I hate the thought of it going into a landfill.
Christmas tree attic.
If your attic is your only option for storing christmas decorations here are preventive measures you can take.
Storing an artificial christmas tree in the original cardboard box packaging it came in may seem like a good idea but it really isn t.
Back to artificial christmas trees.
Consider storing the tree on the same floor as it is used perhaps in an adjacent garage storage room or closet she advises.
Check on your christmas decorations periodically.
If your tree is on the larger side err on the side of an extra large storage bag you don t want to squish your branches.
Heat can cause artificial trees to become discolored or even melt so depending on your location the attic or garage may not be your best option.
Finally store your bag in a cool dry place.
For this reason many christmas tree bags have built in wheels that make them easier to move and one of the best options you can find is the primode holiday rolling tree storage bag.
Flip tree stored upside down on built in rolling stand and flips into display position.
Time to trudge down to the basement or up into the attic to dig for your artificial christmas tree.
A rolling case is a great option for easy moving.
I don t wanna ruin it.
Nearly 100 000 home accents holiday artificial christmas trees are under recall.
It s a 8ft pre lit lights built in tall green brown tree i got from sears for 350 it s nice.
Cardboard boxes are flimsy and can disintegrate over time.
Guess where i store my christmas decor.
Most artificial trees are too heavy to wrestle into a trap door attic or lug up a set of stairs.
If your christmas tree and decorations are heavy you may not want to heft a bag into your attic or basement.
Make sure your attic fan is up to snuff to keep it ventilated during summer.
Easy plug light connections inside the trunk so you just plug the tree into the wall.
Will it survive the summer heat if i throw it up in the attic.
I love white christmas trees but they can yellow when stored in a hot attic.
That time of year is here again.
Although the tree was pretty yellow when i brought it down i was determined to get another year out of it.
If you are anything like i used to be you will find it stuffed back in the same broken down dirty old box it originally came in maybe wrapped inside a garbage bag great storage idea.
The tree is fine but manufacturers say the foot pedal controller can overheat and burn you or possibly start a fire.
They are also susceptible to pests as well as mold growth when exposed to moisture and humidity that is commonly found in basements garages attics and other storage areas.
So i decided to flock my white christmas tree to give it some new.
