The items you use every day will change with the seasons. Over time, your collection of seasonal belongings can cause a considerable amount of clutter, taking up much-needed space in your home. Reclaim your space by investing in a storage unit. They come in a variety of sizes and can help you to keep your belongings secure until you need them again. 

Here are five items you should put into storage this winter:

1. Patio Furniture: Most patio furniture is notoriously susceptible to the elements. Your pieces of furniture can be damaged by the icy precipitation of the winter, causing them more harm. Protect your patio furniture by placing it in a storage unit this winter.
2. Sporting Equipment: Summer sporting equipment such as bikes, kayaks, or camping gear can take up a large amount of space in your home or garage. During the winter, when these items will be getting little to no use, it’s best to leave them in a personal storage unit.
3. Lawn Mowers & Grills: You probably won’t do much grilling, barbecuing, or landscaping during the winter months. Save space in your garage and keep your grilling equipment and lawn mower safe from the elements by choosing a self-storage unit.
4. Large Vehicles: If you have a boat or an ATV, you should also place these items in storage units during the winter. Many storage facilities offer vehicle and boat storage, allowing you to keep your belongings safe.
5. Gardening Equipment: Between late summer and early spring, your gardening equipment is hardly used. If your garage or shed is large enough, you can store items such as shovels, soil, and wheelbarrows. However, if you do not have adequate space to store these items, choosing a personal storage unit is the perfect option.
