  • Storm Windows
  • Anything Cluttering up the House

Here are a few tips to remember for items you might be moving into storage:

  1. When storing winter items, remember to make sure they are completely dry before putting them in a box or tote.
  2. Compress bulky items to save space while storing.
  3. Remove fuel from engines.
  4. Use a trash barrel to store tall items, such as snow shovels and ski poles, so they don’t fall over.

Whether you spent winter and spring bundling up and braving the cold or hibernating and waiting for warm weather, there’s no denying that summer’s finally here. So, as you transition between seasons, use your summer self storage unit wisely to get maximum return on your storage space.

Remember, self-storage is all about convenience and peace of mind. By following these storage tips, you’ll ensure that your belongings remain safe, accessible, and ready for your next adventure.
