End of Summer Self Storage

It’s that time of year again. Mid-summer is coming to an end, back to school is in full swing. Parents wait in anticipation to regain their days again. You’ve gardened, dug and played in the sun, but now it’s time to start to thinking about putting those toys and tools away. It’s never too late to start thinking about where you want to store these things. Contain Your Stuff Nanaimo might just be your best choice.

Summer Storage Checklist

Tools and Equipment

Rakes, shovels, mowers and anything else that you used during the spring and summer months has no place in the winter weather we get in Nanaimo. Maybe keep a shovel or two for the snow, but the rest can be stored away until next year. Before you store these items, be sure to wash them down with a hose, get rid of the dirt and  let them dry in the sun for a day or two.

Seeds and Soil

This stuff can sometimes stay outside. But in Nanaimo the weather will surely freeze it solid. It’s a better idea to place it into an airtight container and get it into storage. Seeds are always better kept inside during the winter, as they can be easily ruined by cold weather and extreme temperature changes.

Patio Furniture

Chances are you will not use that hammock or patio set in November. These items can easily be ruined by the snow and rain, discoloration is a common thing. Protect your investment in these items and pack them away accordingly. But give them a thorough clean beforehand.
