Using an Enclosed Trailer for Storage

Have you accumulated more items than your house can hold? Do you have an enclosed trailer sitting empty in your yard?

The obvious handy solution is even more convenient than you might think. The features and qualities that make enclosed trailers ideal for hauling are no less beneficial for storage:

Protection from Weather: Quality enclosed trailers are designed to protect their contents and themselves from moisture caused by snow or rain, and from the drying, fading, and cracking effects of the hot sun. With a bit of sealing and maintenance help from you, they can continue to do so for a long time.

Mobile storage: If you own a farm or other large property, and use many of the same tools repeatedly, you can move them all wherever you need to use them. And in emergency situations like approaching wildfire or severe weather, you can load up your valuable possessions, so you’re prepared to haul them to safety.

Protection from Theft and Vandalism: Existing theft deterrence features, like door locks and solid construction, are just as effective in your yard as they are on the road.

Protection from Floodwater: Trailers are already elevated by tires and can be raised further on concrete platforms.

Cost-Effectiveness: Over the long term, buying a trailer costs less than renting, building, or purchasing a storage unit.

Versatility: You can store anything from household items to business equipment to vehicles, and your enclosed trailer can serve a wide variety of purposes.

Temporary storage during moves. If you need to do some work on your new space before you move items in, you have them stored close by.

Storing equipment for events. If your business is supplying anything from catering to music, you can keep your equipment safe and ready to roll.

Seasonal Storage: Hockey equipment, Christmas decorations, or camping gear – if you’re not using it at the same time you’re not using your trailer, take advantage.
