Our 9’ tree can go to the garage, with no problem. The concern is our Department 56. The fluctuation in garage temp could do damage.

We do have a large closet in master, putting them on top shelves is good for a few years, but down the road climbing up that 8’ ladder will no longer be easy. Plus they are heavy, once multiple are in a box. Thinking of a small climate control storage.

Our collection spans 44 years. Parents started the collection, and as each moved out their favorite pieces, have traveled, and added on.

Our granddaughter just moved to her first apartment, her favorite pieces from great grandparents, in tow. So really don’t need advice just get rid of them.

So looking for those who have safely or bad experience of storage. Thanks in advance
I strongly recommend using a climate-controlled self storage unit. There are many around the Villages. We use Southern Self Storage near Walmart on 466. Pick one that is convenient for you. You will find that you will be putting in other heat sensitive items in the unit also. The heat here in the summer can definitely do damage to items. You will not be sorry. It is worth the cost to protect your special items.
