When storing lawn and garden equipment, drain any fluids prior to storage in order to avoid corrosive damage.
Use trash cans to store shovels, hoes and rakes.

HELPFUL STORAGE TIPS
Store furniture carefully on boards or pallets.
Store small items like pots and pans in large appliances, such as stoves or refrigerators.
Break down items (such as table legs) and store large furniture (like tabletops and sofas) on end to save space.
Use protective covers and treat wood surfaces before storing.
When storing business files, label all boxes and construct aisles so files are easily seen and accessible.
