PODS® Northeast Wisconsin Storage Experts Share Tips for Storing Seasonal Gear

APPLETON, Wis. - Oct. 4, 2024 - PRLog -- Now that fall is officially here, many residents start thinking about how to store their seasonal gear efficiently. According to the Statista Research Department, almost half of storage users surveyed used storage because they struggle with not having enough space in their homes. Whether it's pool equipment, decorations, camping gear, or patio furniture, properly storing these items will ensure they're in great shape for next year and make room for cozy fall decor. PODS® Northeast Wisconsin offers five essential tips to help residents transition their storage as the seasons change.

Clean before you store – Before packing away your summer items, give them a thorough cleaning. Remove dirt, debris, and moisturize to prevent mold, mildew, and rust from forming during storage.

Use durable storage containers – It's best to use high-quality, weather-resistant containers to protect your items from dust, pests, and the elements. PODS® containers are steel-framed and weather-resistant with impact-resistant wall paneling for extra security and protection.

Disassemble large items – If possible, disassemble bulky items like patio furniture or large pool toys. This will save space and make it easier to store items safely. PODS® containers come in various sizes, so you can find your perfect solution depending on how many items you want to store.

Protect delicate items – Wrap fragile items, such as glass patio table tops or delicate pool accessories, in bubble wrap or moving blankets to prevent damage during storage.

Prioritize accessibility and security – With PODS®, you own the lock and key to your container so you're the only one who has access to your stuff. You can have your container dropped off, load it on your own schedule, and either keep it in your driveway or have a driver pick it up when you're done and take it to a secure PODS® facility.
