Storing Winter Items

It’s that time of year again- the decision looms whether you should keep all the winter junk in the basement or the garage. What a decision to make: should our basement be so full we can’t bear to see the mess we make downstairs? Or should it all go to the garage, taking up space that our cars need to park. The latter is a far more common opinion for items such as winter ties, snow blowers, shovels, skis, sleds, skates, and other winter accessories. It is not the car-friendly option though. Leaving your vehicle outside rather than a garage can lead to extra insurance charges, quicker wear and tear, and other external damages that are caused by Canada’s harsh weather conditions. Not to mention walking to your vehicle during a thunderstorm or putting the seat belt on in humid 30 degree plus temperatures can cause quite a bit of discomfort. The quick and easy solution, which will save you money over time, is to utilize a secure storage space near your home. Centron is at 4500 Chesswood Dr. which provide easy access in central North York area.

 

Just Forget About It, Leave Winter Blues Behind

Wouldn’t it be great to have Florida temperatures here in Toronto, at least for the summer time? For 10 to 20 percent of Canadian’s who suffer from Seasonal Depression (SAD) – yes, that exists – forgetting about winter may be the best way to get off to a good summer start. Storing all of your winter coats, heavy sweaters, hats, gloves, winter tires and shovels will allow you to forget winter and all its shortcomings. What better way to forget about an extreme cold alert than to kick-start summer off not with a house that looks like it came from Hawaii?

Looking Back: How My Storage Unit Has Been Useful Over the Past Three Years

It seems like not too long ago my father gave me a free year of secure storage for my birthday. Three years sure passes quickly, doesn’t it? I used to think storage wasn’t for me. Boy was I wrong. I have actually been saving a lot of money. I was able to rent a smaller apartment which has allowed me to save enough money to make a down payment on a condo for me and my fiancé.

I have been able to store all of my collections (did I mention I love collecting bikes?) in a safe and secure environment. The apartment I could afford with my entry level salary was way too small to keep me growing collection of bicycles. Once I started using my storage space I gradually added new items to my unit. What was just bikes at first soon became home to my collection of old movies, my out of season clothes, my fishing gear, my skis, and of course the barrage of presents my fiancé and I received once word of our engagement spread.

Needless to say, I was hooked. When my year or free storage ended I happily renewed my rental contract. What’s better is I managed to close a spectacular price thanks to Centron’s annual winter specials.

Now that I am moving to my own home I can downsize my unit to only fit my bike collection. Maybe I’ll need to go big again once I have a family. Whenever that day comes I’m happy to know that Centron Storage is providing me with the most affordable and secure storage facility in North York.

Files, files, files:
Who here has a collection of old receipts? How about all of your tax deductible goodies like dental bills? Keeping all of your files neat and tidy is difficult when you lack proper space.

Storolph the Centron Reindeer: Santa, for the last three years you’ve been renting a private storage unit from Centron storage. How has the experience been?

Santa Clause: My experience has been quite the good ol’ jolly time. You should have seen the North Pole before I found Centron Storage. Mrs. Clause wasn’t too pleased about the mess. She told me if I don’t find a new place to store all of my toys I’m going to have to move to the South Pole! Luckily my friendly neighbourhood storage centre was available. It’s hard being Santa- do you know how tough it is living these days while giving out free toys to billions of children!? Luckily the prices at Centron were affordable. A few of my elf’s even jumped on the new $99 promotion going on at Centron. For a 10 x 10 unit that’s the best price we could find.

SCR: So Santa, what do you like best about Centron Storage?

SC: I’ve been able to use the online storage calculator to figure out exactly how much I can store in my unit. I can pick pretty much any item and add it to my virtual room. I could even fit my slay in my secure storage unit! Even better I know all of my presents are safe and secure.

Plus I can easily write down everyone’s address on their box so I know which house I’m delivering to. This has made my North York deliveries much quicker giving me more time for cookies and milk- yum!

SCR: Thank you Mr. Clause. Do you have any final words?

SC: Christmas is my favorite time of year, and I love holiday specials like a 10 x 10 storage unit for up to 4 rental periods for only $99. But sometimes we shop too much and have a lot of clutter in our house. When that happens you know you can count on Centron Self Storage to tidy your house. Merry Christmas everyone.

Preparing for Winter with Centron Storage

What an exciting time of year this is! Hockey has started, Santa Clause and his elves are slaving away in the North Pole, and the New Year is quickly approaching. Thinking about it brings chills down my spine… Literally! The temperature has been dropping, slowly but steadily. North York has even seen some negative weather. Time to put away our boat, Jet Ski, surf board… And everything else that makes the summer special. That includes our favourite lawn chairs and patio setup.

Luckily, these items do not have to be stashed away in our basements or take up space in the garage or driveway (not to mention that extra garage space will come in handy to saving your car from the wrath of snow fall). When you rent an affordable storage unit with Centron you will save yourself from a number of troubles. You can store your summer activities in a reliable, private storage space which is easy to access. This will prevent outdoor items from rusting or damaging due to extreme weather conditions, it will save a heap of space in your home keeping everything tidy, and lastly you will have peace of mind that when you store your expensive summer ‘toys’ in a room-temperature room, they will have a far longer lifespan.

Be sure to check out our vast array of storage supplies in order to get everything secure for the winter. It is best to wrap fragile items in bubble wrap. Boxes should be filled to capacity and labelled for stability and convenience. Make sure you stack lighter boxes over heavier ones when you ready your North York storage space for winter use, in order to ensure everything stays balanced and you are not lifting heavy boxes up and down (potentially hurting yourself).
