Access 17 Self Storage | Renfrew, Ontario

April in the Ottawa Valley is that in-between stretch where winter is wrapping up and summer is not quite here yet. It is the perfect time to swap out your seasonal gear. Snowblowers, ice fishing equipment, ski boots, and winter tires can all come out of the garage to make room for bikes, kayaks, camping gear, and lawn care tools.

The Seasonal Swap

Most garages and sheds in the Renfrew area are doing double duty as storage rooms, workshops, and parking spots all at once. A self-storage unit takes the pressure off by giving your winter gear a dedicated home for the warmer months. That means your garage goes back to being a garage, and you are not tripping over snowshoes in July.

How to Store Winter Gear Properly

Before putting winter items away, take a few minutes to prep them. Clean and dry everything thoroughly to prevent mildew. Drain fuel from snowblowers and other gas-powered equipment, or add fuel stabilizer. Store winter tires flat or in tire bags to protect them from dust and sunlight. These small steps keep your gear in good condition so it is ready to go when the cold returns.

Keep Summer Gear Accessible

If your summer equipment has been buried in the back of a shed all winter, now is the time to pull it out and check it over. Inspect bikes, boats, and camping gear for any wear or damage. Anything that needs repair is easier to deal with now than on the first warm weekend when everyone else has the same idea.
