Offseason Storage Solutions for City Living

A group of common seasonal recreational gear, such as bicycles, surfboards, kayaks, and sports equipment.

There’s nothing like shredding powder on the ski slopes during the winter or camping under the stars in the spring and summer. When your favorite season ends, however, what should you do with your recreational gear? If you live in the suburbs, the answer may be as simple as tucking it in your garage or closet.

Unfortunately, city dwellers don’t always have the luxury of additional space. Higher living costs and smaller home sizes often leave residents in urban areas with two choices: live in constant clutter or get rid of seasonal gear they still need or want.

If you live in a smaller house or apartment in a metropolitan area, don’t give up your hobbies to save space—discover how self storage can help with offseason storage for urban residents!

Benefits of Storing Seasonal Items Offseason: Decluttering With Offseason Storage

Self storage simplifies decluttering your urban apartment or house by creating additional space specifically for bulky items like tents, sleeping bags, beach chairs, and seasonal clothes. Instead of cramming your closets with fishing rods and hiking boots or leaving your lawn chairs in your truck, you choose the perfect solution from a wide range of storage unit sizes.

If you need to say Aloha to your collection of Hawaiian shirts for the winter, a storage unit provides a convenient spot to keep them until warm weather returns. You can also keep larger equipment like a disc golf practice basket indoors without making it a permanent décor piece in your living room.

Store Your Recreational Gear Closer to Areas of Interest

Storage doesn’t just provide a space for your kayak, mountain bike, or paddleboard—it can make using them even more convenient. Some storage facilities operate near sports complexes, state parks, lakes, and camping grounds to help you store your belongings near the places you’ll use them. Explore our KO Storage facilities and see which of our locations can make your camping or sporting adventures even easier.

Give your recreational vehicle its own storage space with outdoor or covered parking. When winter arrives and the lakes close for the season, bring your boat or RV to your storage facility for peace of mind.

A Storage Unit Can Shield Your Belongings From the Weather

If you have limited space in your home or apartment, you may be tempted to store sports equipment, hiking boots, or other recreational gear in your car’s trunk. However, pads, helmets, shoes, and other sporting gear can carry dirt, germs, and foul smells that only intensify in the back of your unventilated car.

Instead of turning your car into a gym locker, choose self storage. A climate-controlled storage unit provides a clean, stable environment for your belongings that won’t promote the growth of bacteria. Just make sure to thoroughly wash and dry your sports equipment before placing it in your storage unit.

Self Storage Helps You Create an Inventory of Seasonal Clothing

Did you know the average American spends nearly $1,500 on clothes annually? It may seem impossible to spend that much on clothing until you consider how many sweaters or fun summer T-shirts may be crammed into your closet or dresser right now.

By creating a seasonal clothing inventory in your storage unit, you can enjoy a more organized wardrobe and maybe even avoid buying duplicate items. You can even store holiday decorations for an additional room at home!
