Before you start you’ll want to empty everything out, you’ll then be able to see what type of storage you need depending on how you want to use the space. You might want to sort as you go, the three piles usually include keep, donate, and bin.

Now looking at the keep pile it’s deciding what to do with them. You’ll want to create a plan. You know all the items that you want to store, you’ll also want to consider how to keep them in good condition. You will spend more money without a plan.

Bulky seasonal items can be protected using canvas bags, tucking a dryer sheet in before closing up will deter bugs. Everything will need a place.

Tools should have a toolbox/drawer, garden equipment should have hooks/holders on the wall.

Any liquids should be on a shelf or in a cabinet.
