Patio season is right around the corner and weather experts are predicting that between March and May, the harsh effects of Winter will begin to disappear, and above-normal temperatures are set to grace Ontario this Spring.
Here’s the catch!
It’s likely that the melting walls of snow, increasing water levels, combined with Spring rainfall will saturate the ground enough that it could cause flooding to homes, businesses and cottages that house important items and documents within them.
Calloway Storage Portable Containers are versatile and offer a safe and convenient alternative when planned or unplanned Spring renovations and remodels are scheduled.
Things can change at any moment, but the portable storage containers offer an ideal solution to store your items while you plan and piece together your future.
The storage containers are weatherproof and safe from rain and snow, but how do you safeguard your belongings against humidity and moisture within them?
Since the portable containers are not climate-controlled, here are FOUR fundamental ways to safety-proof your belongings to maintain pristine condition.
FURNITURE FACTS
In times of emergency, storing household items like furniture, electronics and documents is top of mind. Some fabrics like cotton and leather and even wood furniture is more temperamental, but you can still store them safely by taking the proper measures. Tightly package electronics and furniture in plastic and bubble wrap and place any documents in waterproof filing cases. If you take the steps to safeguard these items, you can store them to protect them from any moisture.
QUALITY BOXES
If your items are fragile, consider investing in quality plastic containers with safety snaps and lids. Cardboard boxes might be cheaper, but the likelihood of deterioration is high, considering the moisture inside the portable storage unit. Plus, your breakable items will be more secure within an easily accessible box.
PROPER PREPARATION
Storing items like winter jackets, snowmobiling suits and even winter clothing is a great way to start your Spring cleaning. You can store these items for as long as you need in the portable storage container, but to keep the quality of these items and ensure longevity, make sure you pack them when they are dry, clean and sealed in a high-quality garment bag. Bonus: the interior of the storage container is hidden from sun and direct light, keeping the colour of your apparel bright and new!
TIME FLEXIBLE
The length of time you store your items is completely up to you; however, we recommend checking on your items regularly to keep the quality of them in good condition and fresh from the humidity within.
No matter the weather, Calloway Storage Portable Containers are a straightforward solution to making sure your belongings are secured in time.
