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?

Unfortunately not. However, good outdoor storage boxes that at least protect against moisture are available. We found good outdoor containers from IKEA and OBI. So far, the items stored inside have held up well.

Oh, I would be interested in those too... What are they called at IKEA?

I’m not sure which of the previous posters meant this, but our cold roof is full of IKEA "Samla" boxes. You can buy matching lids for them, as well as clips to keep them securely closed. This works perfectly for us.

Okay, those are the standard storage boxes from IKEA. I wouldn’t have expected the items inside to stay dry given the temperature fluctuations that can occur in a cold roof space.

Works fine for us. I also store original packaging of electronic devices like phones in them, which are mostly made of high-quality cardboard. Nothing happens to them, no warping or anything like that.

We also have similar boxes. But the ones we got from IKEA are called KLÄMTARE.
