Just like Santa’s workshop humming with elves nimbly making toys, the holiday season is a busy time for people too. Houses filled with extra gifts, guests, trees and decorations–it can be a real struggle to stay organised. But Santa’s elves have a secret to share that helps them stay on top of it all–elf storage! They simply take everything to their (s)elf storage units whenever they’re running out of room to keep their space tidy and uncluttered. There’s no need to try to shove things in closets or under Santa’s bed. Nor do they have to spend precious time and energy figuring out where to put things. And neither do you! Storage locker holiday tips Store out-of-season items: clothing, toys, garden tools Store patio furniture, bbqs, bikes, sports equipment Store knick-knacks, every-day decorations Store bulky & extra furniture: chairs, ottomans, desks Store unused or occasionally used exercise equipment & appliances Store unused or extra vehicles to make room for out-of-town guests Clear closets & spare bedrooms of clutter and pre-stored items Take the stress out of holiday preparations by using storage units to their fullest. All the unused items around your kitchen, living room, guest rooms, bedrooms, closets and garages can go into storage. Think of all the extra space you can free up to host festive parties and stay-over guests (even if they bring their own sleighs or cars). Deck your home out in true holiday style with as large a tree as you’ve always wanted and lots of decorations. Make it feel spacious, warm and welcoming. Also, hide presents without worrying if they’ll be found! When the season is over, just make a swap–move holiday items into storage and take out what you need, like maybe the exercise equipment for those 2026 New Year’s resolutions we all make! Do like Santa’s elves and take advantage of (s)elf storage this holiday season. Put your mind at ease while you free up the space you and your family need to relax and enjoy the holidays in peace. Oh, one last thing. ...

Navigating Storage Unit Sizes: Find the Perfect Fit for Your Needs

Storage units are the perfect solution. Whether you’re moving house, packing away all your summer things for winter, or simply need more space for your family or business supplies, rent a storage locker for convenience and freedom from worry. The first thing to consider is what size unit you are going to need. Since the cost to rent goes up with the size, you’ll want the smallest unit that fits your needs. Storguard has the largest selection of locker sizes, ranging from compact 16-34 sq. ft units, all the way up to 300+ sq. ft. (see them in our Storage Size Guide). So we’re able to match your exact needs. Plus, take advantage of extra flexibility with the ability to upsize or downsize as needed. You’re never stuck if your circumstances change. If you only store a few things then a 5’x5’ works well–about the size of a walk-in closet. It’s the perfect size for students who need to store a few things for school breaks when they go back home or change residences; or for a small business to store extra stock. But it gets trickier to estimate the size you need, the more stuff you have. So we have a handy, easy-to-use Storage Calculator to help. It covers item categories for bedrooms, kitchens, living & dining rooms, offices and outdoor stuff. Simply add the number of items you have from each category to receive a suggested unit size to store it all. A couple of tips when it comes to storing your things: request humidity-controlled storage lockers when storing items that can be damaged by moisture caused by temperature fluctuations. For example, important papers, artworks, furniture, clothes, antiques, and sports equipment. Also, use racks or store long items vertically if possible, to maximise storage space. Storguard offers a huge range of unit sizes—the hugest, in fact! We can recommend a perfect-fit space that matches your stuff and your budget. Want to see it in person?
