Winter Storage Tips: The Cold, Hard Truth

A row of secure self-storage units during a snowy Alberta winter, perfect for winter storage of seasonal gear.
Best Practices for Winter Self Storage in the Okotoks Area Alright, let's talk about the cold, hard truth of winter storage in these parts. While we all love a sunny, snowy day in the Southern Alberta Foothills, we all know that our winters can be harsh and very, VERY cold, and did we mention windy? Whether you’re storing tools, furniture or seasonal items, it's not just about keeping your stuff safe ...

Storing for Restorers (and Collectors)

Is it Spring Yet? We may be in the depths of winter, but if you’re a classic car enthusiast (like me), you’re already dreaming of spring and your first spin around the block - once the snow and gravel is gone, of course. Until that time, however, you’ve got a shed or garage that’s being used 24/7 to store your classic vehicle. Let’s say you have another project on the go - are you thrilled to push your ride into the snow to free up space to work? I didn’t think so. At Uncle Bob’s Self Storage, we like to think of our facility as a natural extension of your garage; It’s still your space, just out of the way. Although we do not allow automotive repairs or servicing on the premises, we do have bays capable of storing at least two classic cars at a time, and our ceilings are high enough to allow the use of temporary hoists, which can effectively double that number. That’s four cars safe and protected - and out of your hair for the winter! Or, if you’re doing a frame-off restoration, you’re going to need to put the body panels, drivetrain or accessories somewhere out-of-the-way. Instead of stacking them against the wall of your garage, where they can be scratched or dented each time you squeeze past them, try putting these components in storage until you’re ready to take them home for sandblasting, painting or reinstallation! Here are even more reasons why Uncle Bob’s Self Storage is a great solution for storing your classic cars: Security: Uncle Bob’s Self Storage is equipped with security fencing, cameras, alarms, and indoor and outdoor lighting. Access to the bays are restricted to those with the proper clearance, and all visits are logged. You can hibernate soundly knowing that your wheels are well-protected. Out of the Elements: Where indoor home storage can be inconvenient, we all know that outdoor storage can expose your car to rain, snow, hail, UV damage or the occasional bird dropping - even with a proper cover. The same goes for your ...

New Year’s Storage: Declutter Your Home for a Fresh Start

A crowded storage room filled with boxes and bins, demonstrating the need for New Year’s storage organization.
How To Declutter Your Home for the Holidays - and Beyond. New Year’s is a time of reflection, re-assessment, and renewal. It’s also a time of complete and utter chaos: holiday decorations go back into boxes, chinooks leave you hopping between flip flops and toboggans, winter boots and lawn chairs, you find yourself saying ‘I could’ve sworn I put my small suitcase back under the stairs’, and spring will be here before you know it - but not soon enough. In the meantime, there’s a pile of kids’ toys, bulk food and storage boxes you’re constantly tripping over. The recycling bin is overflowing, and every trip down the hallway robs you of a tiny bit of Zen. The cars have been parked on the driveway since September! And, before you know it, you’re so focused on the inconvenience that you’re unable to enjoy the little moments of the here and now. A Clean Space equals a Calm Mind. Reclaim your basement, storage room, pantry, garage and shed - and start the New Year off with a feeling of clarity. Better yet, get started today and enjoy a spacious, clutter-free Christmas! 1. Plan Your New Year a. Inventory Your Items: Make a list of everything you would like to place in storage. A visual inventory is way more accurate than going by memory! A little effort now will save a lot of work (and time) later. b. Organize Accordingly: A snowblower doesn’t typically see a lot of use in July, but a vacuum cleaner is a year-round appliance. Organizing your items by convenience (or seasonal usefulness) guarantees a speedy retrieval later, especially when it's a Friday afternoon in March and you’re on your way to the mountains for a ski trip! 2. Decide The ‘Where’ a. Know your Needs: Take a look at your items. Are they fragile? Sensitive to heat, cold or moisture? ...
