End Of Summer Self Storage Tips
How do you prepare for fall? Our self storage tips and storage units are just the thing you need to store your beach towels, tanks tops, and camping equipment until next spring. Our facility is stocked with moving supplies and rental equipment to make your move easy as well as efficient.
Use Our Suggestions To Get Started Storing, And Then Give Us A Call And Swap Your Seasons With Ease.
- Seasonal clothes should be separated by type of clothing and clearly marked on the outside of the box.
- Mold and mildew can be detrimental to pool toys, so leave enough time to dry up water from a fun season in the pool.
- A yearly maintenance to your lawn mower is a must and right before you move it to storage is a great time to do it. Clean under the deck of your lawn mower to get rid of grass clippings. Doing this small maintenance on your yard equipment will help them last longer and be ready for future seasons.
- Leftover food on the grill will attract the wrong crowd in your storage unit. Clean under the grates and burners, then apply a layer of oil to prevent rust from forming.
- Your gardening equipment may need a little sprucing before next year, so grab the paint, sandpaper, and sharpening tools to make them look like new.
- Take the battery, spark plugs, and gas out of your lawn mower and tiller. It is important to take any flammable liquids and store them elsewhere.

What Seasonal Items Do People Store in the Fall?
People use self storage for storing seasonal items all the time. When the temperature starts to drop as summer gives way to fall, there are many items that are put away until warm weather returns again in the spring. Instead of loading up closets and your garage with these items, get them completely out of the way by using self storage. Here are some items that many people place into storage during the fall:
- Lawnmower
- Weed whacker
- Hedge trimmer
- Gardening tools
- Summer clothing
- Patio furniture
- Pool accessories
- Motorcycles
- ATVs
- Watersport vehicles
STORING GRILLS
- Clean all parts of the grill of food and grease.
- Spraying a light layer of oil can winterize it and prevent condensation from causing rust.
- Bleed the gas line and remove propane tanks before storage. Keep flammable liquids somewhere safe, cool, and dry.
- We keep our storage units pest free with preventative measures. Keeping food out of your storage unit will aid in the process of pest free storage.
GARDENING EQUIPMENT
- After a long season of gardening, sharpen blades and fix any broken or splintering handles.
- If the tools are past their prime, replace them before the next season.
LAWN MOWERS
- Take spark plugs off and put the battery on a tender. Bring the battery with you, so you can monitor its charging.
- When storing the lawn mower, remove gas. This flammable liquid is not allowed in storage units or in gas powered tools.
