I've laid scrap plywood down in between the rafters. Each rafter is labeled (Christmas, Easter, Mardi Gras, Thanksgiving......). All of my totes are the Rubbermaid which are stackable and no bugs so far. One thing to remember here is not to put anything up there such as candles because they will melt. Next to the attic opening is A/C Filters for easy changing as well as a good stock of paper towels and toilet paper...........the two bulk items that always seem to take up so much room in the bathrooms and the very items you never want to be without.

Also, be careful about the type of boxes you use because when cold weather strikes mice and roaches like to use cardboard boxes as homes during the winter - especially if your storage room is your garage. And it doesn't matter how clean your house/storage room/garage is either. That is a mess to clean up and a lot of things can get ruined. I think most cities have a Dollar Tree or Dollar General and they usually have cheap plastic bins in many sizes. Also, after Christmas sales almost always have plastic storage bins and you can get them for a great price. Great tips!
