A Home Run For Your Sports Equipment

6 Reasons to store sporting equipment


Organization: Proper storage helps keep your gear organized, making it easier to find what you need when you need it. This saves time and reduces the frustration of searching through cluttered spaces for missing items.


Protection and Longevity: Storing sports equipment correctly can protect it from damage, extending its lifespan. For example, keeping a bicycle out of the rain prevents rust, and storing a basketball in a cool, dry place can prevent it from warping or losing its bounce.


Safety: Storing equipment safely can prevent accidents, like tripping over loose items. The phrase "store your gear and save your toes from being stubbed" highlights this point well. By keeping sports equipment off the floor and in its designated place, you reduce the risk of injury from stumbling over it.


Space Efficiency: Effective storage solutions can help maximize space, especially in smaller homes or shared spaces. Using vertical space (like wall mounts for bikes or racks for skis) or under-bed storage for smaller items can keep living areas free from clutter.


Maintenance: Proper storage can also make it easier to maintain your equipment. For example, storing weights on a rack may prevent them from rolling around and getting scratched or dented. Similarly, hanging wet gear to dry before storage can prevent mold and mildew.


Aesthetic Appeal: Well-organized sports equipment can add to the aesthetic appeal of your space. Innovative storage solutions can even serve as a display, showcasing your commitment to an active lifestyle.


Cost-Efficiency: Taking good care of your sports equipment by storing it properly can save you money in the long run. By extending the life of your gear, you won't have to replace items as frequently.

Picking The Right Storage Unit Size


First time moving or storing? Choosing the right storage unit size is important and A Family Storage is here to help you find the right storage type and storage unit. Here are 3 steps to help you narrow down the most suitable storage unit size for your needs:


  1. Make a short list of the items you intend to store, including any furniture, appliances, and anything that has a unique shape that wouldn’t fit into a box. 
  2. Estimate how many boxes you’ll be adding to your storage unit. 
  3. Needing more storage space than a closet size-?  That’s 5 feet long by 5 feet wide with a total of 200 cubic feet of space. Check out our Self Storage Size Guide to identify what size unit you will need.


These small 5 x 5 storage units are ideal for storing seasonal decorations, sports equipment, remodeling materials, tools, appliances, or when you just need an extra closet-sized space. This storage unit is your go-to. Perfect when you need just a little extra room that your home cannot supply.
