I am trying to figure out where to put the dust collection system I am getting for Christmas. My shop is detached, 12' x 24' with 8' walls and wood siding. Here is a pic:
I built the lean-to to keep my car in during the winter and my truck in during the summer. Well, it has quickly turned into a wood & stuff storage spot. I am thinking about putting my dust collection system under this lean-to. But, I don't want the humidity to cause it to rust or not work correctly. I could enclose it in a closet-like structure. I also want to put my air compressor beside it to save space and noise. (1) What should I do? (2) Are there issues I am not considering?
(3) If the dust collection system is outside, will I have a problem with moving warm / cold conditioned air out of my shop? Where will the new air come from - through cracks in the building? I have it sealed up reasonably well to keep ants out and the heat in.
What other suggestions do you have?
