Self-storage is helpful all year round. It allows us to make space during renovations and redecorations, store bulky and expensive items, and shield outdoor belongings from the elements. But is it more useful during the colder months, when autumn storms and winter frosts can make protecting your possessions a necessity?
Here, we’ll explore the benefits of self-storage during autumn and winter, from protecting your garden furniture to making space for Christmas guests – and show how Kangaroo Self Storage can help you stay organised through the season.
In short, it depends on the items and where they’re stored when not in self-storage. If you have belongings, such as outdoor furniture, which require protection from the elements during the brutal British wintertime, then yes, their storage is more important than during summer.
Additionally, this time of year is often when home renovations take place, whether in time for Christmas or to make the most of the bad weather outside, and many choose to use self-storage during the colder months.
You might find that you need self-storage all year round, whether for storing surplus stock, protecting your vehicles, or keeping confidential documents. At Kangaroo, we offer both short- and long-term rental agreements, making storage work for you whether you’re here for just a few weeks or over a year.

Ensuring you’ve prepared your home for winter before the cold weather hits is crucial. Here’s a seasonal checklist and how self-storage can help:
Christmas is undoubtedly the most wonderful time of the year, but it can also be a period of chaos and clutter if you’re not prepared.
Whether it’s making room for a new home office setup, decluttering before the arrival of guests, or embarking on that major remodelling project, our self-storage facilities can accommodate your possessions and ensure their safety.

If you enjoy spending time in the garden, you probably have all the furniture and outdoor items to make your garden your paradise. However, many of these items cannot handle the rainy autumn or frosty winter and will rust, rot, or grow mould in cold, wet weather.
Self-storage is the answer! Don’t clutter your garage with mountains of outdoor chairs, tables, and parasols; let us take them off your hands and protect them from the elements until the sun shines again.
