Take a quick inventory of what you’re storing and measure bulky items. You might need less space than you think — or realise a small upgrade will give you better organization and ease of access.

Place items you’ll need more frequently at the front of your unit. Use clear containers, label everything, and keep a narrow walkway if possible. You’ll thank yourself later.

Make the most of your unit by stacking boxes, using shelves or pallets to lift items off the floor. This helps with airflow, accessibility, and maximises your rental space.

Use airtight containers for sensitive items like electronics, clothes, and documents. Wrap furniture and mattresses in protective covers and always use a quality padlock — remember, you bring your own.

Access needs differ. If you’ll be in and out often, go for a unit near the front or one with easier parking. Long-term storage? You might get better value with units slightly further in.
