Winter brings excitement — from holiday decorating to seasonal sports adventures. But once the celebrations end, Waxahachie residents often find garages, closets, and attics overflowing with décor, gear, and bulky items. Proper storage not only keeps your home organized but also protects valuable belongings for years to come. Here’s how to store winter sports gear and holiday décor the right way.

1. Clean and Prepare Winter Sports Gear

Before storing skis, snowboards, ice skates, or cold-weather gear:
  • Wipe off dirt, salt, and moisture to avoid rust or mildew.
  • Dry all fabric items completely to prevent lingering odors.
  • Wax skis and boards to keep the edges protected.
  • Loosen boot buckles and laces to maintain their shape.
A little prep now means less work — and fewer repairs — next season.

2. Use Protective Covers and Proper Containers

Seasonal items last longer when stored correctly:
  • Use hard cases or padded bags for sports equipment.
  • Choose durable plastic storage bins for holiday décor.
  • Wrap delicate ornaments and lights in bubble wrap or tissue paper.
  • Store artificial trees in heavy-duty, sealable bags or boxes.
Avoid flimsy cardboard boxes — they attract moisture and pests, especially in Texas weather.

3. Label Everything for Easy Access

After the holidays, you want décor stored neatly so next year’s setup is simple. Label bins by content, color, or room type:
  • “Outdoor Lights”
  • “Tree Decorations – Fragile”
  • “Winter Sports Gear – Kids”
This makes finding what you need fast and frustration-free.

4. Keep Items Off the Floor for Better Protection

Seasonal items stored on the ground are more vulnerable to:
  • Moisture
  • Dust
  • Temperature fluctuations
  • Pests
Use shelving, pallets, or stackable bins to keep everything elevated and well-ventilated.

5. Choose Climate-Controlled Storage for Sensitive Décor

Texas humidity can ruin delicate holiday items. Climate-controlled storage is ideal for:
  • Fabric decorations
  • Candles
  • Musical light systems
  • Vintage ornaments
  • Documents, photos, or keepsakes
It maintains a stable temperature and humidity level to preserve your items year after year.

6. Store Bulky Items in Drive-Up Units

Winter gear can be heavy and awkward to move. Drive-up storage units allow Waxahachie residents to:
  • Load and unload directly from the vehicle
  • Store larger bins and sporting equipment
  • Save time during seasonal transitions
This convenience is especially helpful for families rotating storage multiple times a year.
