Dickinson, ND families play hard across all four seasons — hunting and football in fall, hockey and skiing in winter, baseball and fishing in spring, and cycling camping and outdoor sports through summer. Managing all that gear requires more than a single garage can provide.
Dickinson's active outdoor culture means families here accumulate sports and recreation equipment across all four seasons of North Dakota's demanding climate. Fall brings hunting season with all of its equipment demands alongside football and the beginning of indoor sport seasons. Winter is hockey ice skating skiing snowmobiling and winter outdoor recreation. Spring opens the fishing season and the start of baseball and outdoor cycling. Summer brings camping hiking water sports and the full range of warm-weather outdoor activities. Managing all of this equipment in a single garage without a systematic storage plan is a constant losing battle. A dedicated storage unit at Storage Unit of Dickinson gives Dickinson's active families the organized space to manage every season's gear properly and keep the home functional through every month of the year.
Dickinson's extreme seasonal climate creates real and specific risks for sports equipment stored without proper care. Sub-zero winter temperatures crack rubber components in cycling gear make plastic brittle in helmets and protective pads and permanently damage the lithium batteries in GPS watches cycling computers and electronic sports accessories. North Dakota's extremely dry winter air dries out leather goods including baseball gloves hunting gear and football equipment faster than almost anywhere else in the country. Spring's rapid humidity increase after a dry winter creates condensation risks for electronics stored in spaces that are transitioning between temperature extremes. And summer heat affects composite materials in bats rackets and frames. A climate-controlled unit at Storage Unit of Dickinson protects gear through every one of these seasonal transitions — call (701) 690-5512 to find your unit.
Hockey and ice skating equipment: Dry all blades thoroughly after the last ice session of the season — rust develops rapidly on wet blades even in storage. Apply blade guards. Air out all padding and equipment before storing in bags. Hunting equipment: Clean and oil all firearms and store in appropriate secured cases. Clean dry and store all hunting clothing before storage. Clean and store decoys and field equipment properly. Baseball and softball: Condition leather gloves with glove oil — North Dakota's dry air desiccates leather faster than most climates. Clean all cleats and batting equipment. Cycling: Clean the drivetrain thoroughly lubricate the chain remove all batteries from electronics and hang the bike vertically. Slightly deflate tires for storage to prevent over-inflation damage. Skiing and snowboarding: Apply a storage wax to all ski and snowboard bases before summer storage. Store in bags or covers standing upright or hanging — never flat under weight.
