If you live an active, sporty lifestyle, your home might burst at the seams with things like:
- Camping gear.
- Skis.
- Kayak or canoe.
- Hockey equipment.
- Balls, rackets, and nets.
- Bikes.
Keeping these items inside the house may not be the best option.
They’re much too big to safely store out of the way. Plus, there’s a good chance they could get damaged.
That’s why personal storage for your outdoor gear and sporting equipment from Multi Storage is your best solution.
Unit sizes to fit all your recreational goods
At Multi Storage, we feature a variety of unit sizes for you to comfortably and safely store all your sporting equipment.
- STORING SOCCER BALLS & HOCKEY GEAR? Use a 5’ x 5’ unit.
- NEED A PLACE FOR CAMPING GEAR? A 5’ x 10’ unit is right for you.
- LOOKING TO STORE BIKES, ATVs, & OTHER OUTDOOR VEHICLES? Check out a 10’ x 20’ unit.
You’ll never have to worry about cramming your stuff inside a unit that’s too small or using a storage location that’s way too big.
Instead, all your sporting goods – from the smallest hockey puck to the longest kayak – will be stored safely, properly, and securely.

Secure your investment
As you well know, sporting equipment can be pricey.
The last thing you want is someone breaking into your home or garage and stealing an expensive set of skis or mountain bikes.
Our storage facilities in Hamilton and Stoney Creek are equipped with tough security features designed to keep your belongings safe:
- Gated premises.
- Security fences and lights.
- Video monitoring.
- Personal security access codes.
At Multi-Storage, we believe you should enjoy total peace of mind knowing your items are 100% secure the moment you leave them with us.
That’s why we prioritize security above all else.
Protect weather-sensitive outdoor gear with climate controlled storage
Extreme heat or extreme cold can play havoc with certain sporting equipment. For example:
- Heat expansion and contraction can warp wooden tennis rackets.
- Cold temperatures or moisture can rust a bicycle chain.
- Kayaks can fade or become bent in hot temperatures.
- Sleeping bags or tents can become moldy in the wrong climate conditions.
- Ski wax can lose its effectiveness if it becomes too hot.
As mentioned earlier in this blog, high-end outdoor gear can be expensive, especially if it’s made with delicate materials, fabric, or even metals.
With climate controlled storage available in our Stoney Creek location, you won’t have to worry about Mother Nature impacting your sporting goods.
