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. 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. Our 3m x 4m and 3m x 5m units are better suited for storing the contents of a 2 or 3 bedroom home, or for a larger business that needs more archival space.

There are 3m x 6m units that can suit your needs in these situations, though. 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.

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. Create an air-tight seal around the mattress using a breathable plastic wrap, as heavier plastics will trap the moisture in. Move the mattress in a van instead of the roof of your car, as wind and weather can cause damage to it. 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. By taking these measures, your mattress can be stored appropriately.

Storing furniture is simple, with the right preparation. 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. Then, you can maximise the space available in your storage unit and decrease the likelihood that your items will be damaged during transport by disassembling the larger pieces. 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.

Boats are not small investments, in both a fiscal and practical 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. Luckily, safely storing your boat is easy with Guardian Self Storage, the resident experts on all matters related to storage in Stanwell. Your nearest Guardian Self Storage team will be more than happy to answer any storage questions you have.

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. 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. 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. Finally, it is critical that you use a boat cover regardless of whether your boat is being stored indoors or under a hardstand, as this can stop the damaging effects of various elements. Storing your boat is easy with the right preventative measures.

Trucks are large vehicles and, at times, can be rather difficult to store. You can turn to Guardian Self Storage, the number one experts in storage in Stanwell, for help storing your truck. Should you have any questions about storage, you can contact the nearest Guardian Self Storage facility, and they can put your mind at ease.

There are differences between storing trucks and cars, though most of the best practices can be quite similar. Due to the increased size of trucks, the fear of rust and leaks become more prominent, as does the risk of the tyres becoming damaged overtime. All of the fluids in the truck need to be replaced with fresh products to prevent moisture from accumulating, which will, in turn, prevent rusting. It's also critical that you check the truck for any leaks before you leave the truck in storage, particularly along both the gaskets and the fuel lines, as the truck won't be touched for quite a while. If the truck is going to be left in storage for more than a month, you should remove the tyres and suspend the truck on jacks, though tyre protectant should always be applied to your tyres no matter what. Finally, some fogging oil on the truck's engine can help prevent any corrosion from appearing during storage. There are a few simple things you can do to keep a truck safe if you're looking to leave it in storage.
