Anything that would get damaged if left on your back patio belongs in an insulated unit. 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. These background fluctuations are particularly damaging to leather furniture and antique wooden furniture, which means they should be placed into storage units with insulations. Similarly, clothing and paperwork can become damaged if stored incorrectly in a non-climate-controlled unit, so it is usually easier and safer to store them in an insulated unit instead. If you are a connoisseur of physical media, an insulated storage unit will also be the right choice for you. When the items you are storing may be vulnerable to fluctuations in ambient conditions, then the only safe choice is to store them in an insulated storage unit.

There's no myster as to why everyone has different storage needs.

You can find an answer for all of your self storage questions by reaching out to your nearest facility.

A healthy variety of storage units available is available at all of our facilities, which makes sure everyone can find the space they quired. We have some small and affordable units great for anyone who needs just a little extra space, typically measuring 1m x 1. 5m or 1m x 3m. There are also 2m x 3m and 3m x 3m units available for anyone who needs anything a little bigger, which are normally excellent for packing away 2 bedroom apartments or finding a permenant storage solutions for business archives. 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. You'll need drive-in access on a larger unit if you're trying to store a vehicle, such as trucks, boats, and cars. If you do have need of such a space, we can offer a 3m x 6m unit that will suit your requirements. Importantly, you should confirm what space is available at your nearest facility, as each facility can only offer storage units that aren't already occupied, and their occupancy levels change as time goes on.

As mattresses are quite large, storing one correctly is not always easy. For a mattress to be stored suitably, it must be covered, cleaned, and transported properly. Guardian Self Storage, the number one choice for all self storage in Alton Downs, can help you understand what you need to do to make sure your mattress has been properly stored. Call our friendly team with any self storage questions you have to find the answers you need. Getting the best results when leaving your mattress in storage requires some preparation. Begin with cleaning the mattress with a vacuum cleaner, and then allow it to air out correctly. Soft, breathable plastic wraps make for a suitable cover for the mattress, though moisture will be trapped in by heavier plastics. When you're ready to move the mattress between your home and the storage unit, you should consider moving it in a van and not on the roof of your car, as both the wind and weather can cause damage. Once at the storage unit, lay the mattress flat on the floor, as this will avoid the chance of the coils settling out of their designated positions. Lastly, there should be nothing left atop the mattress, particularly if you plan to leave it in storage long-term, as the pressure will damage 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.

Answering your self storage questions is as easy as reaching out to your nearest facility.

Storage in a non-climate-controlled unit is best suited for any item that can tolerate small changes in humidity or temperature. Vehicles of most varieties, including cars, boats, and trucks are typically quite well-suited for non-climate-controlled units, though antique vehicles can prove to be an exception. Likewise, tools and dishes are well-suited for these storage units, and can help save space in a more expensive unit best used for other items. Any plastic or metal furniture can also be stored in non-climate-controlled units, but it's best if you use a climate-controlled storage unit for any other furniture. 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.

Understandably, it can be a little emotionally difficult to leave items in storage that have sentimental value to you, and you'll want to do everything you can to make sure they're safe.

Keeping your memorabilia safe in storage is as simple as taking the right precautions. Nighttime moisture won't be able to damage your items if you wrap them in butchers paper before packing them into containers for storage. You can then further wrap your belongings with bubble-wrap, to help prevent damage during transit. If you're storing picture frames, pieces of art, or anything else with a glass insert, you may wish to use corrugated cardboard to help reinforce the glass pane. TVs and larger picture frames are treated similarly, though they are instead placed inside of expandable cardboard boxes due to their size. 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. There are no threats of damage to your valuable items in storage, so long as you've taken the right precautions first.

While they are normally quite expensive, electronics are also extremely delicate. When it comes time to leave your electronics in storage, then, it's easy to see why you might be a little concerned about how safe they might be. Guaridan Self Storage, the leading resource for all things related to self storage in Alton Downs, can help you learn the steps you need to take to make sure your electronics are safe in storage.

Provided you have taken the right precautions, your electronics will remain safe while they are in storage. Any batteries that your electronics rely on will be the most delicate item to store, as both alkaline and lithium batteries are known to degrade over time. Fortunately, keeping both types of battery safe is as simple as making sure you remove both from your electronics and storing them separately, so that even if they do fail during storage, your electronics will be safe. Both hard drives and solid-state storage drives are less likely to fail while not in use, which means storage may even be the safer option for them. 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. The right precautions makes storing electronics an incredibly simple affair.

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 should properly clean any item you would like to store to remove anything that can damage it, such as dirt or dust. Next, you'll need to disassemble the larger pieces; doing so both maximises the available space in the unit and minimizes the likelihood that the items will be damaged during transport. Finally, make sure every item is properly packed, with sheets and blankets covering everything to protect it from dust, and extra padding around corners and weak spots to prevent damage when the items are being moved. You can now leave your furniture in storage, confident that it will all be stored safely.

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. 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. All storage in Alton Downs is simple, though, with Guardian Self Storage and our expert team, even the storage of a boat. Your nearest Guardian Self Storage team will be more than happy to answer any storage questions you have.

A few precautionary steps might be all your boat needs to stay safe during storage. First, make sure to thoroughly clean the inside of the boat of anything that may create an odour over time, such as fishing buckets, baits, and moisture. You'll also want to clean the outside of the boat with fresh water to remove any salt or debris that has become attached to your hull, so that you may properly apply a coat of boat protector. Disconnecting the battery, leaving the tank full of petrol, and replacing all the oil and coolant can also be beneficial, much like with storing a car. 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. Taking the right precautions makes storing your boat easy.
