☀️ Camping, Quadding & Cabin Life: Summer Storage Tips for Grande Prairie's Outdoor Enthusiasts

Summer in Grande Prairie is more than just a season — it's a lifestyle. Whether you're heading to the cabin, loading up the trailer for a long weekend of camping, or spending your days off exploring trails on your quad, one thing's for sure: the gear adds up fast.

Before your garage, basement, or driveway turns into a chaotic holding zone, it might be time to think about smart, seasonal self-storage. Here's how Cans N Boxes can help make your summer easier (and a lot more organized).


🧭 What Are Grande Prairie Residents Storing This Summer?

You’re not alone — many locals use storage units to keep their summer gear secure, dry, and out of the way until it’s needed. Here’s what people are tucking away:

  • ATVs & Side-by-Sides

  • Camping Gear (tents, cots, cook stations, propane tanks)

  • Kayaks, Paddleboards & Canoes

  • Outdoor Furniture & Equipment

  • Hunting & Fishing Supplies

  • Spare Trailers or Utility Rigs

  • Cabin Overflow (spare beds, tools, or backup fridges)


🔐 Why Use Self-Storage for Summer Gear?

  1. More Room at Home: Free up garage or driveway space to make room for vehicles or easier access.

  2. Security: Lock it up in a gated, video-monitored facility instead of risking theft from a backyard or alley.

  3. Drive-Up Convenience: Haul your trailer or quad directly to the unit and unload stress-free.

  4. Protect Your Investment: Avoid sun damage, moisture, or pests that can ruin expensive gear left exposed.

  5. Flexibility: Only need it for July and August? No problem — our short-term rentals are built for seasonal needs.

    ✅ Smart Summer Storage Tips

    • Label Bins Clearly: You’ll thank yourself later when you’re packing for a weekend trip in a rush.

    • Use Pallets or Shelving: Keep items off the floor to prevent damage from moisture or spills.

    • Store in Sections: Group by activity — camping, lake life, motorsports — to save time when loading out.

    • Don’t Forget the Coolers: Stack your summer coolers clean and dry — they take up a ton of space when left at home!

    • Leave Space to Move: Don’t pack your unit to the ceiling. Leave a path so you can grab that one thing you forgot.


    🏕️ Bonus: Out at the Cabin? Protect Your Home While You're Away

    Summer’s also prime time for weekend trips and longer getaways. If you’re leaving your home unattended, consider storing high-value items (bikes, tools, electronics) in a secure, monitored unit — especially if you don’t have a home security system.
