From weekend warriors to downsizing families, here’s how people in Duncan and across North Cowichan use self-storage to make summer simpler.
Summer Brings More Than Just Sunshine
While Vancouver Island summers are famous for their beauty, they also come with seasonal chaos — travel, gear clutter, home projects, and visiting relatives. And that’s exactly why so many locals rely on self-storage in the warmer months.
Here are just a few ways our Duncan neighbors are using extra space to stay organized and stress-free.
1. Storing Outdoor Gear and Equipment
Camping gear. Paddleboards. Bikes. Fishing setups. They all take up valuable garage or closet space — and they’re only used a few months of the year.
Storing your summer gear in a unit means:
- Easier access when you need it
- Cleaner home and garage
- Peace of mind with secure, 24/7 access
2. Making Room for Visiting Family
Summer is prime season for out-of-town guests. But where do you put everything when your guest room becomes a second bedroom?
Many locals use short-term storage to tuck away:
- Home office desks
- Extra boxes and bins
- Seasonal furniture or bulky decor
It’s an easy, low-commitment way to make space — and make guests feel at home.
3. Renovation and Decluttering Projects
Summer is also the season for home improvement. Whether you’re remodeling the kitchen or finally tackling that garage clean-out, storage makes life easier during transitions.
You can:
- Keep tools and furniture safe during construction
- Store donation items or keep-sakes until fall
- Stay organized without living in a mess
4. Storing RVs and Boats Between Trips
Storage HQ also offers outdoor RV and boat storage — perfect for locals who hit the road or water but don’t have space at home.

- Easy-access stalls
- Month-to-month flexibility
- Peace of mind while your vehicle’s not in use
