When most people think of storage units, they imagine boxes of old clothes, holiday decorations, or furniture. But there are many seasonal items you might not have considered storing that can help you free up valuable space at home. In this article, we’ll explore some unexpected items you can store seasonally and how doing so can make your life a whole lot easier.

1. Sports Equipment

Sports gear can take up a lot of space, especially if you or your family members participate in multiple sports throughout the year. Instead of cluttering your garage or basement, store off-season sports equipment in a storage unit. This includes:

  • Winter sports gear: Skis, snowboards, ice skates, and snowshoes.
  • Summer sports gear: Bicycles, kayaks, paddleboards, and golf clubs.

2. Gardening Tools and Equipment

Gardening enthusiasts know how much space tools and equipment can take up. During the off-season, store these items to keep them safe and organized:

  • Lawnmowers and trimmers
  • Shovels, rakes, and hoes
  • Garden hoses and sprinklers
  • Planters and pots

3. Camping Gear

Camping is a seasonal activity for many people, and the gear can be bulky and difficult to store at home. Consider storing:

  • Tents and sleeping bags
  • Camping stoves and cookware
  • Coolers and portable chairs
  • Backpacks and hiking gear

4. Pool Accessories and Patio Furniture

Once summer is over, pool accessories and patio furniture can take up a lot of space in your home. Keep these items in a storage unit during the colder months:

  • Pool floats, toys, and covers
  • Patio tables, chairs, and umbrellas
  • Outdoor cushions and decor

5. Seasonal Clothing

Wardrobe changes with the seasons, and storing off-season clothing can free up significant closet space:

  • Winter clothing: Heavy coats, boots, scarves, and gloves.
  • Summer clothing: Light dresses, shorts, sandals, and swimwear.

6. Holiday Decorations

While this might seem obvious, many people only think of storing Christmas decorations. You can also store:

  • Halloween costumes and decorations
  • Thanksgiving decor
  • Easter decorations

7. Recreational Vehicles and Equipment

Large recreational items can be challenging to store at home. Use a storage unit for:

  • ATVs and dirt bikes
  • Jet skis and small boats
  • Snowmobiles
