If I were doing it again, I'd do the upgraded stairs. Still wouldn't store anything else. It's really awkward to get stuff in and out, and kind of dangerous as well, and we're still relatively young (62) and active. Still takes 2 of us to get things up and down. I would never recommend going up there when you are alone. If you live alone, good idea to ask a friend/neighbor to stand below to hand things to.

You will probably find that you devise ingenious ways to store other stuff in your garage. Our beach chairs hang on a hook, as do bikes and garden tools.

what are upgraded stairs?
