Does anyone store a large amount of wood (perhaps a seasons worth) in their unfinished basement? I have the room. Wondering about bugs...

I fit 4 cords in my basement. I haven't seen an increase in bugs, but my dehumidifiers have been filling up quicker. I went from emptying them once a day to 2-3 times per day. I will shut them down completely once I start burning the stove though.
I'm thinking about building a lean-to off the back of the house next year to store my wood under. The only reason I'm really thinking about this is to free up a little room to put my freezers in. My other basement rooms are getting a little crowded.
