If you live in Orlando and love the water, having a boat is almost a necessity. Owning a boat allows you to go fishing, take your loved ones out for some fresh ocean air, or just soak up some of the sun’s magnificent rays. However, there is no doubt that one complication of having a boat is where you are going to keep it. Boat storage in Orlando doesn’t have to be a headache, though. There are a few things many boat owners sometimes don’t consider when they turn to boat storage with US Storage Centers. Here are three things that you didn’t know about storing your boat in Orlando. Investing in a Boat Tarp Whether you are purchasing a boat storage area that is covered or uncovered, investing in a boat tarp that will cover your boat in its entirety is a must. A great cover offers a number of benefits, including preventing the boat from several environmental factors Some of these include: flooding in the event of rain; keeping leaves, debris, and dirt from entering your boat and clogging scuppers; protecting the deck of your boat from any early deterioration; preventing against rust and sun damage; and overall ensuring that your boat looks great and that longevity is maintained for as long as possible. We strongly encourage boat covers, even if you are renting a totally concealed and covered unit because they ensure the integrity of your boat is maintained, and it prevents potential and unforeseen damage. Easy Access and Wide Turning As you’re searching for a place to park your boat, backing it up into a difficult-to-navigate corner somewhere may do the trick, but is it something you want to deal with every time you want to take your boat out? Probably not. Instead, easy access to your boat and the ability to make wide turns and otherwise easily maneuver your boat and the vehicle you’re using to tow can make a world of difference and provide peace of mind. The last thing you want to have to worry about is damaging your boat, or liability for damaging someone else’s property! Get Even More Benefits While renting a parking unit is certainly an option, those boat owners who have other storage needs should consider renting a totally concealed unit. These units allow for the storage of other personal items, boating-related and otherwise, without the need to rent an entirely separate unit (which costs more and isn’t nearly as time-efficient). If you know that you have other items that you would like to keep in storage, contact our professionals to discuss your storage options today.
