Fall Storage Tips To Get Ready For Winter

Patio with autumn colored trees

Take the changing leaves as a sign that fall is here, and you are probably thinking about what you need to do before the colder weather arrives. Get that fall clean out started. To get started, you might consider renting a self-storage unit in St. Albert for any items that take up extra space.

DECLUTTER YOUR YARD OR GARAGE

Spring cleaning is a traditional way of thinking; how about organizing and cleaning up in the fall 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 do not expect to use next year.

PATIO FURNITURE

Although you might not feel ready to put away the patio furniture, temperatures could drop any day, and unexpected snowfalls 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, storing 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 dust buildup. Furniture drop cloths can keep your furniture much cleaner, so when it comes time to take it 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 excellent for summer clothing or toys like motorcycles, ATVs, boats, canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards. Store your toys in a drive-up storage unit instead of leaving them out in the cold weather during winter.

VEHICLE OR RV STORAGE TIPS

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

THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN USING SELF STORAGE

If you are storing seasonal items, such as a BBQ, left-over food on the grill can invite rodents to enter your storage unit. Clean everything off with soap and water before storing, and it's a good idea to run the grills through your dishwasher.

You may leave propane tanks outside and at home, but they are prohibited from being stored in your storage unit.

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