DECLUTTER YOUR YARD OR GARAGE

Spring cleaning is a traditional way of thinking; how about Fall cleaning and organizing so Spring can be enjoyed as soon as it arrives.  Now is a great time to go through your home, yard and garage and decide what you wish to get rid of when looking at your summertime or seasonal items.  Toss donate or sell any of the items you did not use this season or anticipate using next year.

PATIO FURNITURE

Although you might not feel ready to put away the patio furniture, the reality is temperatures could drop any day and unexpected snow falls can derail your storage plans.  Make sure you clean and store your patio furniture in a dry and protected place. 

If you don't have room in your garage or yard, putting your patio furniture in a self storage unit will keep it protected. Even though your furniture will be in a storage unit, make sure you cover everything to prevent any dust build up.  Furniture drop cloths can keep your furniture much cleaner, so when it comes time to put out, less work needs to be done in the Spring.

GARDENING TOOLS

It's time to clean and put away all your gardening tools (lawnmower, hedge trimmer, weed whacker and other tools).  Instead of loading up your shed or garage with these items, get them out of the way by renting a self storage unit.  Self Storage units are a great way to get the extra space you need so your vehicle can spend the colder weather protected in the garage.  

OTHER WAYS A SELF STORAGE UNIT CAN HELP

Self storage is great for summer clothing, or toys like motorcycles, ATV's, boats, canoes, kayaks and paddleboards.   Store your toys in a drive-up storage unit instead of leaving them out in the cold during the winter months.

VEHICLE OR RV STORAGE TIPS

Before storing your RV or vehicle it's a good idea to clean them inside and out.  In trailers and motorhomes, leave the fridge and freezer doors open to prevent mold growth while in storage.  Add any fuel stabilizers, drain the tanks and remove the batteries.

THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN USING SELF STORAGE

If storing seasonal items, such as a BBQ, left over food on the grill can be an invitation for rodents to enter your storage unit.  Clean everything off with soap and water before storing, it's a good idea to run the grills thru your dishwasher.

Leave propane tanks outside and at home, these tanks are prohibited from being stored in your storage unit.

Visit your  storage unit regularly and whenever you wish between the hours of 6 AM and 10 PM, 7 days a week.
