Seasonal items occupy a considerable portion of your real estate, particularly when not in use. Holiday decorations, winter clothes, summer gear, and sporting equipment mount up quickly. This way, you can keep your home clean and organized throughout the year, instead of shoving everything into closets, basements, or garages. 

A storage unit makes it simple to swap things in and out with the seasons. For residents of Sacramento or anyone nearby, A2B Moving and Storage is there to pack and securely store all the items away.

Dispose And Declutter Before Storing

Weigh everything you have and what you use before packing your seasonal items into storage. Get rid of or donate anything you no longer use. This step also simplifies storage and saves on space. When you organize your items, categorize them, like winter coats, holiday lights, summer chairs, or Halloween costumes. It helps a lot to label boxes by season when you return months later and need to find something quickly.

Whether you require assistance with packing your seasonal items or organizing them, we at A2B Moving and Storage can make the process seamless and stress-free. Simply contact us and we will coordinate packing or storage assistance.

Pack Properly to Keep Your Items Safe

When you want your seasonal items to be in good shape, packing properly is important. Use strong boxes and quality tape. Use bubble wrap or packing paper to wrap fragile decorations. Place heavy items down low and reduce weight above. For clothing, try vacuum-sealed bags to save space and keep dust out. If you are storing outdoor gear or tools, give them a good cleaning before packing them away to prevent rust or odor buildup.

If you would like to save time while making sure your belongings remain covered, we provide professional packing services as well as a place to store them. A2B Moving and Storage is here to begin the process.

Choose the Right Size and Type of Storage Unit

Not every storage unit is the same size. A 5×5 unit could work for a handful of boxes full of decorations or clothing. If you’re hoping to store some patio furniture, holiday trees, or bulky sports equipment, it’s safe to say you’ll want a 10×10 or bigger. Climate-controlled units are ideal for sticky or sensitive items such as candles, electronics, or clothing because they protect them from extreme heat or cold.

Sacramento 5×5 storage units typically cost between $50 and $75 a month. A 10×10 unit generally costs between $100 and $150 but can vary by region and details such as climate control or 24-hour access. A2B Moving and Storage has a team that can help you determine the right unit based on what it is you’re storing and your budget. You’re welcome to reach out to us for recommendations.

Plan Your Items Around the Season

When your items are in storage, rotate them as necessary. When winter is over, retrieve your summer clothes and pack away your heavy coats and snow boots. As fall approaches, start to get out your Halloween and holiday decorations. It’s bang for your buck because having a system saves you time — and prevents you from having to dig through boxes.

If you prefer, we also have moving services for multiple trips. Tell us what you need, and we’ll deliver the right things to your door.

Conclusion

Storing your seasonal items should not be overwhelming. With adequate planning, you can keep your home organized and free of clutter all through the year. Sort stuff, pack well, pick the right unit, and rotate with the seasons.
