That’s where these fake tree bags come in. Seriously, they’re a lifesaver. I saw one that was described as a “Christmas Tree Storage Bag-Extra Large Artificial Xmas Tree Duffel Style Storage Bag-Fits Up Till 9 Ft. Trees-Heavy Duty 600D/ Inside PVC Material for Extra Durability-Sturdy & Water-Resistant, 59 inch x 27 inch x 24 inch” which is, like, a *mouthful* but basically means it’s a big, strong bag. And get this, some of them even have WHEELS! Rolling Christmas tree storage bag much easier to move—-!!! Game changer, right? No more backaches.
Now, I gotta admit, I’ve tried the cheapy bags before. Big mistake. They rip so easily. Like, you’re halfway up the attic stairs and BAM! A rogue branch is poking through and you’re leaving a trail of fake pine needles all the way up. Not a good look. This “Heavy Duty 600D” thing they keep mentioning? Apparently that’s the good stuff. Means it’s tougher. Like, canvas-y, but probably not actually canvas, just… tough. Ya know?
Then there’s the size thing. I saw another one, a “HOMEST Christmas Tree Storage Bag, Fits for 7.5 ft” and then another “HikooLSS Christmas Tree Bags Storage 7.5 Ft Christmas Tree Storage Bag”. So you gotta know what size tree you actually *have*! Don’t be like me and try to cram a 9-footer into a 7.5-foot bag. Trust me, you’ll regret it. And probably break a zipper.
Honestly, choosing a fake tree bag is more complicated than it sounds. There’s the size, the material, the WHEELS (seriously, get the wheels!), and then the whole “will this actually fit in my attic without taking up all the space” thing. Maybe I should measure my attic… Nah, I’ll just wing it. What’s the worst that could happen? (*knocks on wood*)
