Şile is a seaside district on the Black Sea coast, framed by its lighthouse, castle and forests. Many of its homes are used as summer houses, and in the winter months, when they stand empty, the humid Black Sea air can damage the belongings inside.
Because Şile is far from the city center, moves from Şile need to be planned in advance. Troy Depo starts with an on-site survey, measures the volume of your belongings on the spot, plans the move so it can be done in a single trip, and stores your belongings in our partner warehouses on Istanbul's Asian Side.
How Much Does It Cost to Store Your Summer House Belongings Off-Season?
Who Needs Household Storage in Şile?
Summer house owners
Moving the furniture, textiles and electronics from your summer house into storage when the season ends reduces the risk of moisture damage and theft over the winter. For details, see our article on seasonal storage.
People settling in Şile permanently
Families moving from the city to Şile can keep their belongings in storage until the new home is ready or renovated.
Guesthouses and small businesses
For business items that sit unused off-season, such as garden furniture, beds and textiles, storage is a way to free up space over the winter.
Weekend home owners
Families with weekend homes in Şile's forest villages often prefer to move valuable items into storage when they close the house for long stretches in winter. Since moisture and pest risks can be higher in homes in wooded areas, it is important to pack belongings clean and completely dry.
Şile Neighborhoods and Housing
Besides the district center, Şile's coastal settlements such as Ağva, Kumbaba and Sahilköy are full of summer houses, guesthouses and detached homes. Further inland there are forest-ringed villages and weekend homes. In a district whose population multiplies in summer, many houses stay closed in winter, and the belongings inside sit unattended for long periods.
Planning a move from Şile before the peak of the summer season or after it ends cuts down on road traffic and waiting times. For distant settlements such as Ağva, we recommend scheduling the move for the early morning.
A Typical Storage Process in Şile
The example below was prepared to illustrate a situation we often encounter in Şile.
Imagine a family with a summer house in Ağva. Knowing the house will stand empty over the winter once the season ends, they want to put their textiles, electronics and valuable furniture into storage. Because of the distance, the move is planned for the early morning and in a single trip. Their belongings spend the winter in a storage facility away from moisture and return to the summer house at the start of summer.

Humidity and Long-Term Storage in Şile
Humidity can stay high year-round in homes along the Black Sea coast, so we take extra care against mold and odor with belongings coming from Şile. We recommend packing textiles and wooden furniture completely dry and choosing humidity-controlled areas for long-term storage. We have collected our recommendations on this topic in our article on humidity, mold and pests in storage.
How Do Your Belongings Get to Storage?
- On-site survey: We see your belongings at your address in Şile, measure the volume and note the moving conditions. The survey is free of charge.
- Quote and plan: We prepare a written quote that lists storage, moving, packing and, if applicable, insurance as separate items.
- Packing and moving: Furniture is disassembled and protected, fragile items are wrapped one by one, boxes are numbered and your belongings are moved to the warehouse.
- Delivery: When the storage period ends, just give us a date; your belongings are delivered to the address of your choice.
The Difference Between a Private Room and a Container
The difference really comes down to one question: will you need to access your belongings during the storage period? If so, choose a lockable private room you can enter during business hours; if not, the more affordable container storage. Access to containers is limited and available by appointment.
How Are Your Belongings Protected in Storage?
The warehouses we work with are facilities that meet standards for security, climate control and pest control. For belongings staying a long time, the main risk is moisture-related mold and odor, which is why we recommend well-ventilated areas for wooden furniture and textiles. If you want extra peace of mind, there is an insured household storage option.
From Home or From the Workplace?
The need for storage can come from a home or a workplace. We explain space requirements by number of rooms for homes on our home storage page, and the process for office moves and renovations on our office storage page.
