Owning a boat is a wonderful luxury that allows for spontaneous fishing trips on the lake, summer boating excursions, and other fun water activities. But like any great luxury, there are some responsibilities that come with owning a boat. One such responsibility is ensuring that the boat has the right boat storage to keep it safe and secure. Before choosing any boat storage location, you need to ask yourself these three questions.

• “Is This Facility Reliable?” An easy way to tell whether or not a boat storage facility is reliable is by finding out how long they have been around. In addition to that, don’t be afraid to talk with the people working at the facility as well as ask current clients about their experience. When you find a facility with good word-of-mouth, it’s a great indication that they are worth trusting.
• “Is The Facility in a Good Location?” In general, most boat owners will want to store their boat in an area that is neither too far from their home nor too far from a body of water. Secondly, you will want to make sure that the facility is centered in a safe location. Check out other things around the storage facility and determine whether or not the area is secure enough for your boat.
• “Is There Easy Access?” You will want to know if the facility allows for easy access to your boat. Stop by the facility to ask any questions about accessibility and get a feel for how they operate. You want a place that safely stores your boat while also making it convenient for you to access it.

They don’t call our region the City Between the Lakes for nothing. Many people love to flock to Wylie and take advantage of all the recreational opportunities our area’s two lakes have to offer. So there are always plenty of boats and recreational vehicles in the area. But what happens when that weekend on the lake or camping trip comes to an end? Where do locales and summer renters go to find a boat & RV storage facility that they can trust?

The answer is Party Barn Boat & RV Storage. At Party Barn Boat & RV Storage, we make tucking away boats and recreational vehicles until they are needed again extremely easy. Our well-maintained facility has everything outdoor recreation enthusiasts need to store their precious gear. For example, the road to the boat and RV storage area is protected by 12-inches of crushed asphalt and the gate is operated using a code.

Consequently, getting into and out of the facility after a morning, afternoon or evening soaker is never a problem. The road will hold up under the pounding rain and if it’s still pouring when you arrive on site, you’ll be able to use the code to access the secured areas without ever having to get your feet wet.

On top of that, our 5+-acre boat and RV storage area has a variety of uncovered, covered, open and enclosed options to choose from. But perhaps best of all, they’re located within a few minutes of the city’s famous lakes. So, you’ll be able to avoid weather related problems other boat and RV owners face as well as get to the lakes before anyone else. And we all know that when it is prime fishing or camping season, no one wants to be the last guy or gal to the party.

Storing your boat or RV is one of the best ways to keep it safe when not in use. There are actually other things you can do aside from just putting your vehicle in storage that will help ensure it is protected. Here are some storage tips for boat & RV storage you can use to help your vehicle stay in great shape while it is in our storage facility.

#1. Clean the Vehicle First

Bugs, tar and bird droppings can all cause damage to your boat or RV’s finish if they are allowed to set. Protect your finish by washing your vehicle thoroughly before bringing it to storage.

#2. Prevent Rodent Damage

Rats, mice and other rodents may attempt to nest inside your vehicle if it sits too long. Make it difficult for them to enter by plugging any holes in the bottom of your boat or RV. Repair damaged sections and plug pipe openings by stuffing their ends with steel or bronze wool.

#3. Prevent UV Damage

Here at Party Barn Boat & RV Storage, we offer outdoor parking spaces for boats and RVs. As such, your vehicles could be subject to UV rays unless you take precautionary measures. We recommend placing a cover over top of boats, and using shades on RV windows to keep sunlight out.

#4. Protect Tires from Dry Rot

The odds of tires dry rotting also increases whenever your vehicle is exposed to sunlight. Purchase tire covers or wrap them with a tarp to protect them from damage.

#5. Disconnect your Battery

Your battery is more likely to corrode if you leave it connected while in storage. To extend its lifespan, disconnect your battery and clean the cables thoroughly before leaving it with us.

By following these storage tips, your boat or RV will remain in the best shape possible while it is being stored. To find out more about boat or RV storage, contact us.
