Back to artificial christmas trees.
Christmas tree attic.
If your attic is your only option for storing christmas decorations here are preventive measures you can take.
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.
If your christmas tree and decorations are heavy you may not want to heft a bag into your attic or basement.
A rolling case is a great option for easy moving.
I love white christmas trees but they can yellow when stored in a hot attic.
Guess where i store my christmas decor.
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.
I don t wanna ruin it.
The tree is fine but manufacturers say the foot pedal controller can overheat and burn you or possibly start a fire.
Trying to make some room in the garage and that tree is taking up space.
Will it survive the summer heat if i throw it up in the attic.
Check on your christmas decorations periodically.
Flip tree stored upside down on built in rolling stand and flips into display position.
Easy plug light connections inside the trunk so you just plug the tree into the wall.
Pre fluffed light connections inside the trunk and memory wire branches reduce fluffing.
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.
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.
If your attic has windows don t store your decorations near direct sunlight.
Time to trudge down to the basement or up into the attic to dig for your artificial christmas tree.
Finally store your bag in a cool dry place.
I hate the thought of it going into a landfill.
So i decided to flock my white christmas tree to give it some new.
Although the tree was pretty yellow when i brought it down i was determined to get another year out of it.
That time of year is here again.
Nearly 100 000 home accents holiday artificial christmas trees are under recall.
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.
Make sure your attic fan is up to snuff to keep it ventilated during summer.
Most artificial trees are too heavy to wrestle into a trap door attic or lug up a set of stairs.
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.
