You may not have noticed it before, but a lot of the things you keep in your closets, cabinets, attic, basement, or garage are seasonal by nature. You only get to use them for a couple of months each year, but they can take up so much of your space at home. To address this, you can rent storage units where you can keep these seasonal items until you need them once again.   

Seasonal Items to Keep in Storage Units

1. Winter

The winter season is synonymous with the holidays, and the holidays won’t be complete without decorations. From Christmas trees to lights and figurines, you can accumulate a lot of these items that take up too much space, even when they are packed in boxes. Winter also brings cold weather and often snow. If you have snow blowers and shovels, space heaters, and heavy winter apparel, you should also keep them in storage units, as they won’t be of use to you for the rest of the year.

2. Spring

A lot of people love to tend to their yards and gardens during spring. And while you can still use some of your gardening equipment in summer, the ones used specifically for planting, such as wheelbarrows, rakes, and shovels, should be kept in storage. They not only take up space, but they can also expose you and your family to risks of injuries. Other spring items you can store include Easter decorations.

3. Summer

There are a lot of things you can do during the summer, including water sports, biking, trekking, or just lounging about in your backyard. All of these activities require items you won’t be using once the colder seasons creep in. From bulky jet skis and ATVs to mountain bikes and patio furniture, all of them are best kept in storage units, not only to save space, but also to protect them from external elements.

4. Fall

Anything that has to do with yard work or other tasks you can’t do during the winter should be kept in storage before fall ends. This includes all of your outside furniture, barbecue grills, and pool accessories. You should also pack away your Halloween decorations or props, along with your costumes.
