Affordable Self Storage The Common, Queensland choice

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. Fortunately, Guardian Self Storage, the leading expert in all self storage in The Common, has multiple unit sizes on offer, and we can help you work out which unit is best for you. Get in touch with your nearest facility to find an answer for any storage question you might have.

Thanks to our broad variety of storage units, everyone can find the space they need. 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. 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. There are 3m x 6m units that can suit your needs in these situations, though. It is important to note, though, that each of our facilities have different units available at different times of the year, so you should contact your nearest facility to discuss how we can provide you with the space that you need.

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. Fortunately, the team here at Guardian Self Storage, the The Common self storage experts, can help you make sure your mattress has been stored properly. Our friendly team will be more than happy to answer any other self storage questions you might have, so feel free to contact your nearest facility.

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. 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. Leaving the mattress on the roof of your car will expose it to both the weather and the wind, which can cause damage to it; instead, move it in a sealed van. 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. 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.

It's usually cheaper to get a non-climate-controlled storage unit, especially since they're more common. Some items are suitable for storage in one of these units, and it can help keep costs down. Fortunately, if you need help working out what sort of items belong in a non-climate-controlled unit, Guardian Self Storage, the experts on The Common storage, can help. You can reach out to your nearest friendly facility to help find the answer to any storage questions you might have.

Climate-controlled units are designed to protect against small flucations in temperature or humidity, which means that a non-climate-controlled unit is suited for items resistant to those changes. 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. 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. These units are also suitable for the storage of metal or plastic furniture, while all other furniture should be stored in a unit that does feature climate-control. 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.

It's understandable that you'd like to keep the items that are valuable to you safe while they're in storage. Regardless of how fragile your items may be, though, you can rest easy knowing they're safe with Guardian Self Storage, the leading option for self storage in The Common. You can reach out to your nearest Guardian Self Storage facility for help answering any self storage question you might have.

When storing valuable memorabilia, the right preparation can help make sure your belongings stay safe. Any moisture that sets in at night can be kept away from your items by wrapping them with butchers paper before leaving them in storage. A tight layer of bubble-wrap can also help protect your items from any damage they would have otherwise sustained during transportation. 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. 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. 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.

Despite how expensive they can be, electronics are usually shockingly delicate pieces of equipment. 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.

To answer any self storage questions you have, you can reach out to your local storage facility and our friendly staff would be happy to help.

Storage is safe for electronics, so long as the correct preparations are made. Lithium and alkaline batteries will degrade as time goes on, making them the most delicate part of your electronics to store. 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. 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. 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.

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. 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. Any large items should be taken apart so they can be stored in a more compact manner and they will be less likely to damage the rest of your furniture during storage. 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. You can now leave your furniture in storage, confident that it will all be stored safely.

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. Fortunately, with Guardian Self Storage and our experts on storage in The Common, not only can you store your boat, you can do so knowing that you've done everything necessary to keep it safe. If you have any questions about storage, please don't hesitate to reach out to your local Guardian Self Storage facility.

Keeping your boat safe from damage in storage could be as simple as taking some precautionary steps. 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. 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. 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. 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.

It can be rather difficult at times to store trucks, due to their large size. For help storing your truck, you can rely on Guardian Self Storage, the premier choice for all storage in The Common. To answer any questions you might have about storage, feel free to reach out to your nearest Guardian Self Storage facility, and our friendly staff will be happy to help.

The best practices for storing a truck are similar to those for a car, with some minor differences. The tyres of a truck are at a higher risk of damage during storage due to the larger size of the vehicle, and both rust and leaks are more prominent as well. 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. Since the truck will be left untouched for quite some time, it's also imperative that you check the vehicle for any leaks, especially along the fuel lines and gaskets. Leave any truck that will be put into storage for more than a month suspended on jacks, and apply tyre protectant to all of the tyres. Lastly, fogging oil can help decrease the risk of corrosion from appearing during storage - simply apply some to your engine before leaving the truck. There are a few simple things you can do to keep a truck safe if you're looking to leave it in storage.
