Storage Gold Coast

Our sign up process for Gold Coast storage sheds is quick and easy. Simply bring along:

We require a security deposit (refundable when you move out) and 4 weeks of storage unit rental in advance.

For payment, we accept cash, Visa, Mastercard, debit cards, EFTPOS transactions, and direct bank deposits.

We cannot store any of the following items in our Gold Coast storage facilities:

• Hazardous goods, such as poisons, petrol or chemicals
• Illegal or stolen goods
• Flammable or explosive goods, such as petrol tins, paint thinner, full gas bottles, chlorine or fireworks
• Environmentally harmful goods
• Perishable goods
• Goods that may cause harm, such as firearms

We have excellent self storage Gold Coast facilities at Molendinar.

Our Molendinar facility is a two-storey building with wide driveways. The second storey provides access to our smaller storage units.

Most of our Gold Coast storage units are insulated, dry and elevated off the ground. All storage units are kept immaculately clean with regular pest control and cleaning.

We provide secure storage on the Gold Coast with 24-hour camera surveillance and individualised keypad entry for each storage unit to protect your belongings. Our self storage facility at Molendinar is protected with secure gate access and security lighting and also has an office and residence on-site to ensure 24/7 security.

Insurance for your goods can be purchased after signup. Not all household contents insurance policies cover items stored away from home, so it’s best to check with your current insurer.

Pack and label boxes room by room to make unpacking easier. This will also make it much easier to find items once your goods are in storage or when unpacking. Label all four sides of each box to make the box contents easy to identify once the boxes are stacked.

Wherever possible, fill boxes to capacity, as partially full or bulging boxes may tip or collapse. Don’t be tempted to store heavy items, such as books or tools, all together in one large box. Spread them throughout several, small boxes to balance out the weight and make them easier to handle and carry. Much kinder to your back!

Always wash your clothing before storing. Maximise your efficiency with the use of porta robe boxes and vacuum sealers to save space. In the long term, make sure to pack moth balls or naphthalene flakes in with your clothing to protect them from damage and mould.

Fridges, freezers and other white goods should be thoroughly dry and clean before storing. While in storage, always leave the fridge door upright and slightly ajar. Don’t place any items inside your fridge or freezer, as the shelves and lining are easily marked. A roll of toilet paper left inside will keep moisture/mould at bay.

Protect fragile and breakable items by wrapping them individually in packing paper and placing them inside a box. Heavier items should be placed on the bottom, and the most delicate items on top. To prevent chipping and scratching, place a second layer of packing paper or bubble wrap in between fragile objects. Fill any gaps in the box with tissue paper, scrunched up paper or linen. Avoid using newspaper as the print can leave marks on items. To stop items from moving around, wrap items together using bundling film.

For extra protection, we recommend tucking a layer of bubble wrap inside the bottom and top of boxes to insulate them against any bumps or knocks. Label the cartons with fragile tape and do not stack heavy items on top of these boxes.

Always vacuum furniture upholstery before storing. We recommend using protective plastic covers to protect these items during transport. Once safely stored, it’s best to wrap your mattress or couch in old sheets rather than plastic to avoid condensation and mildew.

Stack chairs on top of each other and store the table on its end to save space. If your table and chairs are timber, we recommend applying wax to the surface.

Protect delicate items, such as mirrors or artwork, by insulating them with bubble wrap and placing them in an upright position in a flat pack box.

Ideally, store all electronic items in their original boxes. If this is not possible, use bubble wrap and individual, sturdy cardboard boxes. To avoid humidity damage, include silica packs or desiccant in the boxes.

Before storing a battery operated appliance or toy, remove all batteries to prevent possible leakage. Wrap small electrical items in bubble wrap and pack them into small boxes with labels. Seal the top of your boxes and fill any gaps with packing paper or linen.

We highly recommend storing your computer or TV in its original box. If this is not possible, use bubble wrap and individual boxes. To provide extra protection, pack the top and bottom of the box with packing paper or linen. Ensure your TV or computer is positioned upright so it is not damaged by heavy items stacked on top.

All combustibles such as fuel and oil must be drained from machinery before storage. Clean any grass clippings off to reduce odours and place an old piece of cardboard or carpet underneath.

Organise your camping gear into sturdy, see-through plastic containers for ease of finding. To avoid rust, clean your metal kitchen utensils gently, wipe them with a paper towel, and apply a fine layer of vegetable oil over the metal, before storing them in an air-tight container. Secure your tent and mattress in a bag.
