It’s summertime! And as they say, the livin’ is easy. There are so many fun things to do now that the days are longer and the weather is warmer…but a lot of those things require plenty of gear that has to be kept track of and stored somewhere. Here are four ways that you can use lockers to keep your summer more organized and stress-free!
1. At the pool
This summer has been a scorcher for many places around the nation…which probably (hopefully!) means that you’re spending lots of time cooling off at the pool. But that also means that you’re probably spending lots of time trying to track down all of your swimming gear—swimsuits, flip flops, sunscreen, floaties, goggles, towels, pool toys…the list goes on. Wouldn’t it be nice to have all of that gear organized in one convenient location?
Our Kids Lockers fit the bill perfectly. Each features an upper shelf (perfect for storing sunscreen, goggles, toys, etc.), hooks for hanging bags, totes, towels and suits, and the locker bottom provides space to stash your shoes/flip flops.

2. To store camping/fishing gear

There’s no better way to spend your summer than by getting outside and enjoying nature. Getting ready for a camping or fishing trip can be tricky, especially if your gear is spread out all over your basement or garage. Why not invest in a locker or two to organize all of your gear in one place? Upper shelves are a great place to store bug spray, first-aid kits, tackle boxes and hats, use the hooks to hang outerwear, ponchos and backpacks, and the bottom of the locker is a great place to store fishing poles, air mattresses, hiking boots, tents and sleeping bags.
3. In your garden
If you were born with a green thumb, then you are most likely enjoying the warm weather and the opportunity it gives you to spend time beautifying your yard. Gardening comes with plenty of tools, so what better way to keep track of them all than by storing them in a locker? There’s plenty of space to hold your sunhat, gardening boots, gloves, trowels, trimmers, fertilizer and more.

4. To hold summer toys
For many, summertime equals play time. There are so many fun things to do outside, from playing baseball and tennis to horseshoes, Frisbee and golf. All of that fun gear can become not-so-fun to store…so why not check out our wide selection of lockers and find some that fit you r specific hobbies? We have lockers specifically for golf and baseball/softball gear. Our Ball Storage Lockers are an ideal way to keep all of your various basketballs, footballs, soccer balls and volleyballs contained. And our Stadium Lockers are a perfect way to store those various toys that always seem to be lying around your garage or backyard.
