I had my keter shed outside collapse so I am now washing tons of clothing to be stored. (I save between kids so I have a lot of clothing)

what's the best way to organize it?
I had it all in bags labeled but the bags got ruined when our shed got ruined and therefore I'm washing all the clothing.
I don't really have boxes.
Is the best way to label and store in bags?

do you store each size separately for summer & winter?

I had many clothes ruined, first by a mouse that lived in our machsan for a while and chewed through some clothes. In another house I left clothes in clear plastic boxes outside and the sun faded some of the darker clothes.

So I learned to be choosy with what I store. If it is stained, worn out then don't store it. If my sister in law can use it, I give it to her. Anything above size 5 I give away, for the gender that doesn't have kids after in the same gender. If we are blessed with another baby, I won't store those clothes for 5+ years.

As to how to store the clothes, I am a bit paranoid because of our mouse experience. I store them in bags within an old dresser in an indoor storage area. If I only had outdoor storage area, I would use the thick plastic boxes on wheels. I think we got them at Home Center for 40NIS each. Though they are expensive, they really do protect the clothes well. Since they are not transparent the sun doesn't affect ruin the clothes.
