My hubby had this storage chest that he used when he went away to college over 15 years ago. It’s been in the attic, garage, basement for all these years with an old tent in it. (have no idea why the tent was in it) I wanted to use it for blankets. When I opened it smelled musty. It’s cedar lined but that didn’t stop the odor. How can I get rid of the musty smell?

I need to store some merchandise at our backyard so I can access occasionally. It’s too expensive to hire a contractor to build a garage, because I have a baby to take care of so it’s not convenient if they are in a commercial storage place. I used to purcahse a tent and build it but it’s not safe at all. Is there any other way to get my stuffs store safely in my backyard? I really appreciate your advise.
Thank you for all your advises. I really appreciate that. Yes. 1000 S.F. probably too big. 20×20 might be OK. I was thinking about use awning. Like products shown on http://www.sunsetter.com. Will that be easier to set up and tear down when don’t need it.

I lost the instructions to the Cover-It Instant Garage / Car Port / Storage Tent and I need them. If somebody could tell my how to get them that would be great.
