Rent Storage

We are continuing our series on different reasons why people rent storage.  Our previous article discussed how renting an indoor storage space can help reduce clutter in your home.  We also covered how climate-controlled storage facilities offer the perfect option for people who are downsizing or RVing full time.  Today, we will look at three more reasons to rent storage space.

Collections

If you own a collection of any kind, you may find that it is outgrowing its place in your home.  When this happens, it’s time to consider renting an indoor storage space.  Climate-controlled storage is ideal for all types of collections, photos, artwork, memorabilia, and more.

Store Seasonal Items

While it’s fun to decorate for different holidays, it’s usually not so fun finding a place in your home to store the decorations. If this is the case for you, an indoor storage space is an ideal solution.

College

If you have children away at college, you will find that dorms are usually small and are not set up for a lot of “extras”.  If this is the case, you may need to rent storage to keep their personal items.

Reduce Clutter in Your Home

Placing items you do not readily use in a climate-controlled storage space can help reduce clutter and create a more harmonious home environment.

Some types of sports equipment that people rent storage for include golf clubs, kayaks, water skis, wakeboards/surfboards, tennis rackets, snow skis and more.

When potential customers are trying to decide whether or not to rent storage at an indoor or outdoor facility, there are many factors to consider.  While storage rates are higher for a climate controlled storage space, it is designed to keep your items protected from extreme temperature and humidity. There are many items that are ideal for an indoor storage space.  Our next series of articles will cover some of the most common.

Placing your belongings in climate controlled storage involves much more than loading a truck and dollying boxes into a storage space. If you want to do it right and have the option to easily locate and/or move items at a later date, there are some steps you should take to help make your experience more productive.

Determine What Size Unit You Need

Before you rent storage, it is advisable to take inventory of everything you plan to place in climate controlled storage so you can make an accurate estimate as to which size storage space you need.  Don’t make the mistake of relying on a “mental” inventory.  This often results in forgetting or missing something. Once you have an outline of your inventory, you can use a size estimator to determine the exact indoor storage space you need to rent.

Securely Pack Your Belongings

Be sure to pack your belongings as securely as possible. You should use bubble wrap or packing paper, sturdy boxes, and quality packing tape.  If you plan to move furniture into your storage space, you can protect it by shrink wrapping legs and placing a sheet or blanket over it.

Organize Your Storage Unit

It is a good idea to come up with a system to organize your storge space.  This will make it easier to access items you may need at a later date.  Place items you know you will not need towards the back of the unit.

Tips for Storing Your Jet Ski

Tips for Storing Your Jet Ski

Part of the coastal South Carolina lifestyle includes lots of fun in the sun!  We often see a good number of jet skis in our Hanahan and Summerville vehicle storage facilities. If you want to preserve the integrity of your jet ski while it is in vehicle storage, there are a few steps you should consider taking. 

Fill the Gas Tank and Use a Fuel Stabilizer

You should fill the gas tank before placing your jet ski in vehicle storage. This prevents moisture from developing inside your gas tank.  You should also consider using a fuel stabilizer if the watercraft is not going to be used in the near future and you expect it to remain parked for an extended period of time.

Disconnect or Remove Battery

If you do not use your jet ski on a regular basis, you can preserve the life of your battery by disconnecting or removing it.

Invest in a Quality Cover

When you put your jet ski in outdoor vehicle storage, it is a good idea to invest in a durable cover to keep it protected from continuous UV rays, dirt, debris, etc.

Readying Your RV for Storage

Readying Your RV for Storage

We are continuing or series on readying your RV for storage.  Our previous article discussed some tips to consider as you move your motorhome to RV storage. We covered some ways to prepare the inside of your RV, the fact that you should top off your gas tank, and also the importance of checking for leaks and covering holes.  Today, we will look at three more aspects to consider when placing your motorhome in a vehicle storage space. 

Prepare the Exterior

Preparing the exterior of your motorhome before you place it in vehicle storage will help preserve the appearance and integrity of the RV.  Check to make sure all slides are functioning properly and pull them in.  Spray down and/or wash the RV. Consider waxing to protect the exterior from rust and UV light.

Use Chock Blocks

It is not a good idea to set the parking brake for a long period of time as this can cause damage to the brake pads. When parking your motorhome in RV storage, you should always use chock blocks behind the tires to keep the vehicle from moving. 

Cover Tires

RV tires are very expensive. One of the best ways to protect them from UV damage is to purchase covers for them.  This is especially important if you plan to have your RV remain in vehicle storage for long periods of time.

Getting Your RV Ready for Storage

Getting Your RV Ready for Storage

in

Motorhomes have become a popular form of recreation over the past several years.  However, most homeowners associations do not allow RV storage and/or do not have a designated vehicle storage area for boats, RVs and other equipment.  If you find yourself having a difficult time locating a safe place for your motorhome, keep in mind that Climate Masters Indoor Storage has large, spacious vehicle storage/RV storage/auto storage at our Hanahan and Summerville locations.  If you plan to place your motorhome in RV storage, there are some preparation items to consider. Our next series of articles will cover tips on getting your RV ready for storage.

Prepare the Inside

Before placing your motorhome in a vehicle storage space, you should thoroughly clean the inside.  Be sure the refrigerator and freezer are empty and leave the doors open to avoid musty odors.  Check all drawers and cabinets.  Leave cabinet doors open.  Vacuum and/or sweep all floors.  Clean bathrooms and the kitchen.  Change linens. Close all blinds. Performing these tasks not only helps keep your RV in tip top shape, but ensures it is ready for your next trip.

Top Off Your Gas Tank

If you plan to move your motorhome to RV storage and have it sit for long periods of time, be sure to top off your gas tank to prevent condensation from forming in your fuel lines.

Check for Leaks and Cover Holes

Before leaving your unit in RV storage, do a quick check to make sure there are no leaks in the roof. Vents and exhaust pipes can be covered to prevent bugs and small animals from nesting.

Update Your Inventory List

Since you will likely be purging some items and possibly bringing additional items to your storage space, it would be a good idea to review and update your inventory list.  Your inventory list should include all contents you are keeping in your indoor storage space as well as their location. This not only keeps you organized but helps ensure you can easily access something should you need it.

Assess Your Current Needs

You should assess your storage needs at least once a year.
