Getting the most out of your Self Storage Unit - Seasonal Changes
Storage King
One can only imagine how people have stuff stored in their self storage units! My Guess is that it is full of stuff piled up in no particular manner.
I read an article recently with some fabulous ideas on how to make your storage unit work for you all year round. The main idea was to make your Self Storage unit a seasonal storage unit. The one requirement for this idea though is a drive up unit, so some investigation may be required to see if your local facility has this option.
The best way you can do this, and with the least amount of effort and time is to store seasonal garden tools, such as leaf blowers and lawn mowers, etc… on a utility trailer. Investing in a utility trailer, and loading it with all the heavy, bulky garden tools etc.. that are not used for the duration of the season is well worth it. Sometimes there may even be room left on the trailer to add the seasonal clothes or decorations that are not needed and can be put in storage as well, like Christmas tree, pool equipment and toys, camping gear etc... Then simply roll the entire trailer into the storage unit and leave it there. Then bring it home at the beginning of the next season, roll all the items and other equipment off the trailer, then load all the past seasons equipment or other items on, and then drive the trailer back to the storage unit. With good planning, the whole changeover for the seasons can take an hour or less.
I am sure we are all for de clutter and seasonal de cluttering is a fabulous opportunity to use your home the way it is meant to be, that is no tripping over things and shoving things into every nook and cranny in your home.
If your unit is not a drive up unit you may need to re think the transport strategy. You may need to load and unload the items individually into your storage unit. It is still a great way to store goods and requires a visit to the storage unit only once per season. A lot of facilities have forklifts, trolleys etc. that can help with the moving of your items.
So seasonal use of your unit may be an option to consider and one very important piece of advice would be to ensure that any goods you do intend using throughout each season should be stored at the front of the unit and easily accessed.
