It’s a cruel summer

Dubai’s summer is no joke! Blazing temperatures, relentless sun and humidity can wreak havoc on your outdoor furniture, bikes, sports gear, garden sets and kids' toys. Left unprotected, these items can fade, warp, crack or even rust. But don’t worry! With a little extra care (and the right storage solution), you can keep everything in top shape until the cooler months return.

Before we dive into quick home tips, let’s talk about the ultimate summer safeguard: storing your belongings at The Box’s secure, climate-controlled facilities.

• No heat damage: Our temperature-controlled units prevent warping, melting and material degradation.
• Dust & sand-free: Say goodbye to random sandstorms coating your gear.
• Safe from humidity: Mold and rust don’t stand a chance in our dry, regulated environment.
• Easy access: Need something mid-season? No problem. Our facilities are clean, organized and accessible.

Now, for those items you DO keep at home, here’s how to protect them:

1. Outdoor furniture: Shield from sun & sand

• Cover up: Use high-quality, UV-resistant covers to prevent fading and cracking.
• Move indoors: If possible, store pieces in a garage or shaded area.
• Clean before storing: Remove dirt and apply protective polish to wooden or metal furniture.

2. Bikes & sports equipment: Prevent rust & wear

• Degrease & lubricate: Clean bike chains and gears to avoid corrosion.
• Store vertically: Hang bikes or racks to save space and keep tires from flattening.
• Keep gear dry: Store sports equipment in sealed bins to block humidity.

3. Garden tools & kids’ toys: Keep them like new

• Wash & dry: Sand and moisture can damage plastic—rinse toys and tools before storing.
• Use storage bins: Airtight containers keep pests and dust away.
• Avoid direct sun: Store in a shaded shed or indoors to prevent fading and brittleness.
