As the seasons change, so do your storage needs. From summer sports equipment to winter holiday decorations, there are plenty of seasonal goods that need to be put away once their time of year is over. Finding a place for all of these items can prove difficult. Renting a self storage unit is a flexible and handy way to keep these things organized while also saving room in your home. Here are some of the ways that seasonal self storage can help:

1. Free Up Space in Your Home

Seasonal goods such Christmas decorations, winter clothes, and summer sports gear might take up useful space in your house. Renting a seasonal self storage unit helps you free up room for daily use by keeping these objects out of the way when they're not needed.

2. Protect Your Belongings

Seasonal goods find a safe and secure home in self storage facilities. Many facilities have climate controlled units, which are perfect for anything sensitive to temperature and humidity changes—including electronics, hardwood furniture, documents, artwork, and some fabrics. By putting these items in climate controlled storage, you ensure that they're kept away from extreme temperatures and humidity.

3. Organize Your Seasonal Goods

Stowing your seasonal items in a self storage facility helps you effectively arrange them. Labeling and organizing boxes helps you easily locate what you need as the seasons change. When it comes time to replace your seasonal clothing, this organization saves you time and money.

4. Store Bulky Items

Your garage or basement can become crowded with bulky objects like snowblowers, patio furniture, and camping gear. Many self storage facilities provide units of different sizes, so you can pick one that exactly meets your needs. Lockaway Storage has units that measure up to 40x45! Whether you're storing a house's worth of furniture or a fleet of snowmobiles, you can find the space you need to keep your home clutter-free.

5. Seasonal Sporting Goods Storage

If you enjoy sports, you probably have gear you only use during specific seasons. When you store your skis, snowboards, kayaks, or bikes in a self storage facility, they remain safe when not in use. When you take them out again, they'll be in good condition and ready to go.

6. Holiday Decoration Storage

Holiday decorations occupy a lot of room, considering they're only used once a year. Once the holiday fun is over, why send these decorations to take up space in your basement or closet? Keeping everything in a self storage facility keeps your decorations secure and free of clutter until you're ready to decorate again. This prevents your decorations becoming twisted or broken in your basement or attic as well.

7. Transition Between Seasons

As the seasons change, seasonal self storage units offer a flexible solution for swapping out winter gear for summer items (or vice versa). This flexibility guarantees that you'll have simple access to everything you need, exactly when you need it. Just drive to your storage unit and load up!

8. Peace of Mind

Knowing that your seasonal goods are kept safely and securely in a self storage facility can help with your peace of mind. Most storage facilities guarantee constant protection of your items by means of 24/7 surveillance and gated entrances.


Renting a self storage unit is a great solution to all of your seasonal storage needs. Free up room in your house, protect and organize your belongings, and create a safe space for cumbersome, seasonal sporting equipment. A self storage facility will let you keep your house clutter-free all year long, whether you need to store summer equipment, winter clothes, or holiday decorations. To enjoy the ease and peace of mind that come with having a specific place for your seasonal goods, think about getting a self storage unit for seasonal storage.
