Now the hot weather has finally arrived, the last thing you want is to be surrounded by reminders of winter.
Free up some space in your home to make the most of summer by clearing away your bulky winter items. And if you’re struggling to find somewhere to keep them, self storage is the perfect solution.
Self Store by Andrew Porter Limited allows you to choose whatever size unit you need for however long you need it. And the facility in Adlington, Lancashire is safe and secure with CCTV and assistance on hand to help you unload your belongings if you need it.
Using seasonal storage is ideal if space is at a premium at home. And when the weather gets cold again, you can always swap over your items and put your summer items into your unit instead.
Here are some items you might want to put into self storage for summer:
Festive decorations spend most of the year in boxes but if you’ve built up a collection over the years, you may find they take up quite a bit of space. Putting your decorations into storage means you don’t have to worry about them until you are ready to start your celebrations. Self Store is particularly useful if you have large outdoor lights to add the wow factor to your property.
If you struggle to sleep in the heat, you may want to consider casting off your winter duvet for a lighter alternative. Breathable duvets with a tog rating of 4.5 are designed to help you get a good night’s sleep even when temperatures are running high. In contrast, winter duvets typically have a minimum tog rating of 10.5 making them much warmer and heavier as well as bulky to store.
We all have those jumpers, coats and boots which we only break out when the weather turns frosty. Keeping them in your wardrobe can leave little room for summer essentials and all-year-round staples. Putting your winter clothing into storage will give you much-needed space and you’ll feel like you’ve been on a shopping spree when you get them out again. You could even keep them in top condition by hanging them on a clothing rail within your storage unit.
One thing you probably won’t need during the summer months is a boost to your central heating. However, it’s always a good idea to have a back-up when your home is plunged into a cold snap. Portable heaters and firewood to go on an open fire or wood-burning stove are great for creating a cosy atmosphere at home but they can take up a lot of space. Keeping them in self storage means they will be on hand when you need them without being an inconvenience for the rest of the year.
If you are a bargain-hunter and a super-savvy shopper, you probably started shopping for Christmas in the January sales. But while starting early can save you serious money, you could be left wondering where to keep your gifts so they remain a surprise until the big day. Putting your Christmas presents into your self storage unit will ensure they are kept safe, secure and out of sight.
