How Storage Units Can Help Your Hobbies


We've discussed using a storage unit to house collectibles and sporting equipment, and a running theme is beginning to form. Using a storage unit to house your hobby and professional equipment can save you space at home, and will also give you a central location to return to when you need to do things.

I don't just mean a storage unit can house precious statues, war medals, or skiing equipment. A storage unit can be handy for all sorts of hobbies and interests. Film and drama students might find a storage unit useful to keep costumes, set pieces, camera equipment and lighting technology. A storage unit could be shared between a number of students, who could access the storage unit freely whenever they have need of it.

Maybe you're a teacher who frequently decorates their classroom, maybe you're a Halloween enthusiast who keeps a lot of fancy dress outfits hidden in their closet. Maybe you want to keep the Lego and matchbox cars and dollhouses your children seem to have grown out of, just in case. A storage unit is the perfect opportunity to clear these things from your home, to give you and your family more space. And when they're kept in a storage unit, you'll know exactly where everything is, so you can easily find them again when you need.

Hiring a storage unit can help to keep your hobbies under control, and give you home a bit more space. Start looking into a storage unit today.

Using Self-storage for Seasonal Gear


Winter has nearly hit us ('Winter is coming'), and even though it's still sweltering hot in Melbourne this week, it's probably time to think about changing over for the new season. There are actually a variety of ways self-storage can make the changing seasons much easier to deal with.

The end of summer means the end of beach trips, surfing holidays, singlets, and thongs. Instead of leaving all of these things in your home, why not look into self-storage? Rather than keeping the short shorts and the surf boards sitting at home clogging up your self-storage space, when instead they could spend winter in a self-storage unit, and your home could have so much more space. Come summer time, winter clothes, ugg boots, snow gear and heating equipment can be kept in self-storage throughout the season, and claim its rightful place in your living area when winter comes around again.

Keeping your seasonal belongings in a self-storage unit will help give your home space, give you more room for all your winter or summer things, and will be easy to find if you decide to take a tropical holiday in mid-July, or a winter getaway in December. Seasonal clothes can be kept in wardrobe boxes in self-storage - easy enough to dig through should you need them again while they're in self-storage. Beach gear can be stored and kept safe in self-storage while skiis and snowboards take up space in the cupboards at home, and vice versa. Self-storage is the perfect solution to clear out your seasonal belongings and welcome in the new season.
