As block sizes shrink and more Australians choose high-density apartment living, finding appropriate personal belongings, pallets, boats, or caravan storage is growing in popularity. But how do you choose the right self-storage business?
Read on to learn more about choosing the most suitable self-storage units for you.
Location, location, location
Need to access your belongings regularly? Will you be taking your boat or caravan in and out of storage? Choose a storage facility close to home. If you need long-term storage and are unlikely to require any of your belongings, look further afield. Our storage facility is conveniently located in Bibra Lake, close to Perth’s CBD.
Security features
Keeping your belongings safe is imperative, so don’t be afraid to ask about the security features of each Perth storage facility. A good facility should have:
- High quality 24hr CCTV
- PIN or key access to the facility
- Fire alarms connected to a centralised fire alarm control panel
- Alarms on individual units, where required
- Regular checks to ensure storage units are secure
Pick up and drop off
Easy access to the storage unit makes dropping off and picking up items a smooth process. Choose a self-storage facility that is designed to make this as easy as possible.
Storage unit size options
Each facility is likely to provide a range of options, from small storage units suitable for pallet stacking and personal belongings, up to extra-large storage units perfect for boats, caravans, trucks, or heavy commercial vehicles. Choose the storage unit most suitable for your needs.
Placing items in storage
Blankets, bubble wrap, and even newspapers are suitable for wrapping around your smaller precious items before placing them in storage. For heavy commercial vehicles, you can follow our winter boat storage tips and caravan storage guide.
Storage unit checklist
Once you have narrowed down your choices, follow this quick checklist to help make the process easier:
- Inspect the facility before signing a contract
- Ask to see a few different units
- Ensure whatever you are storing is insured with your home and contents policy or with an independent policy
- Purchase a solid padlock for the unit door.
