What is the purpose of a storage unit?

A storage unit can have many different purposes, but the main one gives you additional space in your home or business. One of the current trends with homeowners is to clear their homes of any clutter. While this is great, it does leave you with a problem: what are you going to do with all the extra stuff? You may not wish to keep everything in your home, but you may not want to throw it away either. Generally, excess items in your home are things you'll still need, just not every day. With storage in East Perth, it gives you the option to keep all these items and have them available when you need them. For example, you may have a tea set that you never use, but it was a gift from your parents. Keeping these items in storage means it is out of your hair but ready to pull out whenever a visit is on the table!

Another use for a storage unit is to keep precious items safe. A storage unit can provide you with more security than your home. Residential homes are also more prone to fire than storage units. If you have any items that can be easily duplicated (e.g., photos, personal documents, etc.) that you'd like to keep safe from potential incidents, a small storage unit is perfect.

How to rent a storage unit in East Perth?

The best way to rent storage in East Perth is to start by finding one that ticks all the boxes for you. Firstly, a storage unit needs to be the right size for what you need. For example, if you're storing the entire contents of a three-bedroom home, you'll need a space about the size of a garage (3m x 5m x 3m). However, if you only need to store excess household clutter, you'll need a unit half that size. The next important factor in choosing a unit is security. If you have items of little value to thieves, a padlock will often suffice, especially when the unit is in purpose-built storage facilities. The final attribute you'll need to check off is when you can access the storage unit. Some storage units will offer 24/7 access, and others may only be available with notice.

After you've found the perfect storage in East Perth, then you can choose to reserve the space. On the next page, you'll be shown further details of the unit, including additional photos and what other features are on offer. If you're happy with everything about the unit, you can select ‘request space', and we'll get you in contact with the host. You won't need to worry about making payments as we can handle all of that for you.

After you've chosen the storage in East Perth that you want to rent. You can complete the booking, and the owner will meet you at the unit, take you through the unit, and show you how to access it when needed. At the most basic security level, you'll supply your own padlock. With any storage unit, it is ideal to familiarise yourself with the space and properly secure it. If you leave a bond for the unit, make sure you take photos of it when it is empty. This will mean you have a reference on the pre-existing condition of the storage space. Then after you load up all your items, take some more photos – ideally, you should have an inventory list of everything stored.
