Summer in the Smoky Mountains means more time outdoors, vacations, and activities—but it can also bring extra clutter around the house. Whether you're cleaning out the garage, rotating seasonal items, or trying to create more space for guests, a mini storage unit can help simplify your summer.

1. Store Winter Gear

Bulky winter clothing, boots, snow shovels, and holiday décor take up valuable space during the warm months. Safely pack and store them in a labeled bin until cooler weather returns.

2. Make Room for Summer Toys

Create space at home by storing off-season sports gear, like snowboards, skis, or hunting supplies. This opens up room for bikes, kayaks, fishing gear, and pool toys—everything you need for a fun-filled summer.

3. Vacation-Ready Organization

If you’re planning extended travel, use your storage unit to secure valuables or large items you don’t want sitting at home while you’re away. It’s a great way to keep things safe and out of the way.

4. Declutter Guest Spaces

Expecting friends or family this summer? Clear out guest bedrooms, garages, or patios by storing extra furniture, boxes, or nonessential items. A tidy, welcoming space makes for better hospitality.

5. Protect Outdoor Furniture

Wears Valley weather can be unpredictable. Store patio furniture, grills, and lawn equipment when not in use to prevent sun or storm damage.

6. Temporary Home Projects

Tackling a renovation or home improvement project this summer? Use a unit to temporarily store household items and keep your project area clean and organized.
