Do you love sports? Do you find yourself having to carry gear back and forth only then to find a location in your home to store the gear until your next outing?

A Few Tips for Storing Athletic Equipment

For those who are going to store their athletic equipment in our Lakewood Self Storage facility, there are a few tips to help you make the most of this choice.

1. Be sure that you are cleaning your gear before putting this into storage. For example, those who store their surf boards will want to ensure that the sand and water is no longer on these when they place them into the storage unit. This is especially true if you will be storing this gear for a few months as you may not be able to surf until that time.
2. If you are storing golf clubs, consider covering these before you walk away. Even if you are going to be playing the next weekend, dust can settle onto these clubs within a few days.
3. Make sure that you are placing similar sport items together to easily find these later. Many customers use clear tote boxes for one sport, such as their tennis rackets and balls. Then use other boxes for the items that are related to the other sports they are playing. Organization is always key when packing items into a self storage unit.
4. Always have a box for items that you are storing. Especially if you are storing balls for the various sports you play. No one wants to open their storage unit to find a bunch of balls rolling every which way…it will increase the time that you take to look for what you need rather than being outdoors and playing what you want.

Concerns about Storing Athletic Gear

Many first-time customers come to us with a few concerns about storing their equipment, which is completely understandable. For example:

• What if there is a ton of equipment that you need to store? We offer help with that! We have a free truck (with driver) to use and boxes for sale that can help to organize those items that you are storing. No one should have to take three to four days to load their items in their personal car and make numerous trips. We want to make this easier for you!
• Can bulky items be stored? For example, surfboards, kayaks, rafts? Yes! Our storage facilities were designed for you! You can choose the size that you are going to need to easily fit and organize all your sporting equipment.
• Is it going to take forever to get the items you want out of storage? As far as how long it will take you to remove your athletic gear from storage to play is up to you. For those who keep their unit organized, it often just takes minutes to stop at the facility, pick up what you need and be on your way. There is no long complicated process to pick up an item at our facility.

If you are an avid athlete, then you know just how much room that the equipment you use can take up. It is not uncommon for people to have to pick and choose what their favorite sport is in order to have room for their equipment. However, this can be a thing of the past. Imagine being able to do any outdoor activity you want? It can be reality if you are storing your items in our Lakewood Self Storage units. No more mess, only fun is to be found with this option!
