Small habits that save your things.

Nine practical tips from customers who've stored for years. They cost little and prevent the two biggest storage regrets: damp and disorganisation.

Elevate boxes off the floor

Wooden pallets or plastic sheeting under the first layer keeps items safe from occasional condensation.

Leave breathing room around walls

Air circulation prevents damp pockets — don't stack directly against container walls.

Use moisture absorbers

Refresh silica or calcium chloride absorbers every 6 months in humid seasons.

Photograph the layout

Snap a photo after loading so you know where things are before your next visit.

Group by room

Keep bedroom, kitchen and lounge items together — makes retrieval effortless.

Never store perishables

Food, plants and fuel are never allowed — they attract pests and create fire risk.

Remove batteries

Take batteries out of remotes, torches and toys before storing — they leak over time.

Protect electronics

Original packaging is best. Otherwise wrap in bubble wrap and keep cables coiled in labelled bags.

Visit occasionally

A quick check-in every few months lets you refresh absorbers and catch issues early.

Reserve your unit
