives are more likely to fail while in use compared to when in storage. In rare cases, though, these drives do still fail, so make sure you create backups for all of the data on your mobile device, laptop, or desktop computer. Storing electronics is both safe and easy with the right preparation.

With the average cost of furniture being so high, it's easy to understand how it might be the most expensive asset you own in your house. Consequently, it makes sense that you would want to do what you can to keep your furniture safe during storage. Luckily, finding out what you need to do to protect your belongings is easy with the number one local choice for storage in North Lakes, Guardian Self Storage. Our team can make it easy to answer any of your storage questions; just get in touch with your nearest facility. Storing furniture is simple, with the right preparation. Before you start moving your items into storage, you will need to remember that furniture takes up quite a bit of space, so you will need to carefully consider which pieces to store and which to sell. Once you know which items you'll be storing, you'll want to give them a thorough clean to remove dust, dirt, or anything else that could cause damage or stain over time. 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. Cover every item with a sheet or blanket to provide protection from dust, and add extra padding around the corners and any weak spots to make sure the items will be safe during transportation. Your furniture is now ready to be safely left in storage while you are away.

It's hard to claim that a boat is a minor investment, regardless of if you think of it from a practical sense or a fiscal sense. It can feel unwise to leave them exposed to the elements due to their value, but due to their size, finding a suitable storage space is also difficult. All storage in North Lakes is simple, though, with Guardian Self Storage and our expert team, even the storage of a boat. Should you have any questions about storage, your local Guardian Self Storage facility would be more than happy to help.

Before you leave your boat in storage, there are a few things you'll want to do to save it from running afoul of 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. The exterior of the boat needs to be properly cleaned with fresh water so that all of the salt and debris is removed from the hull to make way for a layer of boat protector. Leaving the tank full of petrol, disconnecting the batter, and replacing all the oil and collant in the engine are all good ideas, just as they are when leaving a car in storage. Lastly, the elements themselves can still prove damaging, so regardless of where you're leaving the boat, make sure it's always underneath a boat cover. Storing your boat is easy with the right preventative measures.
