Renovating your home is exciting! But let’s be honest, it can also be chaos.
Between dust, tradies, and constant rearranging, keeping your furniture and belongings safe (and out of the way) becomes a real challenge.
That’s where container storage comes in. Whether you’re doing a quick kitchen upgrade or a full home transformation, having a secure, flexible storage option can make the entire process smoother, faster, and far less stressful.
How Mobile Storage Can Help
When you renovate, every square metre of space counts. You’re often moving furniture from room to room, covering everything with sheets, or stacking boxes in hallways. Before long, you’re living in a maze of clutter.
A mobile storage container solves that problem by giving you a temporary, on-site storage solution right on your driveway or front verge.
Or, if you’d rather keep your home completely clear, you can store your container off-site at U-Move’s 24/7 monitored facility until the renovation dust settles.
Either way, you’re protecting your belongings and giving your builders room to work freely.
Common Renovation Problems Container Storage Solves
- Furniture in the way – Move everything into a container so your tradespeople can work efficiently and safely.
- Dust and debris – Keep sofas, electronics, and fabrics sealed away from plaster dust and paint fumes.
- Delays and extensions – No stress if your project runs over time, simply extend your storage hire as needed.
- Lack of garage or spare room – A container gives you instant, weatherproof space without cluttering your home.
- Worried about damage or theft: Our containers are fully lockable steel units, tough, secure, and built for Australian conditions.

How Much Space Will You Need?
Most households find that a 20ft container (32m³) comfortably fits the contents of a 3-4 bedroom home, including:
- Lounge suite and coffee table
- Dining table and chairs
- Beds and mattresses
- Whitegoods and kitchen appliances
- 30–40 boxes of personal items
Tip: It’s usually better to go slightly larger than you think, it gives you space to breathe and re-stack later if plans change.
