    Coil each one up and tape it up at both ends to stop it unwinding. Then put in caetgorised boxes.

    They are all still in the packets, but basically looking for something practical to store them in....thought about bin storage racks, but not sure what size I would need

    Why not just use a load of plastic nesting/stacking tubs labelling each one to make finding things easily.

    If you really do have a lot, you could consider renting a storage space through a company. We are quite lucky because we have a 'Storage King' literally the other side of our garden wall, or a 2 min cycle ride round. You could even consider getting another shed to put them in, but that's if you have the space... Unfortunately, we don't!
