Does this work for winter storage buildings?

I did not have success with this product in my yard. Not sure if it would work inside a building.

CynthiaI am not sure as I use it outside around the garden in the summer.Critter Ridder does work inside.David

Yes, just not sure how cold it will keep items but should be fine. A great idea

It is rather stiff tubing that I buried in several places. Not sure that it would withstand freezing in winter but other than that I would bury it. It uses barb type connectors, any hardware store would have adapters to match any tubing size to any other size.

If you are limited on space the unit will take up a small space and is suitable for hanging. I generally have it ready to go during the winter. It's a back saver.

I fastened it to the ceiling in my storage building/workshop and it works pretty well. The building has a metal roof with 2x4 studs and I stapled the insulation between the studs.

I use mine for ski boots and they work great provided it is located inside the house. I had mine mounted in the garage and the cold ambient air was to much for the radiant heat to overcome. Works great in my insulated mudroom.

With proper ventilation (to keep your roof cold) and insulation (so house air doesn't warm it up) you shouldn't have any ice damns so will be OK. I redid all that on my place before installing the guard, so don't know how it does with heavy damning. Without damning it has held up fine in the snow.

I have never stored or left mine outside. It is very well made, very well insulated, and doesn't get stiff or crack when laying in the snow and very cold weather!!! You would have to seal plug connections, but in my opinion, it should serve your purpose!!!

Yes. The way I use all mine is to wrap an indoor outdoor temp sensor right in there with the heat tape. Then spray that foam insulation all around the set up. The sensor tells you what the temp is & I was pleasantly surprized at how much heat these things put out when you insulate them. Well above freezing.

yes, just make sure the temp difference between outside and inside isn't great. Like is shouldn't be freezing outside

yes. Each of the external metal faces is lined with 3-4inch thick styrofoam, and each end/divider has a similar thickness buffer. It gets impressively warm inside - I have not used it in a cold New England winter yet, but I expect it will continue to compost all winter long.

If you want to use insulation only...I don't think it will keep it from freezing. If you wrap it with Heat Tape and insulation...yes, it will keep it from freezing. Heat tape works great on jobs like that.

Yes this works for inside storage as well. However, you may want to get a cheaper model if you are using it inside.

Not designed for outside use--fine for garage storage(shoes by the door--ect) but not something that I would expose to rain, sleet and snow--much too nice --and if you put really heavy items in the compartments it might collapse--designed more for light weight items like shoes or clothing

I would say, yes. I know mine has been effective and I store mine in a garage where the temps reach into the high 90's in the summer.

I would Jason. We used footings and cdx treated plywood. You would probably need it especially if you were going to store heavy items in it. It would also make for a more substantial shed. We really love ours and there is plenty of room in it to store a riding lawn mower and snow blower in it along with a generator and tiller. We actually have two of the buildings. One is a bit smaller then we purchased the larger one. Easy to put up and handsome to look at. Hope this info helps.

I used it for the winter in Wisconsin, during our many freeze-thaw cycles. I bought it to keep pooling melt water from going down the space between my driveway and house. It has worked well for one season so far.
