Climate-Controlled Storage Units in Salt Lake City

Utah’s seasons are stunning. But they’re also dramatic. When summer hits Salt Lake City, things heat up fast. Then, just when the sunscreen goes back in the drawer, the chill sneaks in and snow flurries arrive. This is where climate-controlled storage comes in handy.

What Is Climate-Controlled Storage and Why It Matters

A climate-controlled storage unit is a temperature- and humidity-managed space designed to handle Utah’s wide weather swings. In Salt Lake City, summer highs often reach the 90s, while winter lows dip below freezing.

Without temperature control, wood can warp, fabrics can trap moisture, and electronics can falter after months of exposure to extreme conditions. Climate-controlled storage helps by maintaining steadier temperature and humidity levels—typically between 50°F and 82°F—compared to standard units.

These spaces are often located indoors, helping reduce exposure to dust, wind, and outdoor grime while keeping your belongings in a more consistent environment year-round.

Storing Seasonal Gear in Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City residents know how quickly the weather can change. Here’s what locals often rotate in and out of storage as the seasons shift:

Summer Gear to Store in the Off-Season

• Camping tents and sleeping bags

• Inflatable paddleboards or kayaks

• Fishing rods and tackle boxes

• Summer sports gear such as bikes or baseball gloves

• Outdoor cushions and patio furniture covers

• Window A/C units or portable fans

• Gardening tools and planters (cleaned and dried)

Winter Gear to Store in the Off-Season

• Skis, snowboards, and poles

• Snowshoes and winter boots

• Sleds and snow tubes

• Heavy coats, scarves, and gloves

• Electric blankets and space heaters

• Winter tires (if not kept in the garage)

• Indoor humidifiers or heaters not in use

How to Use Climate-Controlled Storage in Salt Lake City

Pack for the Season
Wrap fabrics and clothing in breathable cotton covers instead of plastic, which can trap moisture. Use sturdy plastic bins instead of cardboard to handle humidity changes. For electronics, use original boxes when possible—the foam inserts help cushion against vibration and temperature shifts.

Organize With Care
Stack heavier items on the bottom and leave a small walkway so you can reach items easily. Keep seasonal gear near the front—skis in summer, camping gear in winter—for simple swap-outs.

Label Everything
Clearly label bins and include the room each belongs to. A quick photo inventory or list on your phone makes it easy to find what you need months later.

Check In Occasionally
Even in climate-controlled spaces, it’s smart to visit a few times a year. Dust surfaces, replace moisture absorbers, and make sure everything stays tidy.

Salt Lake City’s changing seasons add to its charm—but they can also challenge your storage setup. With climate-controlled storage, you can keep your gear, decor, and household items organized and ready for whatever the weather brings next.

Features and amenities vary by location, facility, and unit. “Climate-controlled” and related terms (such as air-conditioned, heated, or humidistat-equipped) describe storage spaces designed to help maintain more consistent temperature or humidity levels compared to non-climate-controlled units. Public Storage does not guarantee temperature or humidity ranges. Availability, features, and unit types may differ by location, facility, and unit. Please confirm with your facility whether specific climate-controlled features are available on units at that location.
