What should I do to make my attic a good place for storage?

Attic Preparation

If you choose to store in the attic, begin by making your attic more accessible and user-friendly.

Install a drop-down ladder that even the smallest member of the family can gain access to and show all in the family how to use it.

Insulate the area that is to be used for storage.

Install shelves and secure to prevent tippage.

You may want to install a fan that will help to pull hot air out of the attic. This will also help in cooling your home.
