I agree with Tyvek,it shed moisture should the sprinkler system
accidently fail, or the roof leak but it "breathes" If you cover storage
cabinets for any length of time you set up a microclimate inviting any
mold spores to germinate. Make sure there are spaces between sections
for cross ventilation between cabinets and space for end to end
ventilation.
