Let’s face it — your garage wasn’t meant to be a catch-all for everything you’ve ever owned. But as winter ends and spring begins, it’s the perfect time to reclaim that space.
At Storage HQ in Duncan, BC, we see a big shift in what people store during springtime. This season is all about swapping out winter gear and making room for what really matters at home — whether that’s your tools, your projects, or your parking spot.
Here are some of the most common (and smart) things to store in spring — and why it makes your life easier.
1. Bikes (and All the Extras That Come With Them)
Kids’ bikes, mountain bikes, helmets, racks, inflators — they all pile up fast. If you’re not riding every day, keeping them in a storage unit protects them from damage and gives you back your floor space.
Bonus: Our drive-up units make grabbing them on the weekend easy.
2. Small Boats, Kayaks & Paddleboards
Got gear for the water? Unless you’re docked daily, these items take up massive room in your garage or yard. Store them safely until you’re ready to hit the water.
We even have outdoor boat parking if you’ve got something bigger to store.
3. Lawn Tools and Landscaping Equipment
Spring is yardwork season — but that doesn’t mean your mower, trimmer, leaf blower, and five-year-old rake collection have to live in your garage forever. Once you’re done with them for the weekend, stashing them away in a unit keeps things neat and weather-protected.
4. Winter Equipment That’s Still Lurkin
It’s time to store those snow shovels, snowboards, space heaters, and holiday decorations. Don’t let them clutter your shed or entryway — box them up and keep them out of sight until next season.
5. Project Overflow & “Maybe Later” Items
We all have that corner filled with stuff we’ll “get to later” — DIY tools, parts, supplies, and half-finished hobbies. Move them out of the house and into a unit so they’re safe and ready when the time comes (without driving your family nuts in the meantime).
