Using Self-Storage During the Winter

Winter has arrived in South Africa, and it's expected to be one of the coldest in many years. Think about how you can safeguard your belongings from the cold weather if you are considering storing your goods and belongings in a self-storage facility. There are a few safety precautions to take while storing belongings in storage during the winter.

Use the following five winter storage suggestions as a guide.

PREPARE ALL ITEMS FOR STORAGE

Each item in your storage unit will need a different level of preparation depending on what you're keeping there. The door should be left open so that fresh air may circulate around the equipment. Your valuables will be safe if you take the time to properly prepare them for storage.

FORM A WALL

Utilise items that are not temperature sensitive to build a wall around your storage unit in order to protect more delicate goods from the destructive effects of the cold. Put the boxes, furniture, and other items you want to keep warm on the inside of the wall. It's a good idea to keep more delicate goods toward the centre of your storage container to avoid dramatic temperature changes.

ENSURE CLEANLINESS

Before storing anything in a storage facility, it is crucial to verify that all goods are clean. The formation of mould, mildew, or rust might occur if you store items that are not clean.

WHAT NOT TO STORE

During the winter, typical storage units should never be used to keep electronic equipment, leather or wood furniture, or battery-operated things.

CLIMATE-CONTROLLED STORAGE UNITS

It is better to keep things in a climate-controlled storage unit throughout the winter months. Storing your belongings in a climate-controlled storage facility will keep them safe from the cold of winter and the heat of summer.
