How to Use Tarps for Safe and Stress-Free Holiday Storage

Posted on

As the holiday season winds down, it’s time to pack up your decorations, lights, and outdoor displays. Proper storage is key to keeping your holiday items in great condition for years to come. Tarps are a simple and cost-effective solution to protect your decorations from damage during storage. Here’s how you can use tarps to make holiday cleanup and storage easier, safer, and more efficient. 

 

  1. Wrapping Large Decorations

 

Oversized decorations, such as inflatables or yard ornaments, can be difficult to store safely. Cover these items with poly tarps to shield them from dust, moisture, and pests while in storage.

  • Tip: Secure the tarp with bungee cords or rope to ensure a snug fit.

 

  1. Creating Waterproof Storage Covers

 

If you’re storing items in a garage or shed, tarps can serve as an extra layer of protection against unexpected leaks or damp conditions. Use a waterproof tarp to cover your storage bins or boxes, ensuring they remain dry no matter the weather.

 

  1. Organizing Outdoor Lights

 

Holiday lights can be frustrating to untangle year after year. Lay out a light-duty tarp, wrap the lights into bundles, and roll them up inside the tarp for compact and organized storage.

  • Pro Tip: Label each bundle to make decorating next year a breeze.

 

  1. Protecting Your Tree and Wreaths

 

Artificial trees and wreaths are an investment, and proper storage is essential to maintain their quality. Wrap them in a tarp to prevent dust accumulation and keep them looking fresh for future seasons.

  • Why Tarps Work: Unlike plastic bags, tarps allow for some airflow, reducing the risk of mildew or odors.

 

  1. Storing Outdoor Furniture and Equipment

 

Don’t forget your outdoor furniture and seasonal equipment! Cover patio furniture, grills, and lawn tools with heavy-duty tarps to protect them from winter weather while in storage.

  • Bonus: Use weighted tarp clips for extra security against wind or shifting.
