    Storing shells in a shipping container

    I need to create a bit of additional working space in my garage for a few months and have access to a shipping container to store a couple of shells which would create the extra room needed. one shell is new in factory primer the other is in 2k primer.

    given primer isn't water proof would the dampness in a container be an issue, does anyone have experience of such??

    i could always line the inside with kingspan sheets or the like I suppose, or would a couple of rotating vents give enough air movement to keep damp at bay?

    I would run power into the container and use a dehumidifier will be far cheaper than kingspan etc

    steel containers will be very prone to condensation, especially in the winter months.

    So yes dampness will be an issue.

    Maybe try and operate a carcoon type bubble inside one ?

    I used kingspan then dry lined it in ply sheets with a dehumidifier running with a stat between 50> 60% humidity overkill but its nice to work and store car parts in the container.
