Elevate boxes off the floor
Wooden pallets or plastic sheeting under the first layer keeps items safe from occasional condensation.
Resource · Storage Tips
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.
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
