Many people who live in and around Memphis engage in hobbies when they are not working. While some hobbies require little to no equipment, others involve lots of “gear,” some of which can be large, bulky, and difficult to store. Many hobbyists simply try and store their equipment in their homes, often leading to a situation in which a garage or basement becomes unusable. Fortunately, storage options exist that can help hobbyists manage their living space while still being able to accumulate and store the equipment they need. While engaging in a hobby on a regular basis can be rewarding, having too much stuff in your home can lead to a diminished quality of life. If you are running out of space in your home or simply feel overwhelmed with your possessions, storage may be a solution for you. What Hobbies May Require Storage Solutions? Some hobbies require equipment that may be difficult to store. In addition, as a hobbyist, it is likely that you will continue to accumulate more and more gear related to your hobby as the years go by. For this reason, if you are having space issues, they are likely to continue and actually get worse. Some of the hobbies that may make self storage a good idea are detailed below. Cycling – If you are a cyclist, you are undoubtedly aware of the fact that bikes take up a lot of room, especially if you live in an apartment without a basement or garage. Leaving your bicycle outside is always risky, regardless of the quality of your lock. In addition, many cyclists have more than one bike and may use one much more regularly than the others. Boating – Boats can often take up as much space as a normal-sized car and are very difficult to store. In addition, boats are susceptible to damage from weather and should be stored in a climate-controlled environment. Storing your boat at our facility will prevent your boat from sitting in your driveway or simply being an eyesore on your property. Camping – If you are an avid camper, you are aware of how much space your camping gear can take up. Not only are there tents and sleeping bags involved with a camping trip, but many people bring air mattresses, chairs, grills, canopies, kitchen supplies, fishing gear, kayaks, canoes, and other items. Car restoration – Restoring old cars is another hobby that can require a lot of physical space. In addition to needing a place to keep the vehicle, restoration projects also often involve tools and taking things apart while working on the car. A storage unit for your restoration project can ensure that it does not take over the space in which you live.
