April 14th, 2022




Self-storage is incredibly useful especially during times of change such as; going to college, moving, deployment, downsizing, decluttering, or renovation. But it is useful for more than just temporary storage, use storage year-round with seasonal storage! Here's how to make the most of your unit all year:


Spring Storage:

As the weather starts to warm up, self-storage can be a great place to store all of your winter gear. This is especially true if you live in an apartment or condo and don't have a lot of extra space. Items to consider include:
  • Winter Decorations
  • Snow Shovels
  • Snowmobile
  • Snowblower
  • Sleds

  • Sweaters
  • Hats, Gloves, and Scarves
  • Snow Boots
  • Snow Pants

Summer Storage

Time for play! Kids are finished with school, outdoor sporting activities galore, and vacation preparation! Make room for fun in the sun items:
  • Boat & Pool Covers
  • Cool Weather Clothing
