What Can Be Stored in a Climate Controlled Storage Unit?

Items	Why you need climate control
Media and electronics	Humidity can corrode internal components, damage screens, and lead to malfunction or shortened lifespan. Climate control keeps moisture and temperature stable, so your electronics stay functional.
Valuable apparel	If you’re storing wedding dresses, vintage clothing, designer items, hats, garments with lace or leather, etc., climate control can help preserve fabric integrity and value.
Wood, metal, wicker, leather or upholstered furniture	Organic materials on your furniture are vulnerable to mold and mildew. Climate control will protect against both long-term damage and unpleasant odors.
Books, documents, artwork, or photographs	Paper and ink are highly susceptible to moisture. Use climate control to protect important documents and sentimental items from growing mold, yellowing, and warping.
Wine	Wine requires stable temperatures and humidity to avoid premature aging and oxidation. Many storage facilities offer storage lockers specifically catered to optimal wine storage
Musical instruments	Instruments can crack, warp, or lose tuning due to changes in temperature or humidity. You can keep them in playable condition by using climate control to preserve their shape and sound quality.
Glass, metal and plastics	Climate control will protect your items from warping, melting, and discoloring over time.
Antiques and collectibles	Humidity levels are important for the preservation of your antiques (grandfather's clocks, artwork, etc.) and collectibles (stamps, coins, comic books, etc.).
Medical supplies and medications	Extreme temperatures can cause adhesives to lose their stickiness. Climate control can prevent damage to materials like latex and plastic and keep your supplies safe.
Makeup and toiletries	Climate control can prevent makeup and toiletries from drying out or cracking, getting too damp (making it a breeding ground for bacteria), melting, and more.
Household appliances	The amount of metal present in household appliances makes rust an issue in places with high humidity. Choose climate control to protect valuable items such as fridges against extreme temperatures.
Sporting equipment	Sporting gear is susceptible to cracking and breaking in extreme temperatures. With climate control, you can keep them in tip-top shape during off-season storage.

The site was very easy to use

I found a great climate-controlled storage unit (10x17) for $145 a month. Reservations are good for a week or two, but it’s always best to confirm with the location dates/times.
