Essential Tips for Using a Self-Storage Unit in the Spring and Summer with Tellus Self-Storage
As the seasons change and temperatures rise, it’s the perfect time to declutter, store seasonal items, and make the most of your Tellus Self Storage unit. Whether you're storing winter gear, summer toys, or household items, here are five essential tips to keep your belongings in top shape during the warmer months.
1. Choose Climate-Controlled Storage for Sensitive Items
Spring and summer bring heat and humidity, which can damage temperature-sensitive items like electronics, wooden furniture, photographs, and musical instruments. Opting for a climate-controlled unit at Tellus Self Storage helps protect your belongings from extreme temperatures and moisture, ensuring they stay in great condition.
2. Store Seasonal Items Strategically
As you swap out winter gear for summer essentials, make sure to organize your unit for easy access. Store winter coats, holiday decorations, and snow gear toward the back, while keeping warm-weather items—like camping equipment, pool toys, and patio furniture—at the front. This way, you can grab what you need without hassle.
3. Protect Against Humidity and Pests
Spring and summer bring increased humidity and pests, which can be harmful to stored belongings. Take these precautions:
- Use moisture absorbers or silica gel packs to prevent mold and mildew.
- Store clothes and fabrics in sealed plastic bins instead of cardboard boxes.
- Keep your unit clean and avoid storing food to deter insects and rodents.
4. Take Advantage of Drive-Up Storage for Outdoor Gear
If you're an outdoor enthusiast, having quick access to your gear is a must. Tellus Self Storage offers drive-up storage units, making it easy to load and unload bikes, kayaks, fishing equipment, and camping gear whenever adventure calls.
5. Plan Ahead for Moving and Renovation Projects
Spring and summer are peak seasons for moving and home improvement projects. If you're relocating, downsizing, or renovating, a self-storage unit can be a lifesaver. Store furniture, boxes, and household items temporarily to keep your home clutter-free during the transition.
Store Smarter This Season with Tellus Self-Storage
By following these tips, you can make the most of your storage unit and keep your belongings accessible during the warmer months. Whether you need climate-controlled storage, drive-up access, or flexible rental options, Tellus Self Storage has you covered.
