Summer’s over: where to store your holiday memories?

Summer’s over: where to store your holiday memories?

Items to store

Summer has ended, and it's time to get back to everyday life. But what about all those seasonal items: suitcases, beach gear, garden furniture, travel souvenirs, sports equipment? They’re valuable but bulky. How can you store them without cluttering your home?

Summer things you only use 2 months a year

From June to August, everything comes out: picnic gear, beach toys, hammocks, surfboards, bikes… But come September, they become a nuisance. Cramming them into closets or garages can damage them over time.

Typical summer items to store:

  • Beach gear: parasols, inflatable rings, coolers
  • Camping equipment and picnic supplies
  • Outdoor furniture: folding chairs, loungers
  • Sports gear: surfboards, bikes, skateboards
  • Travel bags, summer clothing
  • Delicate souvenirs or seasonal decorations

3 smart reasons to use a storage unit

  • Free up space at home — clear out your garage or balcony
  • Protect your belongings — dry, clean and secure space
  • Start the school year peacefully — declutter and breathe

How much space do you need?

Most people don’t need much — a 1 to 3 m³ unit is often enough for summer gear. It’s about the size of a few boxes and a bike.
