Items to Store in Your Storage Unit during Winter

We’re all well aware that we’re only half way through Canada’s gruesome winter. We mostly tend to flock our garage with equipments and tools we have no use for this season. Now if you’re like me, you’d rent out a cost efficient self-storage unit that you’ll be able to use for those spacious seasonal tool and equipment. Here is a short list you can refer to when cleaning out your garage.

Antique and Recreational Vehicles

While antique and recreational vehicles are tremendously fun in the warmer months, come winter time the icy floors and conditions make it extremely dangerous. Some tend to swap their cars for something a bit more practical in the winter, but many other keep it lying around in their garage. It will save you plenty of space though moving your motorcycle, Jet Ski, or that 67’ convertible Chevy to a safe and secure self-storage unit with temperature control.

Gardening Equipment

I don’t know many people that do many gardening in the cold temperatures we’re experiencing. If you’re one of the many I know, then it’ll be saving you plenty of space moving that giant hose and that shovel out to your self-storage unit. You’ll have to make sure all the tools and equipment is cleaned thoroughly (for larger equipment such as lawnmowers make sure the gas tank is emptied out). You might be storing more than just your gardening equipment in your storage unit, and come spring time the grass and mud debris left over can stimulate an insect infestation.

Patio Furniture

Outdoor picnics are no fun under a few inches of snow. To maintain your furniture you’d want to move them indoors come autumn to preserve them in the long-haul. Proper care for your furniture depends mostly on material. That being said almost any type of material will be certain to last long in temperature controlled self-storage unit. Their awkward shapes can be too space consuming for your garage.
