Cottage Life Storage: What to Store Off-Site to Maximize Your Space
Here’s What Locals Store Off-Site:
Outdoor Furniture:
Bulky chairs, umbrellas, and cushions can be protected in storage over winter.
Boating Accessories:
Think life jackets, tubes, oars, and motor parts.
Backup Mattresses & Bedding:
Keep extras in storage and only pull them out when guests come.
Tools & Equipment:
Avoid clutter in your cottage shed by moving infrequently used items off-site.
Holiday Decor:
Seasonal decorations don’t need to take up your precious cottage space.
Self-storage also protects these items from weather, rodents, and theft—especially if you leave your cottage unattended for months at a time.
