Not storing your boat properly can lead to expensive damage, lower its value, and cause a lot of headaches. RV Storage Fort, located at 1314 Red Cedar Circle, Fort Collins, CO 80524, is the top choice for boat storage. We offer safe, easy-to-reach self storage that protects your boat all year long.

Why Fort Collins Boat Owners Need Dedicated Storage

Fort Collins weather can be tough on boats, making professional storage very important for keeping your boat in good shape. The local weather, with its harsh winters and sudden storms, means you need strong protection for your boat.

Fort Collins winters are very cold, snowy, windy, and often cloudy. The cold season lasts about 3.4 months, from November 20 to March 1, with daily high temperatures usually staying below 49°F. December is the coldest month, with average temperatures from 20°F to 41°F. Snow falls for a big part of the year, from October 16 to April 24, with March usually getting the most snow. This long period of cold and snow means water can freeze inside your boat's pipes, engine, and other parts. If this happens, it can cause serious damage like cracked engine blocks or broken plumbing. Our professional storage helps prevent these problems, making sure your boat stays safe from the weather, even after you've prepared it for winter.

Beyond the cold, Fort Collins is in "Hail Alley," an area known for having the most large hailstorms in North America. In the past year, Fort Collins had many reports of hail. Hailstones can be small, like a quarter, or as big as a baseball or softball in northern Colorado, causing a lot of damage to roofs, siding, windows, and vehicles. The time when hail is most common is from April to June, which is when many people are using their boats. If you leave your boat outside without cover, it could get badly damaged by hail. Covered or indoor storage is a must to avoid expensive repairs and possible insurance claims from these frequent and strong storms. This kind of protection is a huge benefit, directly helping you avoid big costs from local weather threats.

Getting your boat ready for winter (called winterization) is super important, and where you store it plays a big part. If you don't winterize your boat correctly, it could get "irreparable damage or even sinking," including cracked engines, frozen pipes, damaged parts, battery problems, and mold. Your boat's vinyl seats can also get hard in freezing temperatures and crack easily if you step on them. It's also important to know that many boat insurance policies require winterization.

Where you store your boat greatly affects how much you can enjoy the boating season. RV Storage Fort is perfectly located for getting to Fort Collins' most popular lakes.
