Is the Family Burrow the right size?

As a rule of thumb, allow about 25 crates per bedroom plus a few extra for the kitchen and bathroom. For an office, five crates a desk is a fair start, plus a few for the kitchen and the comms cupboard. The Family Burrow is built for a three-bedroom home or a mid-size office. If you get halfway through packing and run short, message us and we’ll drop more crates over.

Also the right size for

  • A three-bedroom house, packed room by room
  • An office of fifteen or so desks
  • A full-house renovation with everything into storage
  • A downsize, where there is more to sort than to move

Two weeks of hire is included. Need longer? Extra weeks are $1.50 a crate per week, so this pack is $113 for each extra week. Choose them at checkout, or message us before the collection date and we'll add them.
