Although tucking belongings away in storage might conjure up the thought of heading into hibernation for the winter, there are plenty of items that make perfect candidates for summer storage. With the season in its early days, now is the perfect time to take advantage of a storage unit to clear up some free space in your home. Here are three items you should consider placing in storage until cooler weather returns.

3 Items to Consider for Summer Storage

1. Sports Equipment

Unless you’re jet-setting off to a winter wonderland this summer, there’s no reason to keep your colder-weather sporting equipment in your home. Instead, take skates, skis, hockey sticks, snowboards, and any other accessories to a storage unit for safekeeping. This is also a great opportunity to examine the items for any damage and have them repaired. With this step out of the way, they’ll be ready when you need them.

2. Holiday Decorations

While you’re moving them to your storage unit, take the time to test electronic items like lights so you know exactly what you need to restock come fall and winter (or maybe even now to get a great, off-season price). Getting those tangled lights and decorations out of your home will open up space, keep them in excellent condition, and provide the opportunity for a fun reopening to kick off the holiday season later in the year.

3. College Dorm Items

If your child is home from college for the summer, they might have accumulated a lot of items that just won’t fit back in their room. Instead of cluttering up your home with this extra gear, bring what they don’t immediately need to your storage unit instead. Like the other items, it’s a chance to throw away or donate some of the items, which helps cut back on unnecessary clutter even more.
