It is almost time for the seasons to transition from summer into autumn. This means that winter is on its way, and you need to start preparing your backyard. You know have to make an effort to put away all your favorite summer gear, and for garden lovers, it means protecting your garden and accessories from the harsh winter conditions. In this article, we look at the role storage plays in preparing your outside spaces for winter.
If you have a garage at home, then this is the ideal space to store your summer belongings until the season rolls around again. To prepare, set aside some time to clean out the garage and organize the existing items to make space for your summer equipment. Space permitting, you can even store your gardening supplies in the garage.
To make the most out of garage space, you can look at making some adjustments, like adding shelving and vertical cubbies to the walls for extra storage space. If you want to, you can quickly and easily rent a portable storage container from a moving company, to keep some of your unused garage items, in order to make more space.
If you don’t have additional garage space, you can invest in a wooden shed for storing your belongings. There are sheds that are specifically designed for bikes, wood, and tools. A general shed can hold all these items and more. You can customize the inside of the shed with shelving and hooks to maximize the space you have. To protect the contents of the shed during the winter months, you can add a vapor barrier underneath the shed to prevent moisture from seeping in potentially damaging items in storage.
There are low-maintenance plastic sheds that are created with shelves that can be kept inside your garage and shed to help organize your items. You can keep garden-specific items in these sheds so that they don’t get mixed up or lost between other items in storage.
These sheds are created specifically for storing of summer furniture, gardening equipment, and tools without letting the winter elements affect them. They are also a stylish addition to a home. In summer this can be space can also be used to entertain guests.
If you are looking for a storage unit that is more short-term, then you can hire a portable storage container for the winter period. During the cold season, you can store all your garden equipment, summer gear, and furniture in these units. When summer rolls around, you can remove all your storage from these units. You can have the unit on your property or use their on-site units, depending on your needs.
In addition to the storing of summer gear and gardening accessories, you will need to look for ways to store the plants seedlings you grow ahead of the next season.
These structures are specifically designed as an ideal environment for growing plants away from harsh outdoor conditions. In the winter period, you can mainly grow winter-hardy crops, and you may need to pre-heat the greenhouse yourself, using gas, wood, or by installing a heating system. Greenhouses are mainly made with glass, steel, wood, and plastic materials.
Similar to that of a greenhouse, a potting shed is an ideal space to use for storing your potted plants, empty pots, compost and your gardening tools. These structures are made from timber and have windows to allow in natural sunlight during the winter months.
It is nearing the end of summer, which means that the cold weather will be upon us soon. This sadly means putting away all of the summer gear that you used for the entire season. Another cause for concern is being able to adequately store away your garden tools and essentials as they will not be in use. There are several ways you can store your yard essentials, including making space in your garage, hiring a portable unit, and investing in a shed. These options will keep your items safe and in great condition until next spring.
