We have 2 full size freezers in our garage. One we purchased when we lived up north and had to worry about very cold temperatures the other we purchased a few years after moving to Florida. We use one for vegetables and the other for meat, we have whole cows butchered and a cow will fill up a full size freezer. Both of our freezers are Frigidaire freezers.

The thing you need to do is look at the owners manual for whatever freezer you are thinking of purchasing and look at the operating temperature range. The upper end of that for our freezers is 110 F. Our garage has never gotten that hot, even on the hottest days of the summer. The hottest it has gotten, in our garage is 102 F. That was summer day when my spouse and I had both returned at the same time so the car engines were both cooling simultaneously.

Having a freezer in the garage in Florida is much easier than in the North as you don't have to worry about the low temperature rating, at least not for most freezers.
