Sports Equipment Storage Ideas

If you take part in one or more sports, you likely have equipment taking up space in your garage or home and a lot of sports equipment can be a significant investment, so it’s important that your gear is properly stored. 

Read our latest blog post to discover why Cubic Storage is the perfect solution and learn a few sports equipment storage tips to help you stay on top of your items.

The Importance of Sports Equipment Storage

Sports equipment can be large, bulky and awkwardly shaped, so it’s likely you keep a lot of it scattered around your garage in random places, which puts it at risk of damage. The good news is that there are sports equipment storage solutions available, which you could use to neatly organise your gear and keep it in top condition for the next time you use it. Here are some reasons why good storage is important:

It Preserves the Life of Your Equipment

Finding a place to store bulky equipment indoors where it will not be damaged can be difficult, but leaving your sports gear outside will expose it to harsh weather conditions, causing it to degrade much quicker than it should. One of the best features of sports equipment storage is that it can be stored indoors at a secure location. That means you don’t have to worry about bugs, water, dirt, and other elements spoiling your gear, whether it’s footballs, helmets, bikes, hockey sticks, gloves, or other valuables.

Because you’ve probably spent a reasonable sum of money on buying your sports equipment, you want to ensure it’s well protected. Renting storage solutions for sports equipment is one of the safest ways to keep everything in good shape.

It Frees up Space in Your Home

Most sports, especially those that are water-based, require some sort of gear that can be cumbersome to store at home. Instead of worrying about where to keep water skis, bicycles, kayaks, canoes and more, you should rent a storage container. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that all your items are safe and secure, plus they’re easy to access and facilities, like ourselves at Cubic Storage, allow for 24/7 access to your unit with our additional service packs – meaning that you can access your belongings whenever you need them.

Keeps Equipment Away from Children and Animals

Some sports equipment can pose a danger to small kids and pets at home, especially if they accidentally knock something over. What’s more, sports gear can be very expensive, so keeping it away from children and pets will prevent it from being damaged.

Storing Football Equipment

Among the top sports in the UK and worldwide is football. Luckily, it doesn’t require much equipment if you’re a player, but if you run a kids’ football team, for example, you likely have a lot of kit and equipment that you need to store somewhere between practices. Storing balls, nets, cones and team kits at home is simply impossible for most people, so a storage solution like those available here at Cubic Storage could provide exactly what you’re looking for.

DIY Storage Solutions

Here are a few ways in which you can store your sports equipment:

• High-density shelves: Shelving racks can provide you with functional space for a wide range of gear, especially if you are an active family. Cubicles and ball racks are ideal for holding smaller and frequently used items too, providing quick access without having to trawl through boxes. Shelving racks are also a great way of making use of vertical space.

• Boot racks: The majority of sports involve some sort of special footwear. It’s a waste of space to leave your shoes lying around on the floor, so consider using a boot rack to hold your shoes.

• Group items together: As you prepare your sporting equipment for storage, it’s important to group items together by sport. That way, you will be able to find things much more easily the next time you need them. If possible, label shelving and any boxes you use and keep a record of what you’re storing.
