Seasonal Storage Tips for Pulaski Locals

Living in Pulaski means adapting to every season. Frozen roads and lake-effect snow to hot, gear-filled summers on the water. That seasonal lifestyle brings a lot of clutter: winter coats, fishing poles, ATVs, snowmobiles, boats, and holiday decorations all take up space when they’re not in use. That’s where Ontario Mini Storage comes in.

With 24-hour access, secure units, and a variety of sizes, we make it easy for Pulaski residents to rotate their gear and keep their homes, garages, and sheds clear year-round. Below, we’ve broken down exactly what to store and when to store it:

• Spring: Store winter gear, snowmobiles, holiday decorations, and space heaters.
• Summer: Store skis, snowblowers, winter clothing, and excess furniture.
• Fall: Store boats, jet skis, camping gear, and lawn equipment.
• Winter: Store bikes, kayaks, garden tools, and fall sports gear.
• Year-round: Rotate out gear as the seasons change to keep your home, garage, or camp organized.

Spring: Time to Store Winter Gear and Reclaim Your Garage

As the snow melts, it’s time to tuck away your cold-weather gear and prep for spring cleaning. What to store:

• Snowmobiles and snowblowers (drain fuel and oil first)
  
• Winter sports gear: skis, snowboards, snowshoes
  
• Space heaters and portable propane tanks
  
• Heavy coats, boots, gloves, and flannel bedding
  
• Holiday decorations and lights

Tips:

Clean and dry items thoroughly before storing to prevent mold or rust. Use sealed bins for fabrics and label everything clearly for easy retrieval in the fall.

Summer: Pack Away the Cold and Make Room to Relax

With warm weather here to stay, shift your focus to summer adventures and yard projects. What to store:

• Winter clothes, coats, and blankets
  
• Snow gear and sleds
  
• Space heaters and portable generators
  
• Extra furniture or boxes from spring cleaning

Tips:

Use vacuum-sealed bags to save space for bulky winter clothes. Store heavier items on the bottom and leave a walkway if you plan to access the unit regularly.

Fall: Prep for Cold Weather by Storing Summer Equipment

As the days get shorter and the lake starts cooling, it’s time to close up summer and gear up for hunting and home projects. What to store:

• Boats, jet skis, and life jackets
  
• Lawn mowers, weed whackers, and gardening tools
  
• Camping gear and tents
  
• Patio furniture and pool floats

Tips:

Winterize your boat or RV before storage. For gear, use bins and shelves to avoid messy piles. Keep small items like stakes and cords together in labeled bags.

Winter: Keep the Yard Clear and Protect Summer Gear

Winter’s back in full swing, and space becomes limited fast. This is a good time to put away items that are collecting snow or in the way. What to store:

• Bicycles and kayaks
  
• Garden tools and lawn equipment
  
• Grills and outdoor furniture
  
• Sports gear from fall (football, baseball, etc.)

Tips:

Elevate items like bikes off the ground to avoid moisture damage. Cover outdoor gear with breathable tarps and use bungee cords to secure anything prone to tipping.
