Self-storage is a wonderful invention that has provided many around the world with extra space in their living area and working environments.

As useful as self-storage can be, it is natural to have second thoughts about using it, especially if the concept is new to you.

At Extra Space Asia, we are prepared to answer all your questions to give you peace of mind early in your storage journey. Here are some of the answers to the most commonly asked questions by our customers.

What are self-storage units, and what is the average size?

A self-storage unit is a space you rent to store your belongings. You can use your rented space to store almost anything you want, with the exception of a few items—contrabands, perishables, food, flammable materials and prohibited objects.

In general, storage size ranges from as small as 10 square feet to as large as you require. This range serves to accommodate the different requirements that you might face at different stages of your life.

What is the cost of renting a self-storage unit?

The answer to this question will vary based on your storage size, storage duration, storage location, and ongoing promotions. However, prices will generally range from $50 per month (subject to ongoing promotions) for the smallest unit.

To get an accurate quote, simply contact us at 6771 3100 with your requirements so we can help you select the best storage size suited for you at the most affordable price.

Is it possible to tour the storage unit before renting it?

It is absolutely possible to tour your storage unit before renting. In fact, we will highly recommend that you do so!

Just like you will not be likely to purchase a house before visiting, you are not expected to rent a storage unit without first seeing it for yourself. This ensures that the recommended storage space will fit your requirements and hold all your belongings.

Can I access my storage unit anytime I want to? 

Feel free to retrieve, access, or simply take a look at your items any time of the day, any day of the week.

If you have any other questions we did not answer in this article, please feel free to drop us a call at 6771 3100, and we’ll be more than glad to answer them!

Renting a self-storage unit can be a great storage solution if you are planning to relocate, renovate, or even downsize your home. One common item that most people store in their storage unit is furniture pieces. As we all know, our storage rental is calculated based on the storage square feet that we rent. Thus, to maximise your storage unit space efficiently, you should also consider how to better store your furniture in your storage unit to save some rental costs too. Here are three tips on how to store furniture in your storage unit.

  1. Disassemble your furniture as much as you can

Whether you plan to store your furniture items temporarily or long-term, it is good to disassemble them as much as possible. By segmenting each piece into its parts, you will maximise storage space while making transportation easier when moving from one location to another.

In terms of storage, you should try to store them flat to free up storage space. For items such as your bed frame and shelving, you should have them nearer to your storage unit’s walls. Like Tetris, it is not about stuffing your storage unit but how you arrange your items in an optimal manner. For items that you plan to retrieve a particular item after a short period of time, you should also try to arrange them near your storage door so that you can retrieve them easily.

  1. Utilise your storage unit’s vertical space

To save costs, you should try to find ways to utilise your storage unit’s vertical space as much as you can. For storage rental, prices are usually determined based on the length and width of your storage unit. Thus, you should try to maximise your vertical space before renting another bigger storage unit, as that will incur more storage rental too.

Adding a shelf to your storage unit is a good tool to effectively make your storage look more organised and space efficient. You can just set up some shelving in one part of your storage unit so that you can place those smaller items and any odd shape furniture pieces on the shelving so that it is easier to store and retrieve them. On the other side of your storage unit, you can stack similar-sized boxes upwards.

  1. Properly wrap your furniture items

Keeping any items or furniture pieces for a long period of time will definitely lead to dust accumulation. Thus, it is always important to wrap your furniture items, such as your bed and sofa set with stretch film. Stretch films are a good packing material that helps to keep your furniture intact and also makes transportation and storage much easier. If you are planning to store fragile items like your television set, mirror, glass table top or any glass items, it is also good to layer your items with bubble wrap as it will serve as a cushion during your storage process and if you accidentally drop them. These packing materials will also protect your furniture from any scratches and dents during the moving and storing process.

If you are in need of any packing materials like boxes, and even bubble wraps, you can always purchase them from Extra Space Asia Self Storage’s box shop at the storage facility.

By storing at Extra Space Asia, you can also enjoy the flexibility of upsizing or downsizing your storage unit at any time to fit your storage unit. This will help to save money over time as you will not be paying for the storage space that you do not need.

Packing your Christmas decorations and trees away? We can always store these festive decorations in boxes and unbox them again next year. However, it can always be more organised when it comes to your storage process so that you will know where everything is stored. Here are five storage ideas for storing your Christmas items.

  1. Store Christmas ornaments by colour themes

Love buying new baubles and ornaments every year? Over the years, you may find yourself with many different colour themes. As such, why not try storing these festive items by colour? You can use the same size boxes or transparent bins to see what is stored in the containers easily at one glance. Storing them in the same size boxes will also allow for a smoother stacking process.

  1. Label your Christmas bins and boxes

Moving boxes from one location to another can be tricky if we do not know what is in each box. If your box includes fragile items such as glass or ceramic items, it will be good to indicate labels such as “fragile” or “this side up”, which will be helpful when you are going through your boxes. You should also include details such as what is in the boxes (e.g. Christmas lights, Christmas baubles, bells and so on) so that you do not need to open up all the boxes to find one item.

In terms of storage, you should always face the label side of the box outwards so that you can see them easily.

  1. Protect those fragile glass ornaments

It can be tricky to store all of the ornaments neatly. When storing those fragile ornaments, it is good to first organise them based on the pattern type or the colours. Once that is done, you can use bubble wrap to wrap those fragile ornaments. This sequence will act as a layer of protection in case you drop them or decide to keep them for a long time.

You can use egg trays to store them away for those baubles of similar colours or smaller sizes. You can also add cotton wool balls to protect against any breakages. You can also cover the baubles with coffee filters for an added layer of protection.

  1. Store your Christmas trees with stretch films

As we will only be using these festive items in December, they will usually be in the storage room or storage unit for one year. Thus, to keep your Christmas tree intact and dust-free, it would be good to utilise stretch films to hold the Christmas tree for easy transportation. Those planning to save even more time might end up wrapping up the Christmas tree with all the ornaments and ribbons rather than taking the tree down. If you are taking this approach, it will be good to store your tree in a standing position so that the decors are intact.

  1. Wrap your Christmas lights in cardboard

Storing Christmas lights is always a hassle. If they are not stored properly, the lights will end up tangled up in a bad state. If you have many different Christmas lights, you can easily store them in a box by wrapping them in cardboard. This will keep them in an organised state, and the lights will also be tangle-free. Once you have tied them around the cardboard, you can label the type of Christmas lights on the cardboard so that you do not have to try all of them every time.

Self-storage has seen an increase in demand in recent years. However, there are still several misconceptions floating around.

Unfortunately, these myths can either dissuade you from renting a storage unit or use them for the wrong reasons. You may have heard them vaguely from someone else and became needlessly concerned.

Rest assured, here are some common myths finally debunked!

Self-storage is not safe and secure

One of the most common misconceptions about renting self-storage spaces is that they are not safe.

However, not only is that untrue, but self-storage spaces in Singapore have a high level of security! Most self-storage facilities are equipped with 24/7 CCTV surveillance with PIN code access, ensuring that only you can access your storage unit.

At Extra Space, we offer additional security features such as:

  • Regular security patrol around the storage area
  • Regular security checks by the facility staff during business hours
  • Monitored individual storage alarm, which activates upon intrusion when PIN code is not activated
  • Locked by your own padlock so that none of our staff can access your storage unit
  • Smart access storage with digital locks (Only available at selected storage facilities)
  • Recorded 24/7 CCTV footage

Renting a storage unit is expensive

Another common myth about renting a self-storage unit is that they are expensive and only meant for those who are well-off. This belief is reinforced by reality TV shows depicting storage with priceless antiques, paintings and collections.

The truth is, self-storage is for everyone, regardless of monetary wealth or status. There are different types of storage space created to cater to different needs.

The cost of renting a self-storage space will differ due to storage size, duration and ongoing promotions, starting from $50 per month.

You can only rent self-storage for long term

Whenever you mention ‘self-storage’, most people would often think of ‘long-term’, leading many to believe that renting a self-storage unit is a long-term commitment.

While this may be true in the past, many self-storage companies are now offering more flexible storage options for their tenants who only require the space short-term!

At Extra Space, the shortest lease period is 14 days, slightly shorter than the standard in the industry. You do not have to worry about signing up for the long haul if you do not need it.

Furthermore, if you require a longer lease period after your 14 days are up, you can even opt to extend the lease!

Clean Self Storage

You can store anything in your self-storage space

There are no restrictions on what you can store in a self-storage space

In movies, characters always seem to have everything they need to be stored conveniently in their self-storage space, including items that may be considered hazardous, flammable, toxic, and even dangerous.

However, most self-storage companies will restrict what you are allowed to store in your storage unit. Here is the list of some of the most common items that are not allowed in your storage;

  • Flammable or Combustible Materials
  • Radioactive, Hazardous, and Toxic Materials
  • Plants and Living Items
  • Perishable Goods and Food

If you are unsure if the item is allowed to be stored in your storage unit, simply ask any of our customer service advisors, and they will be happy to assist you!

Multi Size Self Storage

Storage spaces offered are all large warehouses

Storage providers in Singapore provide a wide range of sizes for their units. You can select the storage size you need based on your requirements.

At Extra Space Asia, our storage sizes range from as small as 6 square feet to as large as you require!

Still not sure how much space you need? Just speak to our customer service advisors!

Only hoarders and business owners make use of self-storage

Another common misconception that people have is that only hoarders and business owners make use of self-storage. While this is partly true, it does not mean that the average person does not use self-storage.

At Extra Space Asia, we have customers who use storage spaces for a wide variety of reasons, such as:

  • Storing seasonal items
  • Storing items while relocating
  • Store furniture, appliances, and other belongings while their home/office is undergoing renovation
  • Storing archive
  • Storing their collections
  • Storing memorial items, such as marble plaque or personal diary

People can live and sleep inside their storage space

This is one of the more bizarre self-storage myths out there. However, people are not allowed to live and sleep inside their storage space.

A storage unit is specifically designed for storing items while keeping the outside elements such as dust, dirt, water, and sunlight away from your belongings.

This meant there would be no windows or water/electric supply. Furthermore, the room will be completely sealed. As such, it will be highly unsafe to live in your storage unit.

Smart storage units are the latest technology in the self-storage industry. Instead of a traditional storage space door secured by a lock, smart storage allows users to access their storage unit using their smartphones! This is done by integrating a wireless smart lock system into the self-storage unit.

At Extra Space Asia, we are Singapore’s first self-storage company to integrate the award-winning Noke smart security technology into our self-storage system, offering a keyless self-storage experience.

Here are two benefits of our keyless smart storage unit for your consideration!

Experience seamless convenience

We believe that your storage experience should always come first, and our keyless smart access storage system offers you the most convenient self-storage experience.

You will no longer need to remember your PIN code or handle a physical lock and key to gain access to your storage unit. All you need is your smartphone!

Enjoy peace of mind

At Extra Space Asia, our keyless smart access storage also offers our customers a wealth of on-site data for both security monitoring and predictive analytics on top of our existing security system.

This means that all smart storage unit activity is monitored in the app, and our customers will only have access to the area where their storage space is located.

Furthermore, all our keyless smart access storage space is equipped with End-To-End Bluetooth Encryption, thanks to Noke, an award-winning smart security solution!

Share access with your friends and family

Another benefit of Noke that customers frequently use is the shared access feature. This allows our customers to share and control access to any family or friends all without being required to be physically present at the storage unit!

There are many reasons why you will store at a self-storage facility. It can be because you are storing your belongings during the moving transition or just your toy and hobby collections.

One question we often receive from our customers on self-storage is how to know which storage unit is the right fit for their storage needs.

Did you also know that the price differences between renting small and medium storage units can be more than $800 a year? It pays—literally—to estimate the correct storage unit size you need before renting the storage unit.

Here, we will answer that question and show you how to pick the perfect storage space.

Perform an inventory check of all your belongings

The first step to estimating the storage space size you need will be to identify all belongings you would like to store.

Count all boxes and identify any fragile items or odd-shaped items that might not be stackable. Be sure to note down everything so that you can refer back to it at a later stage.

Double-check your home storage options

Before renting a self-storage unit, it is always advisable to double-check your home storage options. This step ensures you have used all your available storage space at home and do not pay extra for a larger storage unit.

The difference between a small and medium-sized storage space is around $800 per year. As such, we will always advise you to ensure that all home storage is fully utilized before considering storing at a self-storage facility.

Calculating the storage space required

After confirming the remaining belongings to be stored at a self-storage facility, you will need to calculate the space required.

When picking a storage size, find out the square footage (sq. ft.) required. To achieve this, stack the items like how you will store them if they are placed in your storeroom. Once done, multiply the total length and width of your belongings. Remember to buffer some extra space to factor in future storage needs.

It is not advisable to take a storage space with the exact dimension that leaves no room for additional belongings unless you are sure that you do not plan to store anything else in the future.

To help calculate your required storage space, you can refer to our storage size estimator guide or simply drop our customer service advisor a call at 6771 3100!

Planning to relocate back to your hometown or another country for work? Relocating is one of the most stressful things, even for those who do it regularly. Thus, self-storage might be a useful tool for most expats to try.

Here are three benefits of self-storage to expect:

  1. Safe and secure extra storage space

The idea of self-storage will come in handy for expats who have moved from a bigger home to a much smaller home but still have many pieces of furniture or boxes that would not fit into the current home. They can start to rent a self-storage unit first to store those items that do not fit in their homes during this transition period.

By storing your items in a self-storage facility such as Extra Space Asia Self-Storage, you will be provided a unique Pincode to access the storage area. For added protection, only the storer has access to the storage unit. Even our Customer Service Executives do not hold any keys to the lock on the storage unit.

  1. Flexible storage duration

In cases where you are planning to relocate soon, the storage space becomes a safe and secure choice for storing your personal items and furniture. It is a good transition space where you can store your items first until the relocation details are finalised for the transporter company to move everything to your new location.

For self – storage providers such as Extra Space Asia Self-Storage, expats will also have the choice of storing from as short as 14 days to as long they require. There is no fixed storage contract to adhere to. If you require more time to settle your relocation arrangements, simply extend the storage duration by speaking to the Customer Service Executive directly.

  1. Cost-effective storage solution

Compared to continuing the property rental for a prolonged period, which can be expensive in Singapore, expats can save more by storing their personal items at a self-storage facility that offers a more flexible storage plan and duration to fit their storage needs. You will be glad to know that you only need to pay for the storage size you rent, some administration fees and insurance coverage.

Did you also know that if you plan to store for a longer time period, there might also be more storage rental discounts that can bring about more cost savings down the road? Thus, it is important to always check in with the various mini storage providers to check out the latest promotions that best cater to your needs.

Whether you are looking to move out or reclaim some space at home, it can be very stressful. It is important to be as prepared as you can to minimise the problems that you might encounter.

To help make the process easier, ensure that you are prepared with the proper materials. Here are the top five must-have packing supplies that you will need.

Moving Boxes

When it comes to packing supplies, the most important one of them all is… the box. Boxes are vital for decluttering regardless of the size of your belongings. As such, obtaining moving boxes should be your priority.

One crucial detail that you should remember when purchasing the moving boxes is to ensure that it is sturdy enough to carry all your belongings.

You will likely require boxes in an assortment of sizes. It is also wise to get more boxes than you think you will need to prevent that extra trip down to the DIY shop to get more.

While packing your belongings, keep items that are similar in the same box. Categorising will allow you to be more organised in the future when you decide to unpack.

At Extra Space Asia, we provide a selection of boxes for your needs. Check out our Box Shop to find out more.

Bubble Wrap

Bubble Wrap

The next important packing material that you need is Bubble Wrap. While sturdy moving boxes protect your fragile belongings, it is not enough to prevent breakages during loading and unloading.

This is where bubble wrap comes into play. The most common mistake that you can make is thinking that bubble wrap is for professional use only. Bubble wrap should be used by everyone who wants to safeguard their prized belongings.

Protect any fragile belongings such as glasses, vases, and oversized picture frames by wrapping them up in layers of bubble wrap. It can even serve as dividers inside moving boxes, serving as an extra layer of padding.

Most DIY shops sell bubble wrap. However, if you really can’t find any, try our Box Shop for an affordable option.

Marker Pens

While not typically known as a packing material. You must have at least one marker pen when you are packing.

The purpose of the pen is to label all the boxes and list the items in each of them.

While almost everyone will have one at home, it is never too late to double-check before starting your packing journey.

Heavy-duty Clear Packing Tapes

Heavy-duty Clear Packing Tapes

Once you have packed all of your belongings into the boxes, you will need to secure them with heavy-duty clear packing tape.

Tapes are essential for packing as it keeps your boxes secured and reinforced. On top of this, you may also need to use some tape to secure the bubble wrap in places around fragile items to ensure that they do not fall out during the move.

Ensure that you have purchased the heavy-duty clear packing tape as they are specifically designed for packing. For these, we recommend you do not skimp on the cost as the cheapest packing tape is not going to last.

When sealing boxes, ensure that you tape the middle where the flaps meet and along the sides for extra support. If the boxes are heavy, consider crisscrossing the tapes on the box.

Tape Gun

If you are looking to save time and effort while sealing your boxes using heavy-duty clear packing tape, you might want to consider purchasing a tape gun.

You might think that the amount of time saved by purchasing a tape gun might not be much. However, owners of tape guns will tell you otherwise.

And the One to Avoid

Avoid packing peanuts. While it seems helpful in protecting your belongings, they are messy and take up tons of space. Instead, your bubble wrap is enough to protect your belongings.

If you require additional protection, try using Air-Paq, an inflatable airbag created just for this purpose.

And the One to Avoid

Before you purchase any packing materials, we recommend that you search for them at home. Chances are, you already have almost everything at home.

However, if you need any essential packing supplies, why not drop us a call to get some from our Box Shop?
