Adrenaline sports and hobbies can come with a lot of equipment. From snowboarding to kite surfing, from skydiving to scuba diving, not to mentionskiing and windsurfing, there are many adventure sports that require a substantial amount of hardware, clothing and safety gear.
They’re all sports that are more accessible than ever and with record numbers of people taking part in these adventure activities it meansmore space is required to store all that kit.
That’s fine if you can afford to live in a big house with plenty of cupboard space, a spare room, loft or garage. But for most city dwellers,confined to a one bedroom apartment or flat, finding a place for that sports gear is a challenge.
You could try and get your kit to double up as useful additions round the place... your surfboard is roughly ironing board shaped, your scubatank would make an awesome doorstop, your upturned snowboard a delightful coffee table and the paraglider a rather good draft excluder.However, none of that’s very practical, so what’s really needed is somewhere to store it all.
Whether you have one sports hobby or are a serial adrenaline junkie, it’s probably the weekends when all the action happens. During theweek a self storage unit can provide that space in a cost effective and convenient way.
A self storage unit is a self-contained room that you rent specifically for the purpose of storing things. You can store almost anything(flammable, perishable or illegal items are understandably forbidden) including all of your sports gear.
It’s essentially an off-site store room that you can access as frequently as you like and (some offer 24-hour access) whenever you like. The onlydifference is that your room is in a storage depot full of other rooms rented to other people. So you never know, you might bump intoanother adrenaline junkie getting prepared for their wild weekend away.
Usually sized by the square foot, storage units come in a range of sizes to suit all needs. So if it is just your paraglider that you’d rather notbe trying to squeeze under your bed or your full inventory of surfboard, snowboard and skydiving rig, you can rent a unit that’s just the rightsize. So whether your weekend involves surfing in Devon, skydiving in Peterborough or snowboarding in Switzerland, it’s reassuring toknow that your kit won’t be cluttering up the apartment when you return.
You don’t have to use your room just for your sports kit either. If you fancy stashing your original CD music collection (now that you’ve goteverything in the cloud), you can keep that in there too. Or unused furniture, or obsolete tech, or that trunk full of stuff from your parents’ loftthat you never sorted.
It’s becoming such a popular way to make extra room at home that storage centres are now a common service offered in every major city.There are several big brands and also some great local family firms. It is also well worth shopping around as it is a competitive industry and there are some great deals to be found.
