news

Duncan, BC’s rainy winters are as iconic as its stunning landscapes, but they can take a toll on your recreational equipment. Whether it’s your RV, boat, or outdoor gear, winter storage is key to keeping your investments safe and ready for spring adventures. Here’s why winter is the ideal time to store your equipment and how Storage HQ can help.

1. Protect Your Equipment from Harsh Weather

Rain, wind, and fluctuating temperatures can wreak havoc on recreational equipment if left exposed:

RVs and Boats: Prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to rust, mildew, and other costly damage.

Outdoor Gear: Items like kayaks, paddleboards, and bikes can suffer wear from rain and debris.

Solution: By storing your equipment in a secure, weather-resistant facility like Storage HQ, you can avoid damage and extend the life of your gear.

2. Free Up Space at Home

Winter storage isn’t just about protection—it’s also about convenience:

Reclaim Your Driveway or Yard: Storing your RV or boat offsite frees up space at home for everyday use.

Organize Your Gear: Keep seasonal items neatly stored and out of the way until you need them.

Pro Tip: With your equipment safely stored, you’ll have more room to tackle winter projects or host gatherings without the clutter.

3. Stay Ready for Spring Adventures

Storing your recreational equipment doesn’t mean ignoring it until spring. By taking a few simple steps before storing, you’ll ensure everything is ready to go when the sunshine returns:

RVs: Drain water systems, clean thoroughly, and check tires and batteries before storage.

Boats: Clean and dry the hull, remove electronics, and apply a protective cover.
