Thanksgiving Prep Made Easy: Unlock Space with Self-Storage!

Admin | November 9, 2025 @ 12:00 AM

Using self-storage before Thanksgiving can be a smart move to declutter your home for holiday gatherings or store seasonal items. Here’s a quick guide based on current information:


  • Why Use Self-Storage for Thanksgiving?
  • Clear Space for Guests: Free up room for hosting by storing non-essential furniture, decor, or extra items.
  • Store Seasonal Items: Safely keep fall decorations, extra kitchenware, or holiday supplies until needed.
  • Temporary Needs: If you’re traveling or moving around Thanksgiving, storage can secure your belongings short-term.


  • Tips for Using Self-Storage:
  • Choose the Right Size: A 5x10 or 10x10 unit is often enough for boxes, small furniture, or seasonal items.
  • Pack Smart: Use sturdy boxes, label clearly, and stack efficiently. Protect fragile items with bubble wrap or blankets.
  • Timing: Book early—Thanksgiving is a busy season for storage facilities as people prepare for holidays or moves. Many facilities, just like Freedom Storage of Rutland, note increased demand in November.
  • Security: Look for facilities with CCTV, and individual unit locks for peace of mind.
  • Cost: Prices vary by location and unit size.


  • Thanksgiving-Specific Considerations:
  • Holiday Hours: Some facilities may have limited hours on Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 27, 2025). Verify access times in advance.
  • Move-In Timing: Aim to move items in early November to avoid last-minute stress. Facilities like Freedom Storage suggest planning 1-2 weeks ahead.
  • Inventory: Keep a list of stored items to easily retrieve what you need post-Thanksgiving (e.g., Christmas decor).


Freedom Storage provides 24/7 access, CCTV footage, and no reservation is required.

Drive-up units are ideal for frequent access, but Freedom Storage also offers indoor options for smaller units.
