BARN LOFT STORAGE CONTAINER IDEAS
Taking stuff to the barn this weekend had us wondering how best to use our storage. Well have questions about other types of storage ideas (a few of you have already found some great ideas!) but for this first post about it, we want to ask about storage containers... |
| Loft in barn |
These are the two lofts in our new barn, one at each end of the building. They are four feet deep, sixteen feet long and have about six feet clearance above. Theyre even big enough to get up there and walk around. We wanted them so that we could use them for storage of items that wouldnt fit in the house, rarely used items, for example, holiday decorations, extra dishes and supplies, etc.

So our question is this; does anyone have any advice for storing things in an environment like this? Obviously we know cardboard is a no-no. We want something that will keep the things inside as safe as possible from bugs, rodents, etc., and that wont collapse if we stack things on top of them.
We immediately thought of Rubbermaid storage totes, but there are so many different types...different types of lids, taller, shorter, wider, etc. We looked at the Sterilite brand at the store the other day but they seem kinda flimsy to hold up for several years of storage.

Any storage suggestions?
