Lack of Space Driving You Crazy? 
Think Storage Rental

Ouch! You’ve just tripped over a pile of stuff sitting in your hallway. Again. Maybe you’ve forgotten the colour of your carpets or can’t remember when you last cleaned – because that would mean you have to move all of the stuff that’s cluttering up your house and your life. The situation is dire – let’s discuss some classic reasons why a storage container rental could be your saving grace! 

  • The Slippery Slope of Hoarding 
  • Emergency Storage – Have You Inherited a House Full of Stuff?
  • Home Renovation & Moving House Made Easy 

The Slippery Slope of Hoarding

It started with the stockpiling of “useful” plastic storage containers and steadily graduated to a newspaper and magazine hoarding obsession. Suddenly, friends and relatives are afraid to visit and you’ve become one of those people featured in TV show documentaries like “Hoarders: Buried Alive.” With no time to spare, a storage container rental is just what you need!

Extreme hoarders are the stuff of nightmares, and most of us don’t believe we could ever be led down that dark path of no return. Yet while you may watch these televised hoarding anomalies with horrified fascination and disbelief, hoarding can be a slippery slope.

Instead, you can jump on the feng shui, clutter clearing, and Marie Kondo organisational bandwagon to create a better life. A storage container rental is perfect for several aspects of a decluttering project, especially if you find yourself unsure of what to do with an excess of stuff.

First – clear it out of your house. This builds momentum. You can then take your time working out of the storage container to sort through everything – deciding what to sell, donate, or otherwise dispose of.

Emergency Storage Rental | Have You Inherited a House Full of Stuff?

While it may sound morbid, you could find yourself in the position of inheriting the entire contents of a household from a relative. They may have even been a hoarder themselves. Now, you might find yourself wondering what to do if you inherit a hoarder house. 

What to do with dear old granny’s beloved antique spoon collection or Royal Doulton fine china dinnerware set (actually quite the investment). Instead of cluttering up your own home with this excess furniture and who-knows-what, pop it into a storage container rental for as long as you need.

Clearing out the house and belongings of a loved-one who has passed aways is often an upsetting and highly emotional time. With everything packed away in a storage rental, you’ll have the space you need to sort through everything in your own time. The great thing about storage container rental is that it provides affordable storage solutions for both short-term and long-term durations – so no need to worry about sky-high rental costs.  

Home Renovation & Moving House Made Easy

Are you painting, renovating, or otherwise needing to shift furniture and belongings in and out of your house while work is being done? Renovations and moving house are usually a wonderful, positive step forward in life. Once you’ve overcome one key, much-dreaded hurdle. The Move. 

To achieve the task at hand, you’re going to have to do a lot of shifting around of furniture, appliances, and boxes filled to the brim with belongings. Why not make your life easier? Hire a storage container rental – basically an empty, available space that can be used to store anything that’s in the way.

If you’re renovating, don’t bother with the hassle of packing everything into other rooms and having to squeeze through cluttered hallways in your house – that just makes life awkward and annoying. Put it all in the storage container! 

The beauty of this solution is that you can have the container placed conveniently on site, or it can be kept at a secure off site storage facility and accessed when you need it. Your choice, your convenience.

On Site Container Hire
Why You’ll Never Look Back

Have you spent years just “making do” with a basic worksite setup that just doesn’t have what you need in office workspace or secure storage? It’s time for a change. This blog looks at several benefits of site container hire, and why you’ll never look back! 

  • Super Secure  
  • Easy To Relocate
  • Multiple Uses 
  • Cost-Effective

Super Secure

Shipping containers are made of some of the toughest stuff around – steel designed to withstand the elements and take a beating in transit by rail or sea. They can also be locked and secured with a variety of locking mechanisms and alarm systems.

Needless to say, when you hire a good quality on site container, you can feel confident that it has the capacity to protect its contents from wind, rain and pest damage. What makes a good quality container? Check out our blog on 4 Things You Should Know About Secure Self Storage for more information on this topic. 

Looking for Next Level Secure Storage?

Sometimes, a well-secured shipping container in and of itself is not enough. You might have various concerns about the security and on site location of your container, including:

  • Contents | that are sensitive or confidential
  • Overflow | of valuable equipment, tools and machinery
  • Unsuitable | location for an on site storage container
  • Planned closure | of the worksite for temporary period
  • Convenient | place to store containers in between worksites
  • High-Risk Area | Worksite located in high-risk area for vandalism and theft

When you want to guarantee the protection of your storage container and contents, off site storage at our highly secure storage facility in Narangba is a great solution for peace of mind. 

Easy To Relocate

Wondering about having to uproot everything in your container each time you move sites? No problem! It’s supremely easy to relocate your container hire from site to site. Depending on your industry, you may have the capabilities to take care of container transport yourself, otherwise we have a professional towing service available for your convenience.    

Multiple Uses

While basically an empty box full of potential, a storage container is no “one-trick pony” – it can be used in many different ways for many different functions. Industrial and construction worksites find containers particularly useful as: 

The potential to chop and change the application and use of your site container makes it a valuable and essential addition to the worksite. Not to mention – if you no longer need it or have long scheduled breaks between worksites, you can simply return the container hire at your convenience.

Go The Extra Mile With Your On Site Container Hire 

If you love your site container hire and decide that you’re ready to invest in a more permanent solution, it’s time to purchase your very own shipping container. While you’re at it, why not go the extra mile and refurbish it to be the perfect complement to your worksite whether it’s office space, storage, or a lunch room. Think air conditioning, refrigeration, built-in storage cabinets – everything you need to make your container an indispensable asset relocated and ready-to-go at the current worksite. 

Site Container Hire is Cost-Effective

Make your budget sit up and smile. Site container hire is an affordable solution to providing the extra office or storage space needed on a temporary worksite. From short-term to long-term duration, you have the benefit of affordability, flexibility and convenience at your fingertips. When it comes to bringing in your project on time and under budget – everything counts!

4 Things You Should Know About
Secure Self Storage

So you’ve finally realised you just don’t have enough space for all your stuff.

Whether it was the feeling of crowdedness at home, or the inability to access that important drawer at work because it was stuck behind another cabinet, you’re at your wits ends.

Well, you’ve made a great choice. Secure self storage is one of the most popular ways for Aussie business and homeowners to give themselves a little extra breathing space.

Now you’ve just got to decide which storage facility works for you! Aside from locality and convenience, there are a few things you should know about when choosing a secure self storage facility. Let’s take a look:

  • Container Grades: New, A, B, and C 
  • How Secure is Secure?
  • Container Ventilation
  • Water, Wind + Rodent Proof

Secure Self Storage Container Grades: A, B, and C

There are actually five grades of containers, but there aren’t many who use New grade units, and if you spot a self storage lot with D grade containers, keep on moving!

So, what’s the difference?

There are four main things that judge a container’s grade:

  • Internal condition
  • Floor stains & marks
  • External condition
  • Wind and water-tightness

Without going into extensive detail on each, you can expect that New containers will be better in each of these categories than A grade containers, A will be better than B, and so on…

When you’re choosing a secure self storage facility, wind and water-tightness should be your main concern. The rest is, to a degree, cosmetic, and shouldn’t make too much of a difference. For that reason, your best bet is going to find self storage that uses New and A grade containers as we do here at Caboolture Containers Hire & Sale.

How secure is secure?

Everyone has a different definition of security, so you’ll want to make sure that the self storage facility you choose matches up to your expectations.

Here are a few questions to answer for secure self storage:

  • Does the facility have adequate fencing?
  • Do they have security cameras?
  • What kind of locks are used on the containers? (usually BYO padlock)
  • Is the compound itself locked after hours

Container ventilation for your secure self storage

This is one factor of choosing a secure self storage lot that often gets overlooked: ventilation.

You see, you want to keep your stuff secure, which to most people means “not stolen”. But it should also mean safe from harm.

If your furniture and appliances are stored in a container without adequate ventilation, the container can often sweat, which causes moisture and condensation to occur and mould to grow. This can eventually destroy electrical equipment, degrade the quality of the boxes you have things stored in, and wreck wooden furniture.

That’s the last thing you want to discover after having all your beloved homeware in storage for 12 months.

Self storage facilities use containers of all different sizes, but 20ft containers tend to be the best choice as they have fantastic ventilation. 20ft containers have a total of 10 vents (5 on each side), which ensures the container can breathe and helps to prevent moisture and mould growth.

Secure Self Storage that is Water, Wind + Rodent Proof

Speaking of keeping your home and office equipment safe from destruction, make sure your secure self-storage lot uses containers that are water, wind, and rodent proof.

The container grade should help you determine this, as well as any other measures the facility has taken to ensure their containers are safe from the elements, and from pesky vermin. You sure as heck don’t want to open that container to discover a rat family living in your lounge suite!

Give Yourself A Bit Of Space This Summer
With A Self Storage Facility

It’s that season again, things are starting to heat up and the retail deals are on, inspiring many of us to buy that new lounge suite or fridge-freezer we just had to have.

If you’re like many North Brisbane homeowners, you’re probably starting to feel the clutter of everything you’ve accumulated over the last 12 months, and you’re thinking:

“Where are we going to put all this new stuff? We’ve barely got room for the Christmas tree!”

Well, a self-storage facility offers many benefits this time of year. Let’s take a look at three of them:

  • Storage for your old furniture
  • Space to host family events
  • New year new you cleanout

A Self Storage Facility For Your Old Furniture

When those Christmas and Boxing Day sales come calling, they can be pretty tough to ignore.

The deals are irresistible, and you’ve been wanting to upgrade the dining suite for a while now…

But that leaves a question: what to do with your old furniture?

Chances are you’re going to sell it on Facebook or Gumtree, but you’ll need somewhere for it to go in the meantime, and you sure as heck don’t want to hock it off on the cheap just to get it out of the house.

Or maybe you’re going to give it away as a Christmas gift, you thrifty little saver.

A self storage facility gives you the space you need to store your stuff while it sells, and you can access it whenever you need so you can show it to all those tyre-kickers!

Space To Host Family Events

The summer season is a popular time to reconnect with family and friends, and it’s easy to find yourself the host of a party or gathering that’s maybe a little larger than expected.

The last thing you want to do is call the whole thing off, but you can’t help but feel you just don’t have the space for all those people…

And what happens if it rains and that outdoor summer BBQ is no longer an option?

An affordable self storage facility in North Brisbane is the perfect place to keep that extra couch, china cabinet, or both giving you the space you need in your home to host a family event or two this summer.

New Year New You Cleanout

If you dropped the ball on the quintessential spring clean, then you might be finding the old home is getting a little crowded and cluttered.

The summer holidays are the perfect time to get stuck into decluttering your home, and give yourself a bit of space to breathe.

Plus, there’s probably a bunch of stuff you’ve just replaced thanks to all those epic Boxing Day deals.

You don’t want to go throwing everything out though, especially not that crochet cat your grandma gave you for your birthday…

Instead, consider a self storage facility to take care of it all. That way, it’s out of sight, out of mind, but never so far away that you can’t have it back when you need it!

Just make sure you grab it back out when grandma comes to visit!

1.  Store Your Extra Merchandise in a Quality Shipping Container

One of the keys to success in retail business is being able to take advantage of economies of scale.

For those of you who are unfamiliar, this is a simple rule that says the more you buy, the cheaper they get.

The problem is, when you decide to buy 1000 units this month instead of 500, you’ve got to have somewhere to keep them until they fly out the door.

Avoid cluttering your storefront and appearing as if you’ve over-ordered, and take advantage of the simplicity of shipping container hire to keep your extra merchandise safe, sound, and out of sight.

Speaking of decluttering…

2.  Declutter Your Office For a Minimalist Look

It’s been found that, for many of us, working in a cluttered and messy office environment. has a strong negative impact on performance, mood, and productivity at work.

As your business grows and you start to bring on new team members, you’ll eventually reach the point that many business owners do:

You’ve barely got room to move!

Quality shipping container hire is a brilliant way to store some of that extra office furniture and necessary business equipment that you just can’t get rid of – after all, you’ll need it soon, right?

3.  Shipping Container Hire Can Give You a Temporary Garage Workspace

When creativity sparks and you’re feeling motivated to take on a new project, there’s one question that immediately comes to mine:

Where am I going to do this?

Whether you’re building hand-crafted skateboards out of recycled wood, or reigniting your pottery flame, you’re going to want your own space to spread your wings and fuel your passion.

Don’t have a garage? Or, perhaps it’s already full with kid’s bikes and beach gear?

Quality shipping container hire is the perfect place to look for your next man-cave or she-shed.

4.  Home Renovations On The Cards? Shipping Container Hire Is Your Saviour

We all love a little home reno, don’t we?

Whether you’re building out an additional bedroom for that surprise baby on the way, installing a new kitchen, or recarpeting the entire house, you’re going to need somewhere to put all your stuff while you do it!

Chances are, there’s nowhere else in your home for it to go! I mean, that’s probably why you’re doing a reno – you need the space…

So, unless you’re keen on a dining suite in your master bedroom for three months while you finish up that “quick, one-weekend job”, you should consider storing your furniture and appliances in a quality storage container.

Having a shipping container on-site makes things easy, you can access it whenever you like, and you give yourself the space you need to fit out your home in style.
