Seasonal Storage Solutions: What to Store and When

When the seasons change, so do our storage needs. Whether it’s winter coats, summer sports equipment, or festive holiday decorations, knowing what to store and when can help keep your home organised and clutter-free. With Store Smart’s flexible short-term storage options in Cape Town and Johannesburg, managing your seasonal belongings has never been easier.

 Spring and Summer Storage Ideas
- Winter Clothing: As the temperatures rise, thick winter coats, scarves, and boots can take up valuable closet space. Packing these items away in a secure storage unit will free up room for lighter clothing and warm-weather essentials.
- Heaters and Heavy Bedding: Once the winter chill has passed, items like space heaters, electric blankets, and heavy duvets can be stored safely until needed again.
- Holiday Decorations: After the festive season, decorations such as lights, ornaments, and wreaths can be stored until next year. Using clear, labeled bins will make retrieval easy when the holidays come around.

 Autumn and Winter Storage Solutions
- Summer Sports Equipment: Items like bicycles, surfboards, and camping gear are perfect candidates for seasonal storage during the colder months when outdoor activities slow down.
- Outdoor Furniture: Protect your patio furniture from weather damage by storing it in a safe, dry space until spring returns.
- Gardening Tools: Lawnmowers, trimmers, and other gardening tools can be stored during the off-season to keep them in good condition and free up garage space.
