New Found Hobbies During The Pandemic Which Will Benefit From Self-Storage East London

You might have noticed yourself diving into new hobbies throughout the COVID-19 wave. Whether you have been exploring new challenges such as teaching yourself to sew, or perhaps something more adventurous like a DIY project, you may need help storing some old clothes or furniture to make way for your new-found love.

Store That E14 wanted to explore some of the hobbies you might have taken up resulting in you searching for your very own self-storage unit.

DIY Project

With most of us spending more time indoors, you may have taken it upon yourself to change things up a little. It is estimated that searches for DIY ideas have increased by 148% since this time last year and a focus on interiors has skyrocketed since March.

Many have been missing their locals which is why they have taken it upon themselves to build their very own bar. If that is the case, you may perhaps want somewhere to store it now that pubs have re-opened. Rather than it sitting in your garden over the upcoming colder seasons, it could be a good idea to put it in a self-storage unit to avoid any swelling and water absorption.

On a slightly smaller scale, others have been building mini kitchens for their kids and pieces of garden furniture. To avoid damage to all of that hard work you put into making them over lockdown, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to shield them from cracking and breaking in a safe location, ready for another year.

Gym Equipment

All gym and fitness centers were made to close their doors towards the start of lockdown. This created a huge demand for home fitness equipment such as bikes, cross-trainers and running machines. As a result, it was estimated that fitness equipment sales grew by 170% during the outbreak of coronavirus!

Perhaps buying the equipment made your house cluttered. Or maybe you need some room back in your house. You might have heard that gyms are planning to reopen in the next couple of weeks, and are now thinking about storing your gym equipment for the foreseeable, or in case of a second wave. Equipment can be clunky and awkward, which in London when every last sqm of space is precious, you can think of better things to fill your apartment with.

Whatever the situation, placing your belongings, especially those of an expense, in a unit will give you peace of mind and the space back in your home that you might be missing. If you’re local, perhaps our self-storage East London establishment might work for you!

Fishing

Hobbies aren’t always large-scale. Many escaped the lockdown intensity through fishing in public areas. Though fishing equipment isn’t exactly a huge burden to have lying around, you should ask yourself how often you’re going to venture out as the new normality starts to resume. Lockdown is slowly being lifted and we now have so much more freedom. Fishing rods in particular are an expense, and you want to make sure they are locked away safely and securely, ready for the next time you visit the lakes.

If you are one of those people who carried out a hobby during the last couple of months and are now in need of a storage solution, we can certainly help. Don’t stress about finding a home for your DIY project or gym equipment, and whether they’re going to be safe and secure, we can arrange this for you!
