Thanksgiving and Halloween Storage

Storing your season decorations

Ah, it is the season of falling leaves, floppy-hatted scarecrows, pumpkin pies, ghosts and goblins and of course witches! What makes the excitement of this holiday season so festive? Decorations of course!

Holiday decorating is for everyone. It is not just limited to the family household. It is a welcomed treat for any business environment as well. Whether you are decorating for a family, for the general public or just your employees, seasonal decor is truly festive. Everyone who likes to enjoy the multitude of seasonal holidays that we celebrate each year, shares one daunting task: What would that task be you ask? Storage of course!

This one aspect can make or break a successful decorating episode. Let Green Storage share with you some timely tips to make your seasonal decorating something to look forward to each year.

Now, where did I put that?

Have you ever carefully stashed away the decorations, “just until I have time to organize them”, only to find that the next season is upon you and you are frantically searching every nook and cranny for them? Those are the decorations that you could swear that you put in this cupboard or in this tote or right here in this closet. This is what many face when storing decorations for the holidays. This is why extra hours of searching and repurchasing items can be costly. One safe and secure storage unit can eliminate the time and frustration spent searching as well as the cost of replacing “lost” items. Green Storage offers many different locker sizes to choose from to store your seasonal décor and other items! If you’re unsure about what size you’ll need, click here to find your ideal unit!

How to Store the Abundance of Holiday Decor.

Decorations come in every shape, size and colour that you can imagine. And even some that you can’t. Just thinking of trying to find the right place to store that pumpkin wreath or those crepe ghosts so that they make it through until next year can be quite a challenge. Taking the time to properly ensure that small items are packed carefully, in labeled totes, ensures quick retrieval of certain unbroken items. Autumn is a busy time for festivities which means that items such as corn stalks, gourds, and cornucopias are quickly followed by witches, jack-o’-lanterns, ghosts and ghouls. Stored promptly and properly ensures that you will be thankful for them next year.

Many of the decorations these days are quite substantial in size and design and need to be stored in an adequate and safe environment to keep their value and use throughout many seasons. Let’s face it, decorations for the season are an investment and thus need to be properly stored to ensure your investment is protected. With a proper storage unit, all these decorations can be stored in one secure place that is more than adequate to stack totes, hang items and store other larger items in an organized manner. Green Storage has 20+ different sized units, from 10 sq feet to 250 sq feet, to facilitate your every need. A climate controlled environment will add longevity to your decorations. Knowing that many of our facilities offer 24 hour secure access to you ensures your decorations are never out of reach!
