How to get a storage unit in Chatswood?

At Spacer, you can look for storage in Chatswood without being a member. You can search for any suburb or region and look through the details of the storage units on offer. If you find one that you like and want to rent it, you'll need to become a member of Spacer. Signing up will only take a few minutes, and we'll take your preferred payment option as a part of your account. From then, you can choose to book the unit you like. After your booking is confirmed, you can contact the storage unit host and arrange to meet. Depending on which unit you choose, you may need to supply your own padlock. It is best to go and visit the unit before buying a padlock, as that helps you get one that will be suitable.

After you have a meeting with your host and have all the items you need to secure the locker and provide you access, you can start moving in. We'll take care of all the regular payments, so you don't need to worry about remembering to pay. If you want to end the arrangement and cease renting the unit, you'll need to provide a month's notice.

Are storage units really worth it?

The worth of any storage in Chatswood mostly depends on what you plan on doing with it. A storage unit is a clean and safe place to store all the items they are not actively using. People are natural collectors of objects, but occasionally these items can become a burden. However, if you have a sentimental attachment to these, you may prefer to keep them on hand. One of the largest trends in homeownership is living a clean lifestyle, which means removing many of these items from your living space. With a storage unit, you'll have the extra space required to place all the extra stuff that you simply do not need on a daily occurrence.

Having storage in Chatswood will also give you a place to store any copies of items that you'd hate to lose in case of a fire or other disaster in your home. For example, some documents and items are easily replicated but can be tragic if destroyed. By making a copy of these items (photos albums, data backup drives, personal documents, etc.), you can place them in the storage unit and have them on hand if something happens to your home.

If you are running a business, a storage unit can be a place to store any excess items, or it can be a convenient place to house any equipment that you need to keep safe. For example, if you work in Chatswood but live further out west (e.g., Glendenning), you can keep your gear in the storage unit and have access to it whenever you need them. Storage units can also be ideal for keeping work documents that need to be retained for several years, such as taxation records. Paperwork can quickly become excessive, and by having a secure location, these can all be maintained efficiently.

To keep your storage in Chatswood working for you, it is ideal that you keep an inventory list of what is stored in each box and where it is located. A list like this will keep the unit organised, and it means you can find everything quickly. If you have additional people accessing the unit, it'll help them to locate items fast and replace them properly. As all our storage units are leased every month, you can change units easily. If you find you're not making full use of your current storage, reducing it down to a smaller one will lower your monthly storage costs.

What do I do if I can't get a storage unit?

If you cannot find available storage in Chatswood that suits your needs, you can try a few different things. When you search a suburb through Spacer, we'll only show you the available options within a 10km radius. This usually gives you a good idea of what is currently available, and it limits you to seeing only those units in the area. If there are none available, then it is best to search other nearby suburbs in Sydney. For example, you can try these suburbs, Marrickville, Canterbury, and Camperdown, Dee Why, and Artarmon. In addition to storage in the city, we also have units in regional NSW, and if you don't need regular access, these can be ideal. For regional storage, you can look through Wollongong or Gosford.

In our search results, you'll only be shown the storage units currently available for rent. If you prefer, you can see all the units offered by selecting this in the search filter (under availability). If you like any unit currently taken, you can request to be added to the waiting list, and we'll notify you when it is next available. This is ideal if you rent a storage unit in another suburb but really need one in Chatswood for convenience.
