Using self storage for every season

Self storage is the gift that keeps on giving. It provides a safe and secure space to store household belongings during a move or keep stock while growing your business. Whether you’re renovating your home, decluttering or downsizing your space, self storage can make the process easier. Self storage can be used throughout the year, serving a unique purpose throughout spring, summer, autumn and winter – and here’s how!

Spring

Self storage is the perfect way to declutter your home while spring cleaning. When you have too many belongings, it can be difficult to know where to start. A self storage unit provides a safe and secure space to store your excess belongings until you know what to do with them.

You can easily access your belongings when you need them, and you’ll have plenty of space to store everything until you’re ready to get rid of it. Consider storing bulky coats, Christmas decorations, snow gear and winter equipment, making space for the warmer weather.

Summer

There’s a definite lifestyle shift during summer. The warmer days encourage people to spend more time outdoors, playing sports and entertaining guests.

Self storage is an affordable way to store any excess furniture such as couches and tables that were previously used to create a cosy winter space. Removing this furniture opens up living space in your home and garden for summer activities like barbecues and outdoor gatherings with friends.

Autumn

As the temperature starts to drop, you may want to start packing away your summer sports equipment and seasonal gear. Self storage serves as an extension of the home, with a range of unit sizes to keep cricket gear, watersports equipment and patio furniture.

Winter

A self storage unit is a great place to store holiday decorations, costumes and other festive items. You’ll also have plenty of space to store all your seasonal gear, and you can access it whenever you need it.

These are just a few practical ways that self storage can offer value throughout the year. At Wigwam Self Storage, we offer a choice of different storage unit sizes at both our Chipping Norton storage facility and our Bromsgrove storage facility, ranging from 16 sq ft to 250 sq ft to keep your belongings safe in every season.

Whether you want to store your snow boots in spring or your cricket gear in winter, Wigwam Self Storage is the way! Call us at 01608 656 300 and chat with our friendly team.

I left a well-known storage unit for Wigwam, mainly because of cost, wigwam are more reasonable, the unit is clean and is entry availablity is upto 10pm. You work off an app that allows entry not only to the building also to your rented unit. It is safe, No fear of loosing keys. The staff very helpful. Highly recommended.

Lenny was great at helping me get my storage over the phone, and was engaging and fun. I also received some help from a nice guy at the location; I think his name is Adam, a very lovely fellow. Friendly staff they've got. First time using a storage unit, and it was seamless to set up and easy to use the app without any confusion. The price was also really affordable, beyond what I assumed it would be, and I still got a 50% discount for the first 8 weeks. I highly recommend Wigwam.

Excellent Service & product !
Very easy access with parking right outside the door.
Plenty of trolleys, so no need for muscles ! It maybe a little more expensive than some others, BUT the cleanliness & ease of use perfect.
The staff are VERY patient, explaining how each unit works.
It is great to know the manned office hours & how to make contact if not.
Plenty of accessible hours too.
Ps.... they do like a biscuit or 2 in the office I hear !
