    If you store the lights in a container, use a shallow one and avoid stacking the coils on top of each other. That way they won't get tangled while in storage.

    How do I store several Christmas lights attached to a net? The bulbs are fastened to a 4 x 6 net.
    Community Answer
    Find something, like a piece of cardboard, that you can wrap the net around, so that it isn't folded in on itself and doesn't tangle.

    Is it better to store the lights indoors? I stored mine in a shed last year and many didn't light.

    Yes, lights should be stored indoors. Otherwise water may get into them, and cause the light to short out.
