The Safe & Sound Handbook
One guide. All the rules. Built on trust, maintained by mates.
Need the nitty-gritty?
Council zoning, state rules, and the fine print for your yard.
Protection
The Mateship Code
How we protect you and your gear. No shortcuts, no excuses.
The "No Grubs" Guarantee
Every member verifies their email and phone. Earn a Verified Mate badge by uploading photo ID. Our "One Strike" policy means grubs are banned for life. We provide full digital trails to help insurance or police if a mate lets you down.
The Load-Check
Our "Social Simplicity" proof system. Snap a photo on drop-off and another on pick-up. It takes 10 seconds and creates a bulletproof record for both Host and Storer.
Dealing with Dramas
99% of issues are just misses in communication. Use the app chat first.
Refer back to your drop-off photos. Photos don't lie.
We provide all records to help your insurer or the law handle the rest.
Compliance
The Rules of the Road
Keeping your yard legal and your neighbours happy.
Access & Security
- Specify clear hours. Communication is key to safety.
- Gates stay locked. Mates check the lock on exit.
Insurance
- Keep your own policy active. It's your ultimate backstop.
- No illegal or hazardous storage. If it's dodgy, list it elsewhere.
The Yard Rule
- Storage only. No living on-site, no "unofficial" depots.
- Be a good neighbour. No midnight noise or trash dramas.
The Load-Check Process.
We've replaced complex bonds with a simple camera snap. Professional, honest, and built for peace of mind.
Snap at Arrival
Record exactly how your gear looked at drop-off. Everything sweet.
Snap at Departure
Final check. Rig's out, yard's clean, job's done.

State Rules & Regs
Zoning definitions (RU1, IN1, R2) vary by state. If you are listing a large yard or multiple spots, we highly recommend checking the official state rules for your jurisdiction.
Insurance Responsibilities
Both Hosts and Storers should maintain their own insurance. Read our insurance guide for recommendations on public liability, vehicle coverage, and what to check with your insurer.
