With fall in full swing, it’s an excellent time to visit your storage unit to adjust your belongings for the changing weather. There are many items to swap out from your home to the unit. Here are five reasons to visit your unit in the fall. 

Why Autumn Is an Ideal Time to Visit Your Unit 

1. Stash Camping Gear

Many people skip camping in the wintertime. If you’re not planning on spending any time in your tent for the coming months, drop all gear off at the storage unit. First, remove any traces of food from cooking utensils and dishware to prevent pests from entering your unit. Then, place clean, dry items in plastic bins with labels so that you can find everything next season.

2. Pick Up Winter Gear

Freezing temperatures are moving in, and it’s time for some cold-weather fun. That may mean picking up sleds and ice skates or digging out boots. Make sure to gather up accessories such as snowboarding goggles, boot dryers, and hand warmers, too.

3. Grab Holiday Decor

Many people celebrate fall and winter holidays. Prepare your household for holiday celebrations by picking up decor from your storage unit. This way, you’ll have everything at home when it’s time to decorate and you won’t have to worry about scheduling a trip to the unit. 

4. Adjust Your Clothing

While you retrieve winter gear, consider dropping off summer clothing like tank tops, shorts, and flip flops to make room for jeans, coats, and sweaters. Keep some shoulder-season items like light jackets and sneakers to comfortably hold you over through the fall.
