Bikes. Golf Clubs. Rowing machines. Treadmills. Camping stuff. Kayaks. Fishing gear. All reminders of your best intentions and what you perhaps should be doing but aren’t or can’t now?
Do you prefer the gym, swimming or walking? Or has the person who used to work up a sweat moved out?
Is your sports equipment seasonal and lying idle for most of the year, taking up prime real estate space at home?
Sports equipment has a nasty habit of accumulating because it’s expensive and you don’t want to give it away, at least you’re not ready to do so yet, plus there’s always a chance that you might get your motivation back.
Or maybe it’s got a whole new lease of life as a dumping ground for clothes?
Bulky sports equipment is tricky to store, so why not enjoy a declutter and pop it into one of our storage units?
How to store your clothes and shoes long-term with Edinburgh Self Storage
Smart decluttering
A declutter can make your home easier to live in. Perhaps you’re an empty-nester, and you’re finally getting round to tackling the rooms where you closed the door on clutter and put it out of your mind.
Or maybe you’re preparing to downsize and getting your house in shape for the housing market? Did you know that you can sell your home more quickly with self storage?
Perhaps you still use the golf clubs occasionally, or go skiing from time to time – it doesn’t mean that this equipment must become part of the furniture.
Space is valuable, and you deserve it.

Bike storage
Bikes aren’t the easiest thing to store. You can chain them up outside with a cover on them, but the wind can whip it up, and the rain can still do its rusty worst. Or you can put them in the garage using all sorts of inventive methods, like wall mounting them, etc.
But not everybody has this luxury, plus you don’t want to risk damaging the car by stuffing in too many things.
Our bike storage in Edinburgh is excellent on this count, and for a family of bikes or if you have a mixture of mountain, road or e-bikes in your collection.

Golf club storage
Even in a large house, a set of golf clubs is surprisingly imposing. It’s like having a giant R2-D2 observing you from the corner of the room.
Then there’s the clobber, including shoes, a trolley, and other accessories. This can all take over a spare room, no bother. And if you only play at certain times of the year, or you’re not able to play at the moment, then there’s little reason to have them cluttering up your home.
Placing it all in storage means that you can keep everything in one place, so you can easily access it rather than going hunting for items and getting yourself into a tangle when you can’t find them.
Not to mention letting that spare room, loft, and garage breathe when you take up our golf club storage in Edinburgh.
Kayak storage and water sports equipment
Then we have the challenges that come with storing kayaks, paddleboards and surfboards. A room containing a cluster of them can feel like Stonehenge.
They’re incredibly tricky to put away, unless you happen to live in a palace.
We provide kayak storage, paddleboard and surfboard storage in Edinburgh.
The same applies to all seasonal sports equipment storage. No point keeping it all underfoot when you only use it for a peep in the year.

Camping equipment storage
It starts with a simple wee tent and stove. The next time you look you look, it’s multipeid into sleeping bags, camping chairs, tables, etc.
Our camping equipment storage in Edinburgh can, again, help you keep it all in one place so that when you’re ready for the off, it’s all there in one place. No stressing out because the mallet or something else that’s integral is missing when you arrive at your destination.

Ski storage
You might not be able to hit the slopes all year round, chasing high altitude glaciers, leaving you with the headache of where to store all the gear.
It can be a headache. Skis, boots, helmets, clothing. You don’t want to be looking at it all year round, so give it a new home in one of our storage units.
Our ski storage in Edinburgh is where it’s at. Not your attic, garage or shoved in various nooks and crannies.
Fitness equipment storage
Our fitness equipment storage in Edinburgh is the best place to put it all as part of a declutter. All of it seemed like a good idea at the time – treadmill, exercise bike, rowing machine, weights, bench-press.
Maybe you want a break from some or all of it? Perhaps you’d like to clear it all out and reintroduce some of it once you have decluttered? Or is it that it belongs to someone who has since moved out and they can’t accommodate it yet, and you’re sick of putting it up?
Again, this stuff doesn’t come cheap, which is why self storage trumps giving it away on a whim.
Store sports equipment when you’re preparing to move
Sports equipment storage is excellent when you’re staging your home for a sale or downsizing.
Sports equipment can look quite unsightly, quite frankly, and spoil the lines of a room, as well as make the house look smaller than it is.
You don’t want someone’s first impression of your home to conjure up a cramped, full space bursting at the seams. Or have surfboards and the like potentially falling out of cupboards.
Keep the spors hobby. Ditch the clutter
You don’t have to defect to the side of minimalism to declutter like a pro. You can still enjoy these hobbies, just not have them take over your home. And this is even more important when it’s a family home with lots of different sports equipment all competing for space.
Our sports equipment storage in Edinburgh is your surefire way to reclaim your space at home and avoid anything drastic that you might later come to regret.
