Top 3 Benefits of Using TriLink Storage During the Summer
As summer arrives in Ohio and North Carolina, many of us look to free up space at home by storing winter clothes, seasonal gear, or extra furniture. Items like coats, winter weather gear, heavier blankets, draperies, and seasonal décor often need storage during the warmer months. According to a SpareFoot report, 65% of self-storage users report higher usage in summer compared to winter, driven by moving and seasonal storage needs.
Nearly everyone can benefit from summer self-storage at TriLink Storage. Here are three key reasons why our storage solutions might be perfect for you.
#1 – Safe Storage for Winter Clothes and Bedding
Fashion and interior designers agree that vacuum storage bags are not ideal for long-term fabric storage. While heavy plastic protects materials from external hazards, compression can damage certain fabrics over time.
Commonly stored materials that may be harmed by vacuum bags include:
- Cashmere sweaters
- Leather jackets, coats, and gloves
- Wool, including synthetic wool blends
- Synthetic blends containing natural fibers
At TriLink Storage, you can avoid compressing delicate fabrics and store items properly. Our expert team will help you find the right storage solution for your needs.
Top Tips for Storing Winter Clothing and Bedding
To protect your winter clothing and bedding during summer storage, follow these best practices:
- Store clothing in sealed plastic zipper bags instead of boxes.
- Store pillows and larger bedding in sealed tote boxes or crates.
- Create ventilation: Use pallets for airflow beneath items and organize to allow air circulation. Avoid overpacking.
#2 – Seasonal Storage for Snow Gear and Outdoor Equipment
Many items are only needed during late fall and winter. Without a shed or garage, seasonal self-storage keeps them out of your way. A Self Storage Association study found that 30% of storage users store seasonal equipment like snow gear in summer.
Common seasonal items for storage include:
- Skis and ski poles
- Snowboards
- Helmets
- Snowblowers
- Sleds
- Ski boots
- Shovels
- Rakes
Year-round storage units let you swap winter items for summer tools like lawnmowers, weed eaters, and gardening equipment.
#3 – Temporary Storage for Moving Season
Summer is peak moving season, with many relocating to align with school schedules or lease endings. A Self Storage Association report notes that 60% of self-storage rentals occur between May and September. Self-storage is ideal for managing transitions, such as when there’s a gap between selling a home and moving into a new one.
