Prepare for Summer with Our Seasonal Storage Tips

The summer brings plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, whether at home or away. Self-storage can help you store all the necessary items without taking up valuable space at home. Prepare for Summer with these alternative storage options that can help make the most of your unit. This can make your next holiday easier to get ready for or even ensure you have the space you need to set up your garden for events. Here are 5 ways that you can use our self-storage units to make your Summer greater than before.

1) Suitcases, Equipment, and Clothing in One Place

Ensuring that you have everything you need before a holiday can often require you to store things in random places. It’s easy to forget what to take without having everything isolated in one place to ensure you have got everything you want and need. Self-storage is a great way to collect everything you want ahead of time, while also providing the space you need to keep everything together.

2) Make Space to Sort the Garden

Gardening is similar to decorating in terms of needing easy access to get everything done. By using a self-storage unit, it is easier to clear unused pots, garden furniture, or even outdoor toys that prevent you from working on the entire garden at once. Opening up your garden to any plans can often speed up the process, allowing you to get everything ready before any event takes place.

3) Gather For the Best BBQ

Prepare for the Summer fully by gathering all you need for your next BBQ or summer event. Whether this is having a place to put your old BBQ or somewhere to keep your new hardware until ready. It’s also easier to collect party items and must-have extras that you have in mind for your upcoming celebration or experience. 50 SQFT is the perfect fit to place your BBQ and all the items you have to tick off your party planner. We also have 12 and 25 SQFT units that can be used specifically for collecting the extra you won’t need until the day.

4) Open Space by storing for later

It’s easy to accumulate items and unused furniture that are often stored in a summerhouse or hidden in a variety of rooms during the colder months. With the hot weather in effect, having space for hosting becomes difficult when some spaces are occupied. This can also extend to winter clothes that may be taking up room instead of the attire that you are set on weather during the season. Boxing up out-of-season items and placing them in a storage unit is a common practice so take advantage of your local storage solution.

5) Get Now, Use Later

Not everything can be used straight away, making self-storage units the best way to still get what you need without taking up space. Swimming pools are a great example of something that could be stored until the weather goes beyond 20 degrees once more. Our 12 SQFT units are also a great way to hide presents for birthdays and other key celebrations.
