Self-storage units are useful for meeting a diverse range of needs. Whether you need a large space to store your business stock or a small locker to hold sentimental items during a home renovation, self-storage offers a convenient and affordable solution.

A reliable and trustworthy storage facility, such as StorageWise, prioritises a safe and secure space to store your valuable belongings. That’s why each facility has specific rules and regulations on what can be stored in a unit, and which items are prohibited.

Let’s begin by exploring what you can store in your storage unit to make your life easier.

Business items

With the business landscape shifting, the value in business self storage solutions has increased. As offices downsize and the number of start-ups escalates, business storage units are being used to store excess filing, office equipment, furniture and even offer a productive workspace.

With a range of different unit sizes available, businesses can rent a large space as an affordable alternative to warehousing, or a smaller locker to use as a file storage  solution.

Household items

Self-storage is a fantastic solution for opening up space in the home and keeping household items safe, secure and accessible. Whether you’re renovating and need a space to temporarily hold furniture, in the process of moving or you’re downsizing and need a safe space to keep extra items, self-storage is an affordable solution.

Self-storage can also be used to store clutter from the home, garden furniture, sports equipment, seasonal clothing and collectables.

Electronics and appliances

Electronics and appliances can be safely stored at self-storage facilities. As long as the items are cleaned and dried properly beforehand, then you can keep them in your self storage unit for as little or as long as you need.

You can store large appliances such as refrigerators, stoves, microwaves, washers, dryers, and freezers, as well as smaller appliances such as toasters and coffee makers.

As these items can be fairly costly, it’s important to wrap them properly. Our box shop sells quality boxes and bubble wrap to secure your valued belongings.

Items that can’t go into storage

While our friendly team at StorageWise are always willing to go above and beyond for our valued customers, there are certain items that can’t be stored at our facility. The following items present a hazard to your other belongings as well as the facility as a whole.
