Storage

[benthejam]

I keep my scooter in a shed which is waterproof but I opened it yesterday and because of the cold weather the paintwork was a bit damp because of the moisture in the air and I'm wondering what the best solution is? I've looked at vac bags or do I just introduce a heater in there?

Is it fully insulated? Either a dehumidifier or a small oil/electric heater turned down real low. Do you go in there often when the scoots "tucked away"?

It is a steel framed timber clad storage shed which I fabricated, it isn't insulated. I do have a tubular heater which is for greenhouses and conservatories, I'm thinking of putting that in there. I will check on it but chances are that will be at weekends only

If you have a heater then use that, but I prefer to use a dehumidifier (but then I've just put doors on my shed after 3 years....). There is what they call a "carcoon", really good pieces of kit but a fair few quid.

Don't know how noisy dehumidifiers are that's the only thing?

The one my girlfriend uses in her garage (absolute car nut) is really quiet but fairly old, only got to remember to keep emptying the tank. I would use what you have first and see how you get on.

Yeah I'm thinking of going for a dehumidifier rather than a heater
