Hi All!

Read about all the downsides of Dry Acid and was looking to switch to muriatic but I don’t really have too much space outdoors to put a shed for this. Maximum would be some weatherproof box/container which I can find some place for.

But then the question - is rusting issue from vapors applicable for garage kind of setting only or outdoors it will also cause issues? If so - how far from any metal it needs to be? Thinking things like gutters, electric boxes or pool equipment would be 10-15 feet close at best. Regardless where this box will be, some metal objects are still around.

Will this cause issues?
 
No, the air circulation outdoors is sufficient.

Put it in an plastic storage box outdoors.
