Summer is long gone, so what do you do with all your warm-weather gear? You don’t want to leave it outside or take the risk of storing it in a damp basement. Luckily, Arctic Storage at Midtown in Anchorage, AK, has the perfect solution: personal storage. They’ve put together a list of tips to help you store the most common summer items.

Warm-Weather Belongings to Put in Personal Storage

Summer Clothes & Toys

personal storageEnsure your clothes are clean and moth-free, and that your storage unit is tightly sealed so moths can’t get in. It’s best to store clothing in a plastic container, away from sunlight. Clean and dry pool toys to make sure no mold, mildew, or bugs are hanging on. Also, remove all batteries from electronic toys.

Camping Equipment

First, confirm all your camping items are clean and dry. Then, check that your storage unit is also clean, cool, and dry. Use backpacks to hold your camping gear—you’re going to have to store them anyway, and they will take up a lot less space than plastic storage bins.

Boats

Boats must be stored under a cover that will protect them from freezing temperatures—as well as snow and ice if you’re keeping them outside. Custom covers are more expensive, but the quality and fit are well worth the investment. It’s also important to block your boat off the ground to allow for adequate air circulation.
