Self-storage Liverpool

To ensure you choose a suitable unit for your requirements – and make the most of your shipping container storage – there are a few steps that we typically recommend.

Investing a little time and effort to assess your options and pack the unit properly can often make a huge difference, optimising the storage capacity of the unit itself, and potentially even saving you money.

1. Create an inventory

Before getting in touch, make a list of everything you wish to keep in the unit. This can be useful for several reasons:

1. It can make it much easier for you to select the right size for your needs.
2. It’ll also help you to organise the unit when loading it up.
3. It can help you find things in future – even if your storage solutions are packed up tightly.

The list doesn’t need to be super detailed, a general overview will do the job. And it’s often worth drawing a basic map to demonstrate where certain things will be kept.

Then, simply print out a copy of the inventory, pop it inside the unit in a waterproof folder, and you’ll know exactly what you have and where it is.

2. Consider sizing up

Nobody wants to pay for more space than they actually need. But when it comes to selecting a self-storage container in Liverpool, we always recommend going a size up.

Ideally, you should have enough space to store your goods and possessions comfortably, whilst still having room to manoeuvre and move around the unit. If possible, try to leave a clear path from the front to the back. This will ensure no items are completely out of reach and goes a long way towards minimising damage – and making your life a little bit easier!

Here at Gap, all of our storage units are hired on a month-by-month basis. You’re not tied into a long-term deal with a particular size. So, if you think you could benefit from a little extra space or your needs change, it’s easy to increase or decrease the size accordingly.

3. Organise your items

Taking the time to organise your goods – separating them into categories and boxing them up in a way that makes sense to you – can be hugely beneficial. Not only will it help to keep items safe and secure, but they’ll also be much easier to find when you return to the unit in a month or two.

Start by grouping similar items together. Try to use uniform cardboard boxes wherever possible and, for stability, always put heavier items at the bottom and lighter things on top.

It’s also a good idea to label boxes as you pack, perhaps in terms of their contents or the room in which they belong.

4. Be strategic

When it comes to loading your storage unit, a little forethought can save a lot of future headaches. For example, keep your frequently used items close to the door – allowing quick and easy access – and put those you can live without towards the back.

It also helps to think vertically. Take full advantage of the unit’s height – storing large items on their side wherever possible – and stack heavy boxes close to the ground and against the walls using racks and shelves for awkward items.

Just about anything you want.

Perhaps you’re moving home and need somewhere to store possessions temporarily? Maybe you’re a student looking for cheap holiday storage? Or a business wishing to file documents securely?

Of course, firearms, weapons, illicit substances (e.g. drugs and explosives), and anything else that is illegal or harmful to public health is prohibited.

But, otherwise, you’re free to use the space as you wish and can store anything from commercial goods and business supplies to domestic and household items – such as furniture, appliances and personal possessions.

You’re the only person who will have access to the storage container and the contents will be safe and secure at all times.

Call 0870 240 9405 to find out more – our team are always on hand to help.

We currently offer three standard sizes: 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft.

These provide approximately 560 cu. ft., 1200 cu. ft., and 2400 cu. ft. of self-storage space, respectively. So, whatever the dimensions or quantity of your items – whether you wish to store thousands of business documents or one or two pieces of bulky furniture – we’re bound to have a self-storage container in Liverpool that meets your needs.

If you’re unsure which size is best for your requirements, you’re welcome to visit our site and view our storage units in person. This will give you a better idea of their capacity and should (hopefully!) make your decision a little easier. Alternatively, you can get in touch with our team.

Ultimately, our goal is to meet your unique storage requirements, for an affordable monthly price. And we’re always on hand and happy to offer our expertise. Just give us a call on 0870 240 9405 and, once we know a bit more about the goods you wish to store, we can advise on the best container for you.

It’s also important to keep in mind, that our container storage in Liverpool is very flexible. Payments are made on a month-by-month basis. This means, if you reserve the wrong size or your needs change, it’s very easy to increase or decrease the size of your storage unit. You won’t be charged for switching containers and you’ll never have to pay for space you no longer require.

Shipping containers are inherently one of the most secure forms of storage on the market. Made from Corten steel, they’re incredibly strong, durable and resistant to extreme weather conditions.

However, to give you peace of mind – and ensure you and your belongings are safe at all times – we like to go the extra mile. Reliable CCTV surveillance cameras are trained on our self-storage units 24/7 and we have an extensive intruder alarm system operating 24 hours a day.

When you first sign up for self-storage in Liverpool, we also provide a heavy-duty padlock free of charge. And if you’d like to enhance this padlock, we can also supply a high-security lockbox.
