Is Summer Heat a Problem for Storage in Highland?

Absolutely. Inside a metal storage unit, temps can soar past 100°F. That heat damages wood, melts plastic, and ruins electronics.



Quick Answer: What Shouldn’t Be Stored in Summer Heat?

Don’t store:

  • Vinyl records, candles, or food
  • Electronics without original packaging
  • Anything that warps, melts, or spoils
