Default Will High Heat in Garage Damage my Fabrics for 2-3 weeks Storage?

We are recarpeting and as excited as I am to get new carpet I am dreading the process. I need to move all of my fabric and the garage is really the only place I will be able to keep it as we will be using other areas of the house not being carpeted for the furniture and other household stuff.

One, I dread the thought of accumulating all of my fabric (I have it stashed away in several spots in the house--closets and under beds as well as on my bookshelves in my sewing area). My DH and kids think that the only fabric I have is what is on my bookshelves and they say that is too much. They will flip a lid when they see how much there really is!!! Two, I don't know how I am going to find enough boxes or containers to put it in. And three, I am worried the high heat (it will be in temperatures ranging from 70 at night to 115 as our daytime temps are going to go to 107 to 110) will damage the fabric. I will probably need around 2 to 3 weeks of storage.

Any thoughts on this? Thanks.
