I'm wondering if anyone stores their bulk pellets in a gravity box outside and How that works. Do the pellets pick up moisture? Obviously I would have the wagon covered but wondering about condensation, ect. Thanks in advance

If it rains the seams will weep into the box if the entire box is not covered and sealed well. If it snows and your cover flutters it will suck in snow. I have stored corn and pellets in a gravity box. Now I live in the valley of extremes. A tarp over a fittted canopy will help prevent most of the problems. I just made room in a shed and bucketed till bagged pellets were available cheap. $10 dollars a ton price differance is not worth the hassle. The bags fit a 30l trash can great.
