Hello everyone,
Our future house has a cold roof. Since only certain items should be stored there, we want to get special storage boxes that provide protection against external temperature fluctuations as well as moisture. Regular plastic boxes that we already have are not very suitable for this purpose. Can you recommend any specific boxes that you use yourselves?

So I just checked our current basement again. We would like to store the following in the cold roof space:
I haven’t received a quote from our drywall contractor yet. I’m curious to see how much the whole thing will cost.
- Christmas decorations and closed storage boxes
- Cardboard boxes
- Suitcases
- Clothing in closed storage boxes
- Books
- Furniture
- TV stands
- Wrapping paper
- Blankets
- Small items

I’m not sure if this was mentioned in this thread, but I think it was also noted that insulating or finishing a cold roof isn’t always a good idea because of air exchange and mold issues or something along those lines? I can’t recall the details, but the argument seemed convincing to me.

I can’t remember the details exactly, but the reasoning seemed plausible to me. It’s important to install the vapor barrier correctly for that to work. I’ve also read that here on the forum.

Wrapping paper in the garden shed. This is getting interesting. So far, we’ve kept it in a lockable box. In the future, we will store it elsewhere. But that unfortunately doesn’t answer my question about whether a garden shed or an insulated roof—which would be a cold roof—is better.
If you don’t have a basement, you just have to get creative.
