Break out the holiday recipes because cold weather is on its way! As the year comes to a close, days get shorter and cooler, which can pose challenges for those who are moving. Moving is already a time-consuming and expensive process, but cold weather can make it even more difficult. But, with some friendly tips and advantages offered by portable storage containers, you can make the transition easier. Let’s move!

Best Tips for End of Fall and Winter Moving

Tip #1: Layers!

You’ll need to start dressing in layers when the weather gets cold. It’s also important to be prepared for wetter days when it might rain or snow. Waterproof clothing, coats, hats, and boots will come in handy. In the Southern regions, this is especially true because rainfall is more common during those seasons.

Tip #2: UNITS containers are weather-proof!

Protection from the elements is essential when moving your belongings. This is especially the case when pulling items out of your home into a portable storage container. Waterproof mats and wraps will help to keep dirt, mud, and water contained. When you’re finished wrapping your items, place them in a weatherproof UNITS container for maximum protection against the elements.

Tip #3: Take advantage of portable storage containers

You don’t have to deal with the Winter move on your own. Portable storage containers provide a useful resource for anyone moving. portable containers are extra storage spaces that transport inventory to different locations in their service area. They’re great in a pinch, such as a scenario where you lack enough space for furniture, don’t have a moving truck, or want to cut down on moving time in general.

Portable containers are easier to plan with because they save on time and gas and are weather resistant as well.

Tip #4: Prepare well in advance

Anticipate planning your move several months in advance if you can, as bad weather and other unforeseen obstacles are more likely to present themselves. For instance, are there road hazards caused by cold temperatures or rain? What will be hardest to move in these conditions? Move the hard items first.

Tip #5: Take advantage of seasonal days and discounts

Most tend to move on sunnier days because it is easier to sell a home in warmer climates. For that reason, it’s possible you could nab discounts on trucks, renting supplies in the winter. Check around to see if any discounts are offered around the Winter season. If nothing else, you still have portable containers to take advantage of!

We know that moving during the winter can be a challenge, but with our tips, you can make it work. Portable storage is a great option for those who are looking to move during this time. Additionally, considering renting portable storage will give you the best results possible.
