I usually store all my traps in Rubbermaid totes. Was thinking about just hanging em in my pole barn I stef this year. What your thoughts. All the traps will be dipped here shortly so they will have fresh code of speed dip. Some im going to dip in rust-oleum/acetone too. Gona give that a try next season for my mink/rat traps. K9' will get waxed before the season in October.

I know guys who hang them up outside all summer and still catch good numbers. As long as their not stored next to heavy oders you should be fine.

Depends what you mainly use the barn for. If it's mostly just outdoor storage, and it vents okay then it would be a good spot. I hang mine outside, as my trap shed is mainly used for putting up fur, and I do a lot of mechanic work and welding in the shop, and I'd rather my traps not smell like flux or exhaust

The barn is only used for storage, tractor, side by side, 4 wheeler, and a boat. Gets decent ventilation in there. I cheeped out last season and just log wood died em and put em in totes. The humidity must of gotten to em because the had light rust on em all when I got em out in the fall.

Dying your traps doesn't prevent them from rusting, they need to be waxed.
