How to Prepare for Fall With a Self Storage Unit
It’s hard to believe it, but summer is flying by. Hopefully, you’ve had the chance to kick back, relax, and enjoy all your summer toys. You may have gone for long and leisurely bike rides, hung out by the pool, or enjoyed the great outdoors by camping.
Regardless of how you enjoy the summer, you’re going to have to figure out where to put all of your summer items when you no longer need them. You may not have a shed or a garage – and even if you do, chances are they are already full of stuff. You’d be hard-pressed to get more items in there.
One option for storing your summer items is a heated storage unit. A heated storage unit provides you with a safe, warm, and secure place to keep everything you won’t need until it’s summer again.
Here are three great ways you can prepare for fall with a self-storage unit:
- Clean out your summer clothes.
- Put away your summer gear like fishing rods and camping equipment.
- Put away outside furniture like patio chairs and tables.
Whatever you need to store to get ready for fall, we’ve got great heated storage units ready for you at Abacus Self Storage. And they are easy to get to from many parts of North York, especially if you live in Willowdale.
Go Through Your Closets
Now that summer is drawing to a close, you’ll need to start going through your closets to determine what you won’t need until the weather is warm again. You can:
- Put summer shoes like flip-flops and sandals in bags you can zip up.
- Get wheeled hanger units or storage bins for summer clothes.
- Put other summer items – like beach towels and lightweight bedding – in storage bins.
While going through all your items, keep an extra bag handy. That way, you can separate clothes and other items you know you’ll never wear again, and then donate them!
Label all of your bins and bags so you know what’s in them when you come to take them out of your Abacus heated storage unit next spring.
Go Through Your Summer Gear
You’ll need a whole different set of items – like shovels and skis – over the winter. Free up some space for them by packing summer items away and storing them safely in your heated storage unit near Highway 7 and Yonge Street, easily accessible from many parts of North York.
Here are some summer items you may need to put away:
- Golf clubs
- Fishing rods
- Tents, sleeping bags, and air mattresses
- Outdoor games like croquet and badminton
- Bicycles
By renting a heated storage unit, you know that all of your summer gear will be safe and ready for you once spring arrives. Give your items a once-over before you pack them away to make sure they are clean and worth keeping.
Go Through Your Backyard Items
It’s hard to think about when it’s nice out, but fall means dropping temperatures and eventually snow. You can put tarps down to protect your backyard items; but renting a heated storage unit means you have a warm, safe place to keep your things instead of worrying about them every time there’s a storm.
Go through your backyard and collect any of the items you own that need to go away, such as:
- An inflatable pool
- Your grill
- Outside furniture like patio chairs and tables
- Pool equipment
Ensure everything is dry and clean before you put it away, as mold and mildew will grow on damp items.
