Thanks!

Storage space is limited for all of us. Far as I know no one has a basement, I so miss mine.
Where to store things? Realize heat rises. Your garage, hot as it is, is cooler than your attic.
Access to the attic is also limited. Most of the fold down staircases are not very safe. Power staircases are available for like $3,000. Wrapping them in plastic? Fabric, old bedsheets are a better choice. Depending on the plastic the luggage is made of and the plastic used to wrap they can amalgamate-stick to each other.
Have you considered under the bed?
