I keep the actual tent and anything else that can be affected by damp, like airbed and sleeping bag, inside the house. Some is in a small cupboard and some is under the bed.

However, I recently bought a plastic garden storage box described as weatherproof and recommended for your garden furniture cushions etc; and I have been astonished that it actually does keep things dry...not a drop of water has got inside and no sign of condensation...yet. I keep everything in there that is unlikely to be affected by damp such as folding tables, the tent poles, tent pegs, hammers etc; etc. One table is in a cardboard box and is showing no signs of being affected by damp.

I don't know, but I would imagine a plastic shed might be equally as weatherproof, in fact when my present wooden shed finally collapses I will buy a plastic one.

One thing I have noticed is that in the hot weather the lid warped so that the front two corners raised up. Consequently I found a few bugs had got inside. I sprayed the inside to clobber the bugs and I have now devised a hook and strap affair to hold the corners down tight. That seems to have done the trick.

the same thing has happened to my plastic one,
"Bob" how did you devise the hook and strap ?
