As the days get shorter a decluttered home can feel lighter and more appealing.
Before reading on, if you have questions about getting the most from a storage unit, our teams at Kiwi Self Storage, are here to help.
To get you started, here are four reasons why you want to organise winter self-storage.
Reason One: You'll Make More Room
Is your garage always full, leaving no room to park the car? Are you worried about clutter and lack of floor space? Renting a self-storage unit can help free up extra space. You can store everything from excess summer sports equipment to outdoor furniture or items you don’t need daily. By using off-site storage, you’ll finally get the extra space in your home you’ve been wanting for ages.
Reason Two: Storing Equipment Frees Up Space
As cooler weather arrives, things in the garden slow down. You don't need to worry so much about lawn and garden maintenance. Items such as the lawnmower, hedge trimmer and other garden tools take up valuable space in the garage or shed. If you'd like more space to use for other things throughout the winter months, renting a storage unit is an easy and affordable way to create the additional space you need.
Reason Three: Preserving Outdoor Furniture Makes Sense
Winter weather can deteriorate exposed outdoor furniture and umbrellas. One day it may be sunny and warm, and the next it may be damp and cold. Severe weather fluctuations can affect your outdoor furniture, modern furniture in particular, especially if it is not covered. If you’ve invested in your outdoor furniture, you’ll want to keep it looking great for years to come.
Reason Four: Protecting Against New Zealand’s Damp Winter Conditions
New Zealand's winter can be particularly damp, which can lead to mold and mildew problems in homes. By using a self-storage if your home lacks climate control, you can protect your belongings from the effects of dampness. Items like clothing, books, and electronics can be safely stored without the risk of moisture damage, ensuring they remain in good condition throughout the winter months.
Why not arrange a tour of one of our storage Facilities?
We'd love to discuss your storage needs with us and take you on a tour of our facility. That way you can be confident that our storage solution is what you need. What's more if you change your mind we can provide a different unit when you move in.

National Volunteer Week celebrates the collective contribution of the millions of volunteers who enrich Aotearoa New Zealand.
National Volunteer Week 2024 runs from June 16-22. This year’s theme is ‘Whiria te tangata – weaving the people together’. Volunteering weaves us together, strengthening the fabric of our community.
Volunteering is a powerful movement. When we volunteer our time, skills and energy, we show we care for our communities. This National Volunteer Week we celebrate the diversity of volunteers and volunteering, mahi aroha and social action in Aotearoa.
Volunteers are our companions, firefighters, sports team coaches, fierce advocates, environmental stewards, and so much more. In marae, mosques, churches, and communities across Aotearoa.
Volunteers are first responders in emergencies, clean-up our beaches and restore wild places, provide baking and meals for those in need, and support people who are having a hard time.
Now more than ever, as a volunteering community we commit to manaakitanga and whakawhanaungatanga. We commit to caring, and to building meaningful, enduring and inclusive relationships across our differences and to make space for diverse voices.
We can create a diverse, inclusive, and connected future. Join us this National Volunteer Week as we celebrate our collective impact.
