Sledges, toboggans and snow tubes in summer — where to put them
In families with children, winter gear piles up fast — sledges, toboggans, snow tubes, snow pushers, children's skis and poles. During the winter months they are in constant use, but from March to November they take up precious space at home and get in the way.
Putting them on the balcony or in the cellar seems straightforward, yet unsuitable conditions shorten the lifespan of even the toughest materials. The best solution is a storage unit where your winter gear waits safely until the next season.
Sledges, toboggans and snow tubes only need a small amount of space: see a small storage unit from 0.8 m², enough to hold a full winter kit for one child.
How to prepare winter gear for summer storage
Wooden and metal sledges
- Clean thoroughly and dry. Moisture is the enemy of both wood and metal.
- Treat metal parts with anti-corrosion oil.
- Inspect wooden slats — sand down cracks and treat with protective oil.
- Store in a dry place with humidity below 70 %.
Plastic toboggans and sledges
- Wash and dry. Plastic is more resilient, but high humidity can cause mould on fabric seat pads.
- Protect from direct sunlight — UV radiation makes plastic brittle and prone to cracking.
Snow tubes (inflatable)
- Deflate, fold and store in a cool, dry place.
- Protect from sunlight and sharp objects. Wrap in a fabric bag.
Where not to store winter gear
- Open balcony — sun, rain and temperature swings damage all materials.
- Damp basement — wood swells, metal rusts, mould forms on textiles.
- Garage — summer heat degrades rubber and plastic parts of snow tubes.
