But simply storing your seasonal items isn't enough – proper rotation and preservation are key to ensuring their longevity. In this blog, we'll discuss some tips for effectively storing your seasonal items and keeping them in good condition.

 

Before you start storing your seasonal items, it's essential to sort through them and declutter them. This will help you determine what needs to be stored and what can be donated or thrown away. Getting rid of unnecessary items will also save space in your storage unit.

 

Investing in high-quality containers is crucial for protecting your belongings while they're in storage. Plastic bins with lids are a great option as they provide protection against moisture, dust, and pests. Avoid using cardboard boxes as they are more prone to damage and can attract insects.

 

Labeling your containers is essential for easy access and organization. This will save you time and hassle when looking for specific items in your storage unit. Be sure to label each box with its contents and the season it belongs to.

 

As the seasons change, so should the contents of your storage unit. Make a plan to rotate your items based on their seasonal use. For example, during winter, keep summer items towards the back of your unit and bring forward all winter necessities. This will not only keep your storage unit organized but also save you time when retrieving items.

 

Fragile items require extra care when storing them. Wrap delicate items in bubble wrap or packing paper and label them as fragile. Place them towards the top of your storage unit to avoid any accidental crushing.

 

Instead of stacking boxes on top of each other, consider using shelves or pallets to make use of the vertical space in your storage unit. This will not only provide extra room but also prevent any potential damage from heavy items placed on top.

 

With these tips in mind, you can effectively store and rotate your seasonal items in your self-storage unit. At Arborstone Storage, we strive to provide the best storage solutions for our customers.
