Run is almost complete. I purchased large galvanized cans with lids to store the feed. My plan was to store the barrels of feed in my shed, next to the run. But a few people said that predators will chew/claw/dig into my shed to get to the grain. Even if the feed is secure in the barrels, I don't want anything wrecking my brand new shed.
So I was wondering if there's any reason not to just put the barrels right in the run? The run is EXTREMELY predator resistant with 1/2 hardware cloth on all sides including the floor and ceiling, and has corrugated roofing over that. Would the run be an okay place to keep the barrels? I kept cracked corn in a barrel like that on my deck all winter (to feed wild birds) and it's still dry and fine.
What do you guys think? Shed or Run & why?
