Storage tents can be very handy if you are the creative-type. Sure, they can be used to store stuff – since they are rightfully named storage tents. However, tent structures can also be used for so many other things. This is mostly due to the fact that they are extremely versatile and customizable. You can get just the storage tent you are looking for to fill your needs.
So, what are some creative uses for a storage tent? You’ve got to check these ideas out.
1. Kids birthday party
Kid after kid running through your house after getting all sugared-up from the cake? Not happening. Instead, take the party outside. Rent a storage tent for your kids birthday party! This will allow the kids – and your other guests – to remain under the shade while the kids run around and enjoy the outdoors. In addition to shade, the tent will also protect the gifts from the elements, as well as the food. In fact, a storage tent can prove to be a very helpful tool for birthday parties.
2. Quiet retreat
Do you ever wish you could escape your house and go where no one can find you – even if it is just for 10 minutes? With a storage tent, you can! Spruce it up to be a comfortable escape for you or whoever needs it. Add a cushiony chair or loveseat, soft rugs and blankets, books and magazines, etc. And, by all means, keep the door locked!
3. Hobby spot
If you have hobbies that you like to do, but don’t really have the space to work on them, then a storage tent can be very helpful. Create your own hobby shop in the tent. Whether it’s crafting, painting, sewing, etc., this can be a space where you can work on your hobby whenever you want. Not having a convenient spot available can make you less likely to want to spend time on your hobby.
4. Man-cave
Have you always wanted a man-cave or a space to hang out with all your guy friends? If you don’t have space in your house to create one, why not use a storage tent. This will provide you with a space to transform into the manliest man-cave ever – without having to worry about what your wife or significant other thinks because it’s not in the house!
5. Woodshop
Turn a storage tent into a woodshop. Find time to whittle wood, build furniture, or whatever you choose to do with it. A storage tent provides enough room to maneuver the equipment to build and provides ample space to store tools and machinery.
6. Backyard party spot
Is your backyard the hot party spot? For a lot of people, when social gatherings occur, the kitchen or backyard seems to be the final mingling spot for all their friends and family. If you can’t build a backyard tiki hut, then consider using a storage tent for your backyard party.
You will have a space for your friends and family to relax while they are visiting. You could consider adding a bar, lighting, and maybe even a refrigerator to keep your drinks chilled. Throw up some neon lights and some fun signs and create a fun hangout space.
7. Poolside cabana
Do you have a pool? Why not create a poolside cabana? Having a cabana means that you have a place for you and your guests to enjoy the great outdoors, including the pool, while also being able to relax in the shade and cool down. Lay back in lounge chairs within the cabana and read a book, finish a crossword puzzle, or just close your eyes for a moment. It’s the best of both worlds.
8. Store collectibles
If you are a collector, you will likely find yourself running out of space one day – if you haven’t already. Using a storage tent, you can create a safe space for your collectibles to remain. In fact, you can always use shelving or display cases to show off your collected items. After all, what sense does it make to have some great collector’s items if you don’t have a place to show them off?
9. Carport
Have you always wanted a garage? Or, maybe you have always had one, but it has been too cluttered to actually use it for your automobiles. If you are looking for space where you can park your car so it will remain clean and free of outdoor debris, then you need a carport.
Storage tents can work very well for this use and provide a lot of perks. Your car will remain clean longer, you will have adry place to get out of your car should it be raining, and you can continue to use your garage for storage – or whatever else you are using it for. In addition, you will have a shaded space to handle any necessary maintenance.
Or – here is an idea: clean out your garage and put some order to the things you decide to keep. Then, arrange them in the storage tent. Since your garage is attached to your house, use it for what it was designed for – to park your car!
10. A shed
You can use your storage tent as a shed for lawn equipment or other outdoor needs. For instance, you can store your lawn mower, weed eater, gas can, gardening tools, etc. In addition, it’s a great place for bicycles, scooters, and the like. It’s not good to leave these items outdoors and exposed to the elements, but many of these items you cannot store in your home. Therefore, by using a storage tent as a shed, you can eliminate the need to keep the items unexposed.
As stated, storage tents are incredibly versatile and can provide you with a lot of good and helpful uses. Whether you are looking for a place to find relaxation or separation from the household, if you are looking for a place to get better versed on your hobby, or if you just want a dry place to change your oil – a storage tent has you covered. Literally.
