With the darker nights and colder weather, summer is officially starting to pack up for another year — it’s time for you to do the same. As soon as we see some warm weather in the UK, we flock out into our gardens with BBQs, outdoor furniture, temporary pools and everything in between. But, as the weather shifts, you may struggle to find places to store your summer purchases. Here at Self Stor, we have the perfect winter storage solutions in Beverley.
What Can You Store Over Winter?
There isn’t a right or a wrong answer to what you can store over winter. Commonly, we find that people tend to keep the majority of their summer essentials in a self-storage unit, as they are typically things that will not get any use throughout the colder months. Some of the most common items you can store over winter include:
- Outdoor furniture and summer decorations
- Swimming pools
- Sports gear i.e. bikes, jet skis, canoes etc
- Barbeques
- Camping equipment
- Children’s garden toys and equipment
Why Use Winter Self Storage?
People use self-storage over the winter for a number of reasons. Here is why you should consider investing in a self-storage container to solve your winter storage needs.
Security and Damage Protection
Self-storage units offer unparalleled protection and security for your personal belongings. If you were planning on keeping your summer possessions in the garden or your shed, you may want to reconsider.
Sometimes, people think that they’re okay to leave their summer furniture outside all winter long. This isn’t the case at all as during the colder months, furniture should be protected in order to reduce the risk of damage. A self-storage container is usually the best way to go about this.
Sheds typically get incredibly cold and damp and can seriously damage your belongings, most commonly leading to rust and mould. Not only does a self-storage unit protect your possessions from external elements, but it can also help protect you from thefts. Data from Admiral Insurance shows that during the colder and darker months (October to March) thefts from sheds increased a staggering 82%, with a peak in January.
At Self Stor, you can have complete peace of mind knowing your items are not only safe from damage, but our advanced security measures mean they’re safe from Winter thefts.
Christmas is Approaching
As much as you may or may not want to hear it right now, there’s no hiding from the fact that Christmas will be here in no time. With so much happening over Christmas, you usually require a lot more space. Whether it’s to store presents or make room for visiting friends and family, the last thing you want at Christmas time is a cluttered home. That’s exactly where a self-storage container can help.
