4. Canned goods, food, or bird seed
If you leave any sort of food in your outdoor shed, you might meet a curious critter who can’t wait to have a feast. If you’re not willing to entertain, you’d better keep pet food or bird seed out of your shed.
Even if these items are packed and sealed, fluctuations in temperature could cause them to spoil. According to the USDA, canned foods exposed to temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit or below 40 degrees Fahrenheit aren’t safe for consumption. Speaking of food items you shouldn’t keep in your outdoor shed, make sure your wine bottles are safely placed in your pantry because temperature can destroy the quality of your beverage.
