Hello! If you’re anything like me, you’re always thinking about ways to maximize storage. Let’s explore some smart solutions for putting that often-ignored area beneath your home to good use.
Make a Dampness Shield
Before storing anything, think about putting down a dampness shield. I used strong plastic sheeting, which greatly helped in preventing dampness. It’s a small thing that offers big protection for your items.
Try these:
- Tough Plastic Sheeting: Protect your stored items with long-lasting plastic sheeting to effectively prevent dampness buildup.
- Dampness-Resistant Tape: Seal your plastic sheeting securely with dampness-resistant tape for maximum protection against dampness.
- Dampness Shield Insulation Rolls: Improve your under-house storage with dampness shield insulation rolls to keep everything dry.
Use the Space for Seasonal Items
Store items you only need at certain times of the year, like holiday decorations. I keep my Christmas and Halloween decor here, freeing up closet space inside. It’s a perfect spot for things you don’t need every day.
