5 Tips for Fall Storage Units for Students

  1. Choosing the right storage unit size.

Winters in Colorado Springs can get pretty cold. Do you have cold sensitive items that you need to protect from the freezing temperatures?  Climate enhanced units can keep your belonging at a safe temperature to protect them through the cold winter months.

  1. Don’t keep things you don’t need

If you didn’t wear it all summer, then donate it. If it’s furniture that you really aren’t attached to donate it or give it away. Don’t pay more for storing items that you aren’t going to use.

  1. Get Organized

If you don’t have enough room for your fall clothes, you will need to get organized to prepare for your fall and winter wardrobe. Put your summer clothing in boxes or containers and put them in the storage unit. Investing in small storage cubes and closet racks will help you organize things more easily and have extra spall for your fall and winter clothes.

  1. Keep what you need

Sometimes the weather gets warmer for a week or two during the fall. Don’t pack away all of your summer clothing just yet. Keep some t-shirts and shorts on hand to take advantage of the warmer fall weather.
