Default Storage above the garage

I put three levels of shelves on either side of the walk area. We have a high pitched roof. I keep things made of metal and wood up there. I do have some Christmas decorations and other things that might mildew so I put them in plastic bags and put them in totes. We have a set of golf cart tires that are for our golf cart that a friends gave us up there as well. Two sets of extra golf clubs and bags for when we have guest. They seem to be okay even after nine years. One has a pot of de-humidity jell in it because I don't want to take a chance on those items for my Easter decoration to get musty. If you have a lower head clearance like most of my friends than I would highly suggest that you wear a helmet when you are up there because the nails from the shingles with hit your head every time. Remember, it does get well above 100 degrees up there. I also put a fan in the peak to keep the air moving after it hits 100 degrees. The ceiling in the garage and lani also did crack, but that was from the settling of the house since it was brand new. That is an easy fix too.
