Takedown-volume plan

How much storage will this display need?

Reels, controllers, power supplies, clips, labels, and repaired segments need homes. The display is not finished until the bins close without crushing everything.

Display result

January needs a plan too

Measure a repeatably packed segment, then count controllers, clips, labels, and spare room.

Measure one packed segment

Pack it the way you can repeat every year, including its reel or wrap. Multiply that volume, then keep controllers and small hardware separated and labeled.
