Summer is here, that means a lot of heat and sunlight. \u00a0So if you’re in need of some summer storage<\/a>\u00a0to hold your belongings, consider renting a storage unit to protect your belonging\u00a0from the blazing sun and furnace-like temperatures. Here are some ideas for what you may want to keep in summer storage:<\/p>\n Winter Clothes<\/strong> – Some of you are excited that you no longer have to wear those heavy winter coats and scarves, while others may regret that you can no longer make snow angels after each snowstorm. If you’re short on closet space, consider summer storage to hold all of your jackets, gloves, coats, and that cherished scarf collection. \u00a0That way, all of your clothes will be organized in one area for next winter.<\/p>\n Gas Powered Equipment<\/strong> – With 90+ degree temperatures for most of us, I can’t imagine many reasons for\u00a0snow blowers or snowmobiles. \u00a0To store any gas powered equipment you must first drain the gas tank completely and then run the equipment until the engine stops. \u00a0This is important because ethanol in gasoline starts to break down after a few months and can damage your equipment if left idle. \u00a0Also, most self-storage\u00a0locations prohibit any flammable liquids from being held in storage.<\/p>\n Summer Break <\/strong>–\u00a0<\/strong>For all you college students moving out after the end of a school year, you how difficult it is to take all of your belonging back home. \u00a0You can\u00a0look into getting a smaller unit that can hold boxes you don’t need to unpack until next year or get a larger one to store excess furniture. \u00a0If you need any help with moving out, consider Collegeboxes\u00ae<\/a>; they can pack, ship and deliver your belongings to wherever you need it, and even store it until next school year if you wish.<\/p>\n For more tips\u00a0visit\u00a0your go- to\u00a0source\u00a0for college moving<\/a>\u00a0or this Pinterest board<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n What do you store during the summer, and how do you store it? \u00a0Let us know in the comments \u00a0below.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Summer is here, that means a lot of heat and sunlight. \u00a0So if you’re in need of some summer storage\u00a0to hold your belongings, consider renting a storage unit to protect your belonging\u00a0from the blazing sun and furnace-like temperatures.

Snow Gear<\/strong> – I know it’s disappointing, the snow has melted and you can’t\u00a0hit the slopes every weekend. \u00a0On the bright side, you can take hikes up the runs and still catch the same the killer views. \u00a0With all the space that snow gear such as snow shoes, skis and poles, snowboards, helmets, goggles, shovels, and tire chains take up, it’s a good idea to get some summer storage to keep it out of the way and free up space until next winter.<\/p>\n![\"Climate-Controlled](\"https:\/\/movinginsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/climate-controlled-edit-21.jpg\")
