Why Store Furniture in a Container?

How to Prepare Your Furniture for Storage

Proper preparation ensures your furniture stays protected and in perfect condition while in storage.

Cleaning Your Furniture

Before storing, clean all furniture thoroughly to prevent dust and dirt accumulation. Remove any crumbs or debris that might attract pests. For wooden pieces, a light dusting is sufficient - avoid harsh cleaners that might damage finishes.

Disassembly Tips

Disassembling larger pieces saves space and reduces damage risk during transport:

  • Remove legs from tables, couches and beds
  • Take drawers out of dressers and cabinets
  • Disassemble bookshelves and entertainment units
  • Keep all hardware in clearly labeled bags
  • Photograph assembly for easy reassembly later
  • Keep instruction manuals with stored items

Wrapping and Protection

Use appropriate materials to protect your furniture:

  • Bubble wrap for delicate surfaces and corners
  • Furniture pads to prevent scratching and protect floors
  • Blankets and moving quilts for large pieces
  • Plastic sheeting for wood furniture (breathable options prevent moisture)
  • Mattress bags for mattresses and box springs
  • Cardboard boxes for smaller items and hardware

Packing Your Container

Smart packing maximizes space and minimizes damage:

  • Place heaviest pieces (sofas, beds, dressers) against the back wall
  • Stack boxes and lighter items on top of larger furniture
  • Leave a walkway for access to all items
  • Store items you might need first toward the front
  • Use vertical space - stack tables, lean mirrors against walls
  • Fill gaps with blankets and pillows to prevent shifting

Common Furniture Storage Situations

Storing Furniture During a House Move

Moving house furniture storage is one of our most common uses. When your new home isn't ready or you need temporary storage between homes, a 20ft container holds the furniture from a typical 2-3 bedroom house. Easy access means you can retrieve items as needed during your move.

Renovation Storage

Storing furniture during home renovations keeps your pieces safe from dust, damage and construction debris. Keep your furniture accessible - you might want to retrieve pieces as different rooms are completed.

Downsizing Storage

When downsizing to a smaller home, store furniture you're not sure about yet. Take your time deciding what to keep, sell or donate without rush. Month-to-month terms mean you pay only for what you need.

Estate Storage

Storing family furniture while sorting through an estate allows time for proper decisions about what to keep and what to sell or donate.

Furniture Storage FAQs

How do I protect my furniture from moisture?

Our sealed containers provide excellent protection against moisture. Ensure furniture is completely dry before storing, wrap wooden pieces with breathable plastic (not plastic wrap which traps moisture), and consider including moisture-absorbing silica packets in the container.

Will my furniture get mouldy in the container?

Not in our properly maintained containers. Sealed containers prevent external moisture while allowing proper air circulation. Avoid airtight wrapping that traps moisture inside. See our mould prevention guide.

Can I store my furniture long-term?

Absolutely. Our month-to-month terms mean you can store for as long as needed - 3 months, 12 months, or longer. No minimum term, no penalties for extended storage.

How much furniture fits in a 20ft container?

A typical 20ft container holds the furniture from a 2-3 bedroom house - roughly: 1 lounge, dining table with chairs, bed frame, mattress, 2-3 dressers, and various smaller pieces plus boxes of items.

Can I access my furniture before the rental ends?

Yes. You have 24/7 access to your storage. Visit anytime to retrieve items, inspect your furniture, or add more pieces. This flexibility is one of the benefits of container storage.

Do I need to do anything while my furniture is in storage?

Not really. Your sealed container protects everything. An occasional visit to check on items is recommended, but not required. CCTV monitoring and a secure facility mean your furniture is protected 24/7.

What's the difference between 20ft and 40ft for furniture?

A 20ft container suits a typical 2-3 bedroom home. A 40ft container (double the length) is better for 4+ bedroom homes, or if you want extra space to arrange items comfortably. Check pricing for both sizes.
