Out With the Old (Season): Seasonal Storage Success

As the seasons change, so does the stuff we use every day. Winter coats, patio furniture, holiday decorations, and even summer sports gear all have their moment to shine—but they also need a place to hibernate when their time is up. That’s where self-storage comes in. Mountain Mini Storage can teach you how to successfully store season after season.

 Mountain Mini Storage’s Seasonal Storage Success Tips:

Cover Up! Keep Dust at Bay

Dust happens—even in the cleanest storage units. That’s why it’s smart to keep your seasonal items covered. Use breathable covers for furniture and plastic bins for smaller items like holiday decorations or seasonal clothing. Bonus tip: Label your bins so you’re not playing storage roulette the next time you need that ugly Christmas sweater. We sell dust covers in our office.

Keep It Breezy: Leave Room for Airflow

When packing your storage unit, using every square inch is tempting. But giving your belongings a little breathing room is key. Good airflow helps prevent moisture buildup and keeps everything fresher. Avoid stacking items directly against walls, and try to leave a small path or aisle for easy access (and better circulation). Seasonal storage success!

Group by Season and Label Everything

Want to make your life easier when the next season rolls around? Group your items by season. Store all your summer gear in one area and your winter supplies in another. Clear labels—or even a quick inventory list taped to the inside of your unit—will save you serious time and hassle. Find great labels for storage bins here on Amazon.

Use Shelving to Maximize Space

If you’re storing a variety of seasonal items, consider adding shelves to your storage unit. Shelving helps keep things organized, elevates your items off the ground (goodbye, mystery floor moisture!), and makes it easier to grab what you need without a full unpacking session.

Seasonal Swaps Made Simple

Self-storage isn’t just about saving space; it’s about making your life easier. By taking a little time to store your seasonal items properly, you’ll keep them clean, safe, and ready to go when you need them again. Pack smart, keep it breezy, and enjoy the extra room at home. You’ve got this season—and the next—entirely under control. Mountain Mini Storage is easily accessible off of I-70 year round. Call us now. 303-567-4085 or visit our website here.
