Storing tins in a damp environment

[Prepared Chick]

Industrial heavy duty plastic containers are good as they don't hold the cold as metal does, place thick cardboard all around the container and stack the tins on a good layer of carboard as well .Use a moisture absorber for condensation and shrink wrap the whole thing in the event of a hole developing in the roof of the shed

You need to look at other options of where else you can store your tins though - bottom of clothes cupboard, under the bed etc, because in the event a major event occurring, there is an immediate risk of theives getting into the shed - particularly more so if you have anything growing in your garden.

if you absolutely have no space at all in the house, bury some of your tinned stuff in the garden -get a blue plastic barrell with a lid - again use cardboard - and stack - pop moisture absorber and oxygen absorber in the barrell and bury. - think of your location - easily accessible - out of view from neighbours - if neighbours can see the area you want to dig - get some greenhouses so you can work discreetly - again you need to think of retrieval in the event of an emergency.

The key is you don't want to end up with a situation where your supplies are all taken and your left with nothing more than 1-3 days worth of food in the house
