As the chill of winter settles in, it’s the perfect time to reclaim valuable space around your home by packing away all those summer bits and pieces you won’t need for a few months. From beach towels to cricket bats, outdoor furniture to portable fans — storing your seasonal items in a self storage unit is a clever way to keep your home (and your garage) organised, clutter-free and stress-free.
Why Use Seasonal Storage?
We all know how much room those once-a-year items can take up. Think about it: your summer wardrobe of lightweight dresses, shorts and swimmers, camping gear, garden furniture, Christmas tree and festive decorations — they all fight for precious cupboard space that could be better used over the winter months.
A secure self storage unit gives you that extra breathing space, while keeping your belongings safe, clean and easy to access when the seasons change again. And come summertime, you can simply swap your winter coats, doonas, heaters and fire pits into storage, so you’re never tripping over items you don’t need.
What Can You Store?
Self storage is perfect for:
- Summer clothing & accessories: Pack away shorts, sandals, swimsuits and hats.
- Sporting gear: Surfboards, cricket equipment, camping gear, golf clubs.
- Outdoor furniture & garden tools: Protect your outdoor tables, chairs and BBQ from harsh winter weather.
- Portable fans & air conditioners: Free up space in your garage or spare room.
- Seasonal décor: Christmas trees, lights and wreaths.
In reverse, when summer rolls around again, you can store:
- Bulky winter clothing: Coats, boots, scarves and gloves.
- Winter bedding: Extra thick blankets, doonas and heated throws.
- Heating appliances: Portable heaters, fire pits, wood piles.
- Winter sporting gear: Skis, snowboards or camping equipment for cold-weather trips.
