If you are going to have access to this non-air-controlled unit on a regular basis, You can get moisture control tubs at dollar discount stores. very inexpensive. My husband has a small bag of charcoal briquettes open in his outdoor shed all the time for that purpose alone. It gets hot an humid and very little rust on his machines. If you choose to use the tubs, you will be able to see the difference. As far as rodents and bugs any critters I would set traps or preventive measures/repellants.

I have a plethora of plastic tubs, and they do well for fabric storage in my temperature controlled house, but I wonder if sealed tubs would attract moisture in a storage unit? Cardboard boxes are my other option, but then I'm concerned about creepy crawlies getting in.
A temperature controlled storage unit is not an option at present. Any and all suggestions for storage ideas are welcome. Thanks.
