How to Store Your Summer Stuff the Right Way

Summer is gone, so what do you do with all your things? MI-BOX storage rentals keep your home clutter free. 

It’s that bittersweet time of the year again. We prepare to say goodbye to fun in the sun and start preparing for all the joys that come with the holiday season. 

Most of us have spent the last three to four months barbecuing, relaxing on the patio, boating, camping or doing other classic summer activities. The problem with that is all the stuff that we won’t be using until the next sun-kissed season. 

Where to Store Your Summer Stuff

When it comes to storing seasonal items, there are a few different options people can explore, but most of them involve making areas of the home unusable and highly cluttered. 

Furthermore, overly packed spaces can attract critters even in the winter months, like mice looking for a warm, rent-free hiding spot. 

So, what are the most popular seasonal storage options to consider?

Garage

You could toss all your things into the garage like a ton of people do. You have more space in the house during the winter, but let’s be honest, we have all seen those jam-packed garages left open as we drive by. The first thing judgy people will say is “messy, messy, tsk, tsk.” 😨 

Apart from prying judgy eyes, all your belongings are exposed to toxic fumes from our vehicle’s exhaust all winter long, then used by family and friends the following summer… yucky.

That’s not all; there is STILL less than favourable news that comes with storing your things in the garage! You have less space for your vehicle, making it easy to nick the doors on storage or even risk items falling and scratching your car. 

Luckily, if this sounds terrible (and it totally does), there are other standard options you could opt into. 

Basement 

Ah, the basement sounds like a great place to store all the seasonal things you need out of the way. So, what are some pros and cons that come with that? 

The plus side is you don’t get critters living and soiling your things. You also get to enjoy all the extra space in your garage with no risk of tumbling boxes.

However, that also means you lose your basement during a time when you spend way more time indoors. 

If you have a renovated basement, this is just sad news, as the rest of the family will have less space to spread out and enjoy their much-needed space. 

If your basement isn’t remodelled, say goodbye to any chance of renovating to make more room for the fam jam.  

To each their own, but if you want an option that actually gives you your space back, continue reading on.
