Considering how much you spent on it, you’d probably like to keep your camping gear in like-new shape for as long as possible. Even though you probably only use it a few times per year, this type of gear can easily become damaged or even ruined when stored improperly. On top of that, failing to store it effectively often means having a disorganised mess on your hands – and that makes it incredibly stressful to prepare for an upcoming camping excursion. Rather than store it at home, where you’re apt to cram your camping gear into a random nook or cranny, consider keeping it in Self Storage in Adelaide from Self Storage Australia Holden Hill.

Rent climate-controlled Self Storage in Adelaide

Camping gear typically includes more than just tents and backpacks. These days, it can also include sensitive electronic devices and clever cooking solutions that are often built with fragile materials. It’s crucial to protect these things from the elements as much as possible – including humidity. For this reason, consider renting climate-controlled Self Storage in Adelaide when the times comes. In addition to keeping everything safe from the ravages of heat and moisture, a climate-controlled unit will keep odours at bay so you can enjoy yourself more while camping.

Prepare items for storage

Don’t just bring everything back from a camping trip and dump it in your storage unit. First, clean everything you’ll be keeping in the unit. This is especially important for things like tents, sleeping bags, and air mattresses, as they can harbour odours that can make camping trips truly miserable. Neatly fold fabric materials and store them in separate bags, if possible. Make sure everything is dry before bringing it into the unit, or mould and mildew may develop.

Organise everything

While packing a Self Storage unit with your camping gear, it’s easy to rush and try and get it done as quickly as possible. However, think ahead to the next time you’ll be preparing for a camping trip. Do you want to spend hours sorting through your gear to find what you need? Of course not. You need to be methodical and organised about the storage process. Large items are easy enough to find, but group smaller items together so you don’t have to rummage around too much. Clearly label each carton with detailed information about the contents within so you can pinpoint precisely what you need, when you need it.

Lock it up until the next camping trip

When the off-season arrives, you won’t have to go through the trouble of packing things up and finding room for them at home. Instead, you can just to drop off your items at your unit and make sure everything is cleaned and accounted for. When camping season returns, head back to your Self Storage unit, grab what you need, and hit the road. If you’d like to learn more about Self Storage Australia Holden Hillcontact us today.
