Using self storage for every season

Self storage is the gift that keeps on giving. It provides a safe and secure space to store household belongings during a move or keep stock while growing your business. Whether you’re renovating your home, decluttering or downsizing your space, self storage can make the process easier. Self storage can be used throughout the year, serving a unique purpose throughout spring, summer, autumn and winter – and here’s how!

Spring

Self storage is the perfect way to declutter your home while spring cleaning. When you have too many belongings, it can be difficult to know where to start. A self storage unit provides a safe and secure space to store your excess belongings until you know what to do with them.

You can easily access your belongings when you need them, and you’ll have plenty of space to store everything until you’re ready to get rid of it. Consider storing bulky coats, Christmas decorations, snow gear and winter equipment, making space for the warmer weather.

Summer

There’s a definite lifestyle shift during summer. The warmer days encourage people to spend more time outdoors, playing sports and entertaining guests.

Self storage is an affordable way to store any excess furniture such as couches and tables that were previously used to create a cosy winter space. Removing this furniture opens up living space in your home and garden for summer activities like barbecues and outdoor gatherings with friends.

Autumn

As the temperature starts to drop, you may want to start packing away your summer sports equipment and seasonal gear. Self storage serves as an extension of the home, with a range of unit sizes to keep cricket gear, watersports equipment and patio furniture.

Winter

A self storage unit is a great place to store holiday decorations, costumes and other festive items. You’ll also have plenty of space to store all your seasonal gear, and you can access it whenever you need it.

These are just a few practical ways that self storage can offer value throughout the year. At Wigwam Self Storage, we offer a choice of different storage unit sizes at both our Chipping Norton storage facility and our Bromsgrove storage facility, ranging from 16 sq ft to 250 sq ft to keep your belongings safe in every season.

Whether you want to store your snow boots in spring or your cricket gear in winter, Wigwam Self Storage is the way! Call us at 01608 656 300 and chat with our friendly team.

Highly recommend this company! I recently moved and needed to store some items and was unsure where to store as I wanted to make sure it was close by but also very secure. I contacted this company and to spoke to Holly who was so welcoming and helped me decide what size would be better for me by allowing me access to see the units. The level of security in the premises is fantastic with cameras at every corner! I decided in the end to go with a 50ft storage and then dealt with both Helen and Jeremy who explain each step what happens moving forward and made sure that I would get access on the date that suited me. The process I thought was going to be long and added stress for me, however all 3 took that stress away! Thank you again!

Easy peasy. Nice people to deal with; all my (probably, very silly) questions were answered quickly and clearly, and the follow up to check that my move went smoothly was a nice finishing touch.
