The leaves are starting to fall. Autumn is on the way.
Unless you’re one of those lucky people with a giant walk in closet and no storage restraints, it may be time to switch out your summer wardrobe, for the winter one.
If you are currently storing all of your clothes for the year in your wardrobe, you may want to try storing your summer clothes somewhere else. You will find it much easier to access what you need with the lack of clutter in a fully stuffed cupboard.
We even know a few customers in both Auckland and Wellington who have rented one of our small self storage units specifically for their seasonal wardrobes.

Time to put the BBQ in storage
We all want to get as many weekend BBQ’s in as possible but let’s be honest…as we head into winter it is unlikely that it will be getting much use. The same goes for your outdoor furniture. Don’t let it all sit growing mold outside. You’ll want to find a dry indoor space either in your basement or garage.
If you don’t have spare space around your house consider renting a storage unit for a few months. The investment will easily outweigh having to try and salvage, or even repurchase everything next summer.
As autumn progresses, people often begin preparing for winter by decluttering and organizing their homes. Self-storage can be a valuable resource for storing items that are not needed during the colder months, allowing homeowners to create more space and better organize their living areas for the winter season.
A small to medium sized storage unit is just what you need.
Convenient locations in Auckland and Wellington. We have a location on the North Shore.

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
