Top 5 Ways Alberta Families Use Storage Year-Round (From Trailers to Tools)
When people think of self-storage, they often picture short-term use — moving houses or stashing winter gear. But for many Alberta families, storage is more than a seasonal fix. It’s a year-round solution that makes life simpler, tidier, and way less stressful.
At Legal Self Storage in Legal, Alberta, we see all sorts of smart storage strategies from our local customers. Here are the top 5 ways families here use storage — not just in spring, but all year long.
1. RV and Trailer Parking Between Trips
If you’ve got a camper or trailer, you know how much space it takes up. Rather than blocking the driveway or crowding the street, families in Legal park their RVs at our facility between adventures. It’s secure, easy to access, and frees up space at home — especially in winter or between long hauls.
2. Storing Seasonal Equipment and Tools
From snowblowers and salt buckets in winter to lawnmowers and pressure washers in summer, seasonal equipment doesn’t need to live in your garage year-round. Self-storage keeps your gear safe, dry, and out of the way until the weather calls for it.
3. Overflow for Growing Families
Kids come with a lot of stuff — toys, clothes, cribs, bikes, sports gear. Storage units make great overflow space when your home starts to feel full. It’s also handy for parents who want to hang onto items for future use, hand-me-downs, or even sentimental keepsakes.
4. Making Room for Home Projects
Renovating? Building a new shed? Converting a spare room? Temporary storage clears the way without the clutter. Families use our units to store furniture, tools, and materials so they can work freely — and keep things protected from dust, damage, or unexpected weather.
5. Business & Hobby Storage
Plenty of local families run side businesses or have hobbies that need extra space. Whether it’s selling goods online, woodworking, or running a landscaping crew — our drive-up storage units are ideal for tools, inventory, and supplies that don’t belong in the house.
