June kicks off the summer season—and with it comes lake trips, trail rides, home projects, and gear… lots of gear. While summer is about enjoying the outdoors, it can also mean cluttered garages, crowded driveways, and not enough space where you need it most.

That’s where All Purpose Garages comes in. Our large, secure, and easy-access storage units give you the space to enjoy summer to the fullest—without tripping er at home Here are 10 popular summer activities that go hand-in-hand with having a storage unit.

🛥️ 1. Boating & Jet Skiing

Boats, jet skis, and trailers take up space—and storing them outside exposes them to sun, storms, and theft. Some HOAs don’t allow them at all.

Why storage helps:
Keep your watercraft clean, secure, and ready to launch with enclosed storage that protects your investment and clears your driveway.

🏕️ 2. Camping, RVing & Overlanding

Whether you camp with a tent or tow a full-sized RV, the gear piles up fast—grills, coolers, generators, chairs, and more.

Why storage helps:
Store your RV, rooftop camper, or travel trailer alongside all your supplies in one unit. It’s a clean, organized space that keeps your summer adventures ready to roll.

🚴 3. Mountain Biking & Trail Riding

Bikes, helmets, racks, and repair tools can take over a garage—especially if the whole family rides.

Why storage helps:
A secure unit with shelving keeps your bikes and gear organized and easy to access between trail days.

🏄 4. Paddleboarding & Kayaking

Boards, paddles, and life jackets are long, bulky, and hard to store indoors. Outdoors, they’re vulnerable to sun damage and theft.

Why storage helps:
Our tall units can easily store multiple paddleboards, kayaks, and accessories. Keep everything dry, protected, and ready to load up and go.

🛻 5. Off-Roading with ATVs & UTVs

ATVs, UTVs, and dirt bikes are a blast—but they’re also big, valuable, and often restricted by HOAs.

Why storage helps:
Store your off-road vehicles, fuel, tools, and accessories in one powered unit. Charge batteries, run air tools, and access your gear any time.

🎣 6. Fishing & Boating for Anglers

If you’re serious about fishing, you’ve got rods, tackle, coolers, electronics—and probably a boat.

Why storage helps:
Protect your fishing boat and gear between trips. Store rods, reels, bait, and electronics safely and conveniently, with 24/7 access for those early launches.

🛠️ 7. Home Improvement Projects

From new flooring to backyard upgrades, home projects often require moving or protecting furniture and tools.

Why storage helps:
Use a storage unit to hold furniture, tools, and supplies while you renovate. It keeps your workspace clear and your belongings protected.

🏖️ 8. Beach Days & Lake Life Gear

Beach chairs, umbrellas, pop-up tents, games, and water toys can overtake closets and garages in no time.

Why storage helps:
Stash all your lake and beach gear in one unit. Keep everything packed and ready so you can hit the water faster and stay organized all season long.

🌿 9. Landscaping & Yard Equipment

Mowers, wheelbarrows, bags of mulch, and seasonal tools need space—and your garage may not be cutting it.

Why storage helps:
Store lawn equipment, garden tools, and supplies offsite in a clean, secure unit. It keeps your home cleaner and your business (or hobby) more efficient.

🔧 10. Car Enthusiasts & Summer Toys

Have a project car, classic ride, or seasonal vehicle? Summer is the time to show it off—but it still needs a safe place to live.

Why storage helps:
Keep your car or motorcycle protected in an insulated, powered unit. Work on it, clean it, and roll it out when the weather’s just right.
