Default Winter storage / Cover

We just moved and in that move i got a barn for a garage in stead of a real garage. Its surprisingly dry in there, but i have no isolation or heat in there and it can get really cold here over the winter.

So my plan was to polish them and then cover them up.....

I have a couple of original outside covers, but i'm not sure thats the best idea or maybe it is because of the low temperatures. Maybe its better just to take a cotton sheet or invest in some indoor covers.

Any experiences or suggestions ?

I've used soft cotton indoor covers for several years. No damage to the paint surface or problems with moisture as can happen with using outdoor covers.

This is the type I have:

This is just an example. Plenty of other manufacturers offer similar products.

Aside from keeping a bit of dust off, a cover won't accomplish much.

I know it doesn't do much, but a barn or this barn, has a lot of naturel ventilation Its old :-) so there is little dust coming in when it is very windy outside, so maybe its why its surprisingly dry inside lots of ventilation :-)

I will look at Graham's link and find something indoor suitable.
