Moving Home Stress Free With Big Padlock Self Storage

Moving homes can be a hectic process, and sometimes, you might need temporary storage solutions. Whether you’re renovating, downsizing, or relocating abroad, storing your furniture can offer convenience and flexibility during the transition. At Big Padlock Self Storage, we understand the importance of secure and accessible storage options. Here are some updated tips to streamline your furniture storage experience:

What Not to Store

While our storage facilities offer a safe environment for your belongings, there are certain items that cannot be stored for safety and legal reasons. At Big Padlock Self Storage, we prohibit the storage of perishable items, live animals, hazardous materials, and untaxed or uninsured vehicles. These items pose risks to both your belongings and our facility’s integrity.

What You Can Store

On the flip side, there are plenty of items you can safely store with us. Registered vehicles, electronics, furniture, clothes, and household appliances are among the commonly stored items at Big Padlock Self Storage. Just ensure that your items are properly prepared for storage to prevent damage and maximize space efficiency.

Packaging Your Items

Proper packaging is key to keeping your items safe during storage. When packing, use sturdy boxes appropriate for the weight and size of your items. Labeling boxes and using quality tape can help you stay organized and prevent loss or damage. Additionally, consider using hanging wardrobe boxes for clothes to maintain their condition.

Top Tips

To make the most of your storage space, keep soft furnishings off the floor and plan for seasonal weather changes. If you anticipate needing access to your stored items, create accessible corridors within your unit for easy retrieval. Don’t forget to label your belongings clearly to save time when you need to locate specific items.

Choosing the Right Unit Size

At Big Padlock Self Storage, we offer storage units ranging from 25 sqft to 800 sqft to accommodate varying storage needs. Our online space estimator can help you determine the right unit size for your furniture and belongings.
