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).
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)
More Room at Home: Free up garage or driveway space to make room for vehicles or easier access.
Security: Lock it up in a gated, video-monitored facility instead of risking theft from a backyard or alley.
Drive-Up Convenience: Haul your trailer or quad directly to the unit and unload stress-free.
Protect Your Investment: Avoid sun damage, moisture, or pests that can ruin expensive gear left exposed.
Flexibility: Only need it for July and August? No problem — our short-term rentals are built for seasonal needs.
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.
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.
Don’t let summer fun turn into summer clutter. With drive-up access, flexible terms, and secure facilities, Cans N Boxes is Grande Prairie’s go-to solution for seasonal self-storage.
Whether you're a weekend warrior, lake lover, or trail junkie, we’ve got the space to keep your gear ready for whatever's next.
