Self-Storage Tips: Getting Ready for Fall


There's no denying things will be different this fall, but the leaves are still changing, and temperatures will drop. As we enjoy the sweater weather and hot cider, it's time to start preparing for the winter. Our affordable Belleville self-storage units are perfect for keeping your summer items safe while you make room for snowblowers, jackets, and scarves.


Here are a few tips to make the most out of your end of the season storage. Are you looking for a unit? Please call U-Lock-It Self Storage today for availability. 

Keep it organized 

It's more fun taking out the swimsuits than it is putting them back in a box. There's no denying that. But you should still take your time and keep organized when putting away your summer items. Make sure you pack clothes neatly in a box with other clothes (i.e., don't store them along with summer toys). Label every box, so you're not scrambling next spring.

Do you really need that?

Storing items to make room for the next season is the perfect opportunity to eliminate clutter. While you're filling your boxes, ask yourself, "do I really need this?" If the item is still in good shape, consider selling or donating. This is a great way to free up room and use fewer boxes.

Proper storage

We suggest using labeled plastic bins for storing summer clothes. Storing this way will keep your clothes looking and smelling great when you take them out in the spring. For lawn furniture, we suggest cleaning thoroughly before putting the covers on them. If you don't have lawn furniture covers, we recommend using a tarp.

While it's no fun thinking about winter when the sun is still hot, you don't want to miss out on the opportunity to beat clutter with an Ypsilanti self-storage unit. Call us today for availability and prices.

You made a really great point about using self-storage boxes as a way to declutter your house. Preparing for the winter season has revealed just how many of the items in my house aren't going to be used for a good few months, and just keeping them there really takes up a lot of space. If I can find a self-storage unit, I'll make sure that I organize everything and get rid of things that are truly unusable anymore before storing whatever's left there.

I think you are right about donating a bunch of stuff instead of putting it in storage indefinitely. I need to get a self-storage unit that can hold my bikes during the winter. I'll have to find a unit that is 8x8.

Great tip about labeling containers before storing them. I need to get a couple of boxes moved into a storage unit. I'll have to get a unit that is 3x9 at least.

I think you make a great point about donating your stuff to make more room. I need to get a storage unit for all of my bikes. I'll have to consider getting a storage unit that is climate-controlled.

I appreciate you helping me to understand that it is a good idea to use plastic bins when you are storing clothes in a storage unit. My son is going to college soon, and I am wanting to send him with a lot of extra clothes. Since he won't have room in his apartment for the clothes, it would probably be a good idea for me to find a storage facility for him.

My favorite part of this article is the importance of keeping your products organized to prevent problems in your storage. I have a cousin who is looking for a self-storage that he will use for storing business products and asked if I have any idea what is the best options for him. I wanted to thank you for your explanation about the importance of consulting a self-storage service and I'll be sure to tell him that it will be much better if he consults one.

I like that this post reminded us to be selective of the type of storage when we are looking for a self storage unit. In doing so, we can be certain that we are choosing the right storage for our items and needs. I will definitely look for options that are available to ensure I choose the right storage for my winter attire.

Thanks for pointing out that we need to organize the things we will put away and even label their boxes. I will do that for my own convenience when I need to look for things in the future. I just need to use a self-storage unit starting now, because my flat is getitg cluttered after living here for just a year.

Thank you for mentioning that clearing out clutter is the best time to store stuff to make room for the upcoming season. My friend is returning home for the semester break. I'll advise her to store her belongings in self-storage to reduce clutter.

I'm glad you talked that preparing for the winter by having storage could help provide sufficient protection.

I found it interesting when you said that labeling boxes could provide a proper organization for your belongings. A few nights ago, my friend informed me he was looking for a self-storage that he would use as storage for his apparel business products. He asked if I had any thoughts on the best option to consider. I appreciate your explanation about the importance of consulting a self-storage service. I'll tell him it will be much better if he consults one.
