August 28, 2024 by Secure-Rite
1. Declutter and stage your space.
As the seasons change, portable storage containers are an easy way to clean up and organize your home. Imagine… no more tripping over piles on your living room floor. Suddenly, you have the time and space to breathe so you can make thoughtful decisions. It’s as simple as this:
• Have a portable storage unit brought to your front door.
• Set it up as a place to sort through seasonal items.
• Sort things easily into piles for keeping, giving, or throwing away
• Store what you won't need until next year.
2. Store your outdoor furniture.
Protect your patio set, grill and keep all your outdoor items in great shape by storing them inside a shipping container over the winter until you’re ready to BBQ again! It’s a smart way to keep things safe from the harsh winter weather, helping it last for many years to come.
3. Prepare for home improvement renovations
Fall is prime time for home renovations, and renting a renovation or moving container makes it easier and less stressful. Clear out entire rooms for painting, flooring, or other upgrades. Avoid accidental furniture paint jobs and protect your belongings from that dreaded layer of renovation dust!

4. Organize holiday decorations.
No one wants to be the house that leaves their Christmas lights on year-round! As the holidays approach, managing decorations can be a challenge. Container storage can simplify this process. Make it easy on yourself by keeping decorations organized and easily accessible. Say goodbye to tangled lights and broken ornaments and avoid rebuying new decorations just because you can’t find the old ones.
5. Create a workshop or temporary garage.
You can turn a shipping container into a workshop or tool shed that can be used as temporary garage storage while the seasons change. Safely retire your summer gardening tools and free up room for your rakes, leaf blowers or other fall essentials for easy access. Our Structures team can a container to make room for your DIY projects by adding shelves, workbenches, and lighting.
6. Emergency storage.
Fire season is almost over… but soon we will need to be ready for fall floods, winter storms or power outages and this is where the durability of shipping containers can be lifesaving. Securely store extra supplies like backup power generators, snow removal equipment, and essential food and water provisions. Keeping critical items easily accessible during emergencies can help you and your neighbours through dangerous times.
7. An entire guest house or recreational space.
Love it when people visit but need extra space and maybe some additional privacy? A shipping container can be transformed into a cozy guest house or a play area for kids. Or if it’s self-care time you are looking for, why not consider a modified container for your man cave or a she-shed?
