At the end of the season (usually October/November) the hotel schedules a date for us to clear the terrace. Our driver arrives with a truck, we inventory what's stored, and pack everything carefully — covers go on the LuminAir installations, furniture in blankets and stretch wrap, fragile items marked separately. At return (spring) the same in reverse: everything back neatly to the right spot on the terrace.

The complete terrace furniture — lounge sets, tables, chairs, parasols. Plus the LuminAir atmosphere installations (illuminated outdoor modules) with their covers and base brackets. For a hotel like DoubleTree we're talking several tens of cubic metres — more than an average household, organised so we can return per item what belongs where.

A hotel can't organise winter storage itself — no rooftop space, no climate-controlled facility, no time for logistics during an already busy operational year. External storage with us means: one date, one driver, one appointment in spring, and it's all sorted. Insurance included during transport and storage. No space-hunting, no key-sharing, no negotiating with multiple suppliers.

Hospitality is recurring, predictable volume — no one-off customer, but a seasonal cycle we can plan in advance. For us that's ideal: we know in October a big load is coming in, in March that same load is going back out. That brings stability to our hub capacity and long-term trust with customers like DoubleTree.
