Summer Projects? Here’s How Duncan Locals Use Storage to Stay Organized
news

From renovations to gardening to side hustles, summer in Cowichan Valley is full of productivity — and self-storage helps keep it all manageable.


Why Summer Is Peak Project Season

The warm weather means it’s finally time for those tasks you’ve been putting off:

  • Clearing out the garage
  • Starting a new home-based business
  • Landscaping or yard upgrades
  • Redecorating or minor renos

But with every project comes stuff — and not always enough room for it at home.


Storage Keeps Projects From Taking Over Your Life

Instead of living around paint cans, tools, or boxes of supplies, Duncan residents use self-storage as a temporary workspace extension.

Here’s how it helps:

  • Store tools and equipment when not in use
  • Keep materials dry and secure between phases
  • Free up garage or basement space while you work
  • Avoid accidental damage or theft at home

Whether you’re working solo or coordinating with contractors, it’s one less thing to worry about.
