The sound of lawn mowers has been replaced with crunchy leaves and the buzz of leaf blowers. Outdoor pools, cottages and trailers are closed, and summer toys that once littered the backyard, will be piled into the garage or basement awaiting a new summer season of fun in the sun.
It’s true that we wish the warm and sunny weather would last a tad bit longer here in Southern Ontario. But, we know that all good things come to an end and transition into other great things. We would miss out on experiencing the vibrant colours and crisp weather of the fall season. This time of year, the fact that winter is coming becomes all too real...and fingers crossed it passes quickly, so that we can welcome spring and summer back!
Here at Storage Solutions, we find the fall season to be a very transitional time for many of our customers. They come to our self-storage facility before the first snowfall (because moving anything in the snow is not fun), for a secure place to store seasonal summer items that are taking up much-needed room in their basements, sheds and garages:
Even if you have room to store these items at your home (commonly your garage), we find that people often have to choose between using their garage to store their summer stuff or for parking their vehicle. By renting a self-storage unit for your summer belongings and seasonal items, you can make room in your garage for your car and truck, which means not having to wake up extra early on those cold winter mornings to scrape the ice off your car, which would be sitting frozen in your driveway.
Speaking of cars, fall is also when we experience a lot of vehicle storage and motorcycle storage rentals. Motorcycles, sports cars and classic cars do not fare well in the winter months if stored outside in the harsh elements. Often there is not enough room in the garage for an extra vehicle (let alone a single vehicle or a spare set of tires). A self-storage unit, like our 8’x20’ storage container, is the perfect solution for secure car storage or motorcycle storage until spring and summer return.
After fall comes winter…and Christmas! Did you know that Storage Solutions can help make your life easier at this very busy time of year? Here are 2 ways one of our self-storage unit rentals can help you make your Christmas’ bright:
It really is amazing how self-storage can help you prepare for all the changing seasons plus give you the extra space you need throughout the year to help keep you organized and less stressed.
