I have had a few of my garage items outside for a while.  It is starting to show on some of the things, my lawn mower is rusting, my snow blower has seen better days.  I think it is time I invested in some indoor storage so I can keep these things from becoming ruined.  Many of the units I found even come heated for the cold winter months.  It is nice to know that it will be even better than safe, it will be preserved.  I will post back later about the prices I find.
