Self-Storage Units are helpful all year round – they free up space in your home, allow you to store bulky items and are great for moving house. As we approach the colder months, there is even more of a reason to invest in a self-storage unit. The unforgiving weather conditions and busy holiday period might mean you need some more space to store furniture and other bulky items that can’t find a place in your home.
In this blog, we’ll be going through our 5 top reasons to use a self-storage unit this winter, and how this can be made even easier with our 50% off for 12 weeks offer.
At this time of year, many people come together to celebrate the holidays, hosting family and friends in their homes. If you’re planning to host people this winter, a self-storage unit could help you to clear space and declutter your home in time for their arrival. Moreover, if you typically give gifts during this time, then storing gifts in your storage unit is a great way to keep them hidden and secure until they are presented to your loved ones. If you’re putting up decorations or Christmas trees, then you might want somewhere to store some of your items to make room for these decorations, making a self-storage unit a perfect solution.
As the temperatures begin to drop, it’s time to pack away that garden furniture until the warmer months, but where is it all going to go? This is where a self-storage unit can come in handy. Whether it’s patio furniture, gardening equipment or children’s outdoor toys like paddling pools, a storage unit keeps all of these items safe and secure until you need them again in the summer. Outdoor items are subject to rust, rot, mould and pest infestations if they are left out in the cold and wet weather. This is not something you’ll want to address when it comes round to the warmer months, so why not protect your furniture and equipment in a self-storage unit? Our units are available in all different sizes, from 16 ft2 all the way up to 500 ft2 – be sure to check your nearest location to see which are available.
With harsher outdoor conditions, many people take the winter period to carry out home renovations. Whilst you’re redecorating or renovating areas of your home, you’ll want a space where you can store your items safely, so that they don’t get covered in debris, paint or dust. If you’re carrying out a short renovation, our storage units are available to rent from just 14-day periods, so you don’t need to worry about lengthy minimum hiring lengths. At our facilities you can also expect 24/7 security monitored with the latest technology, so we’ll keep your belongings safe whilst you renovate your home. If you anticipate the renovations to be going on for some time, then you can make use of our packing materials such as boxes, tape and bubble wrap, available from our box shop.
Perhaps you’re someone who wants to escape the cold British winter and do some travelling over the winter period. A self-storage unit gives you a secure place to store your belongings whilst you’re away. This is especially useful for vehicle storage. If you typically store your car or caravan on a road or driveway, and use your garage for other things, then a vehicle storage unit will give you the peace of mind that you need whilst you’re away. At our Dundee, Widnes and Wirral storage centres, we offer secure vehicle storage, with coded gates and 24-hour CCTV. Even if your travel plans are only brief, our vehicle storage options start from just one week, and you can even save on insurance premiums if you’re away for some time.
As we begin to experience the chills of winter, it’s the perfect time to think about making space in your home and putting away outdoor equipment for the season. Whether you’re looking to make room for guests, store outdoor furniture, carry out some renovations or store your vehicle whilst on holiday, Kangaroo Self Storage can help you find exactly what you need.
