Prepare your storage shed for the fall and winter. How to transition and protect your shed to weather the cold all fall and winter long:

After enjoying the warm summer months, it's time to freshen up your storage space and make the transition from hot to cold seamless. Start by putting away those pool floats and making sure the leaf blower is easily accessible in the front of your shed. Below are a few things you might want to think about as the temperatures start to drop!

• As the summer season comes to a close, it's important to store away your seasonal items to ensure they remain in good condition for the following year. This includes patio furniture, lawnmowers, and pool accessories. Instead of purchasing covers for your outdoor furniture, consider storing them indoors to protect them from rust and damage. By placing your patio furniture in a storage shed, you can prolong its lifespan and continue to enjoy outdoor dinners for years to come.

  
  

  

  
  

• Make sure to organize your shed for easy access to your snow shovel! Before the snow starts falling, it's important to ensure that you can quickly find your shovel and rock salt. In the Midwest, snowfall can last from November to April, so it's essential to be prepared. Take some time to organize your storage shed to make transitioning between seasons as smooth as possible.

  
  

  

  
  

• Remember to maintain proper ventilation to ensure that there is a continuous supply of fresh air and the removal of indoor air pollutants. Proper ventilation helps to control moisture levels, reduce the concentration of airborne contaminants, and maintain a comfortable and healthy indoor environment. It is important to regularly open windows or use exhaust fans to improve indoor air quality.
