    If these are kept dry and sealed they will be good indefinitely:

    Sodium carbonate and bicarbonate, dry acid, calcium chloride, calcium Hypo, tri-chlor pucks.

    I wouldn't store chemicals in the garage. If they spill or mix you're in trouble.

    BTW, did they sell you POPP?
    This is my ticket for Heaven (when all's working..) :

    22k Gal gunite IGP
    38 SF DE filter, 1 HP Hayward Super Pump
    Raypak 350k BTU Natural Gas Heater and solar cover
    8 gal Liquidator with bleach
    Dolphin robotic cleaner
    Taylor k-2006 test kit

    This is the most important ingredient that pool supply houses can't sell you:
