A self-storage unit can be the best option for many people, as there isn't always room enough in the home to safely store sporting goods, out-of-season clothes and accessories, tools and landscaping equipment, and even collectibles. A self-storage unit can keep those items organized and protected, while also opening up room in the home's garage or basement. You may even find that you can purge items you no longer need if you use a self-storage unit, as this allows you to easily go through all your belongings, taking stock of what things are outdated, unusable, and ready for the bin.

Shade sails are a great alternative to an awning or other such covering, as the fabric material makes the covering very homey and inviting, and allows for some versatility in how they're stretched over an outdoor space. You can adjust the tilt and location of shade sails more readily than other fixtures for when the sun moves across the sky or you want protection from wind or a light rain.

It goes without saying that Australia's brutal summer climate means sources of shade are worth their weight in gold, and homeowners across the country have awnings installed in their gardens, porches and patios to escape the worst of the heat and sunlight. However, a permanently fixed awning may not be so welcome in the cooler winter months; for this reason, retractable cassette awnings are a popular choice. These automatic awnings are stored within a protective, wall-mounted cassette when not in use and are automatically unfurled or unrolled when activated, providing wide areas of shade in a manner of seconds.
