Hello everyone, is anyone here storing hay outside here in UK? Any tips on how to keep it nice and dry? Thanks in advance!

I keep mine in my shed - it means I have to take it out to get to the other stuff but it’s cheaper to buy hay in bigger quantities
I remove it from whatever it’s arrived in and put it into large ikea bags
I can then mix it and check it

Thank you so much. almost exactly what I was planning to do. thank you so much, it has been helpful
My boys live in a shed so their hay is outside with them in the same shed. It’s in a hay bale storage bag
I keep my shop bought meadow hay in the garage. It’s sold in a large plastic bag. Then bring a large bag in every few days when needed.
The haybox hay is stored inside because it’s packaged better and doesn’t make so much of a mess.

Thanks for your insight everyone. I have just bought a bin storage where we can hopefully store the hayboxes inside then at least I can put a moisture absorber inside to try and control the moisture. I could store it inside but i am worried about the hay dust inside if we were sifting the hay. Aaahhhhh sooo many things to consider. Lol. But yeah thanks everyone!
