Autumn Declutter in Ferndown: 7 Items to Store Before Winter
As the weather cools and summer turns to autumn, it’s the perfect time to take stock of what’s in your home, garage, or garden. Whether you’re getting ready for guests, reclaiming the spare room, or protecting your outdoor items from bad weather, our storage units Ferndown offer the ideal space to keep things safe and dry through winter.
Here are seven common items that local residents are storing this season — and why a quick autumn declutter can make your home feel fresh, organised, and ready for the months ahead.
1. Garden Furniture
Tables, chairs, parasols, and BBQs take up precious space and can deteriorate quickly if left outdoors. By placing them in one of our dry, secure storage units in Ferndown, you’ll prevent rust and mould, so they’re ready to use again come spring.
2. Outdoor Toys & Sports Equipment
Bikes, scooters, trampolines, and even paddling pools can clutter sheds and garages. Storing them in a secure unit keeps them safe from the elements and frees up space for tools, logs, or winter supplies. Plus, you’ll know everything’s clean and organised for next summer.
3. Camping Gear & Holiday Equipment
With festival season over, tents, cool boxes, and folding chairs don’t need to take up cupboard space. Keeping them in a storage container means they stay protected — and you won’t spend hours hunting for missing poles next year!
4. Summer Clothing & Accessories
Rotating your wardrobe is one of the simplest ways to feel more organised. Pack away shorts, sandals, and light jackets in labelled boxes. Our Ferndown storage units are clean, dry, and perfect for keeping fabrics fresh through damp winter months.
5. Seasonal Business Stock
If you run a small business or trade, autumn is a great time to reorganise. Clear out seasonal stock, display materials, or event equipment and store them securely. Many local traders use our Ferndown storage site as an affordable extension of their workspace.
6. Tools, DIY & Garden Machinery
Protect power tools, mowers, and strimmers from frost and moisture. With 24-hour CCTV and gated access, our site offers peace of mind that your kit is safe when not in use. For tips on tool safety and maintenance, see the HSE’s guidance on equipment storage.
7. Spare Furniture & Household Items
Preparing for family visits or redecorating a room? Move unused furniture into a storage container to give yourself breathing space. It’s also ideal if you’re downsizing or between moves and want a flexible, short-term solution.
