Bulky and seasonal items can clutter your home, making it hard to keep everything organised. With U Can Store’s self-storage solutions, you can maintain a tidy, accessible space. Whether it's extra space storage for large items, home storage solutions for small spaces, or portable storage solutions for temporary needs, we’ll share ideas to help you regain control of your living or work space.

Guitars, blow up swimming pools, beach umbrellas, hiking backpacks, winter boots, sets of skis, even vintage cars––there are few things more frustrating to pack and store than bulky and oddly shaped items that don’t seem to fit anywhere! All homeowners and renters need creative storage solutions for these awkward seasonal items so they can win the battle against a disorganised space. U Can Store offers a wide range of seasonal storage solutions to help you make the most of every nook and cranny, no matter how limited your space may be. In this article, we’ll explore practical tips and creative storage ideas to show how you can maximise your storage space with a U Can Store self-storage unit! 

Get Creative with Hanging Systems

How do you actually store a beach umbrella? It’s tall, takes up lots of room, and is hard to keep in place. By installing versatile hanging systems in a U Can Store unit, you can get creative with your storage ideas for these kinds of items, like skis, hockey sticks, pool noodles, surfboards, beach chairs and more! As these self-storage units  are customisable and you are free to adjust the space as you need, you can freely install things like wall hooks and bungee cords to securely hang items from the ceiling. Using hanging systems not only frees up valuable floor space, but also makes items easy to access whenever you need them!

Custom Shelving for Unique Items

Custom shelving is a game-changer when it comes to finding creative storage solutions for items that don’t naturally fit into boxes or bins. Footballs, rugby balls, tennis balls and similar items are impossible to store without shelving and drawers, and these are easy to securely install in a U Can Store unit. Adjustable shelving and modular units from any hardware store can be custom fit to your exact dimensions, making storage of bulky and seasonal items easy and organised! And what’s better is that with an off-site storage solution, you won’t have these items ruining your decor at home!

Container Solutions for Large Items

So, we’ve got the smaller, oddly shaped items organised. What about bigger items like vehicle accessories, camping gear, and sports equipment? Stackable containers are the ideal creative storage solution! Maximise a U Can Store unit from floor to ceiling with easily accessible, stacked boxes from any hardware store. To maximise this creative storage idea, make sure to:

• Group items into containers that make logical sense together, such as one for all camping gear, and another for all sports balls. 
• Add clear labels and map out the location of items in the unit so you can save time when accessing items. 
• Purchase transparent containers so you can clearly see the location of items inside without having to unpack everything. 
• Use heavier-duty containers or bins for extra large, heavy duty items like car roof racks. 

By following these creative storage ideas, you’ll be able to create a streamlined, organised storage space and transform your home into a clutter-free environment!
