We talk a lot about the benefits of climate-controlled storage units. These rooms keep your items fresh and secure in a stable, temperature-controlled environment that can be adjusted according to your storage needs. These units also repel bug infestations, moisture and mildew, and general rust and dust. It’s like a little world custom-created for your items! How great is that? So here’s the next question: what items actually require climate-controlled storage? My ski gear? My winter sweaters? My chainsaw?
