As the Missouri sun starts to stay out longer and the temperatures climb, Buckner families are trading in their snow shovels for patio furniture and their heavy coats for kayaks. However, this seasonal shift often leads to one big problem: clutter.
If your garage is currently a mix of winter sleds and half-inflated pool floats, it’s time for a summer reset. Here is how to transition your home and why Turning Point Storage in Buckner, MO, is your best summer ally.
The most efficient way to reclaim your garage or basement is to physically move the off-season items out. Heavy winter tires, snowblowers, and bulky space heaters don’t need to take up prime real estate in your home during July.
Pro-Tip: Clean your winter gear before storing it. Dirt and salt from Missouri roads can cause corrosion over time if left on snowblowers or shovels.
Before you hit the water or the trail, give your summer equipment a "health check":
Tents & Sleeping Bags: Air them out before packing them into a storage unit to prevent any musty smells.
Patio Furniture: Wipe down cushions and frames. If you don't have a large shed, a drive-up storage unit is the perfect place to keep your outdoor set protected when you aren't hosting.
Watercraft: Ensure boats and jet skis are dry before placing them in our dedicated boat and RV parking spots.
Missouri summers are famous for humidity. To keep your belongings safe:
Use Plastic Bins: Swap cardboard boxes for airtight plastic bins to protect clothing and documents from moisture.
Leave an Aisle: When packing your unit, leave a small walkway. You’ll thank yourself when you need to grab those Fourth of July decorations in a hurry!
