BOAT STORAGE NEAR WIRTZ
Wirtz residents and Smith Mountain Lake property owners frequently need additional room for boats, trailers and recreational equipment.

STORAGE FOR BOATING EQUIPMENT
Boat ownership involves more than storing the boat itself. Life jackets, fishing equipment, water toys and maintenance supplies can quickly take over a garage, basement or lake house.
An enclosed storage unit may provide additional space for approved boating and recreational items such as:
• Life jackets
• Fishing rods and tackle
• Water skis
• Wakeboards
• Tubes and towable equipment
• Boat cushions
• Removable boat seats
• Coolers
• Dock accessories
• Boat covers

Fuel, gasoline, propane, oil, flammable liquids, hazardous chemicals and other prohibited materials may not be stored.
SEASONAL AND WINTER BOAT STORAGE
Many Smith Mountain Lake boat owners need storage after the primary boating season ends.
Outdoor boat storage can help free up space at home during the fall and winter while keeping the boat and trailer in the lake area.
Before placing a boat into seasonal storage, owners should consider:
• Cleaning and drying the boat
• Removing food, trash and personal belongings
• Removing or protecting electronics
• Draining water systems as appropriate
• Following the manufacturer’s winterization recommendations
• Checking the trailer and tires
• Securing a properly fitted cover
• Removing fuel or other prohibited materials when required
• Maintaining appropriate insurance coverage
Storage City does not winterize boats or provide mechanical services. Boat owners remain responsible for properly preparing and maintaining their watercraft while it is stored.
MONTH-TO-MONTH BOAT STORAGE
Storage City offers flexible month-to-month rentals.
This allows customers to rent a parking space for seasonal storage or continue renting throughout the year without signing a long-term lease.
The rental continues until the customer provides proper notice to vacate in accordance with the Storage City Rental Agreement.
BOAT STORAGE VERSUS KEEPING YOUR BOAT AT HOME
Storing a boat at home may appear convenient, but it can consume a large portion of a driveway, garage or yard.
Neighborhood rules, homeowners’ association restrictions and limited residential space may also affect where a boat can be parked.
Using a designated outdoor parking space may help customers:
• Free up driveway space
• Reclaim garage space
• Reduce neighborhood parking concerns
• Keep the trailer away from lawn and landscaping areas
• Maintain more usable space around a lake house
• Keep boating equipment organized in one location
Customers should select a location based on their home, lake property, preferred boat ramp and normal travel route.
