You could haul everything you need to winter in North Miami Beach Florida, but that’s a hassle. Why not use self storage to conveniently keep everything you need at your vacation destination? Sporting Goods Depending on your sport of choice, it might be as simple as packing your hiking shoes before you leave. For others, there is a little more to consider - transporting your golf clubs back and forth each year can easily lead to damaging them beyond repair! Just make sure you follow this helpful article on storing golf clubs, and you won’t have a problem. When you consider a personal watercraft like a Jet Ski or SeaDoo, storage is an excellent choice to keep it clean and in good condition while you’re back home. Just make sure to clean your stuff before storing it - anything disgusting on there will be ten times worse when you come back next year! Pet Supplies All pet owners know the difficulty of travelling with their animals, especially when your pet supplies take up too much space. Rover or Miss Kittington may have a favorite toy that you want to have on the road to keep him calm, but that bed, food bowls, and bag of toys can be kept in a storage unit while you’re gone. It may not seem like much, but when you’re packing up and heading south for the winter, every little bit helps. Important Documents When you leave your home for the winter, you’ll want to make sure you have access to nearly all of the documents you would need back home. You probably won’t need tax records from 5 years ago, but having duplicate copies of things like your insurance policies and bank information could be crucial to have available on a short notice. Keeping a small filing cabinet with copies can alleviate the kind of headaches you don’t want while vacationing, just make sure you take extra precautions if you’re storing sensitive information. Clothing Once the weather warms up, it’s time to transition your closet from the heavy, bulky items that kept you cozy in the winter to something a little more comfortable. If you’re the kind of person who likes to have a lot of outfit options, or if you just don’t want to carry everything with you on the road, self storage can be a great closet for your summer clothes. Ask your manager about shelving to really give your storage unit that walk-in closet feel. Small Appliances Most rental properties come with basic appliances, so you don’t need to worry about a refrigerator or dishwasher. Little details like having your favorite waffle maker or a nicer stereo will make your time down south feel a lot more like home, and practically speaking it could make sense to have a backup laptop or e-reader in your storage unit so you don’t risk damaging or losing your primary device. Don’t forget your grill - if you’re moving south for the weather, why not enjoy it even while you cook! Make sure to follow some simple precautions before locking up when you leave. Long Term Storage Considerations Self storage in North Miami Beach is a convenient alternative to moving your summer belongings every year. Just be sure you’re following the rules in your rental agreement regarding what is and is not OK to store. Talk with your manager and ask if you have the slightest doubt. They will be able to help you properly store just about anything and make sure that it is in the same condition as when you left it.
