Best bet is plastic containers with covers, Not cardboard. Cardboard has glue on them, and rodents and bugs like eating. Best bet for storing in attic is solid stuff like dishes, small furniture, but not wreaths etc. I learned a lesson!!! hehehehe

The builder used cardboard in my new Holly to keep the attic insulation in place. Good, bad or cheap? Same goes with my brother's house up the street.

Looks like it's ok, but if you could replace with plastic or thin plywood, would be better. The cardboard looks like there is no glue on it. Are they nailed?
