I would like to know how many of you run your dust collector and air compressors in sheds outside your shop. I would like to know how that has worked and if you have anything you would do different? I am planning on building a shed to handle both my air compressor and dust collector. Things I am wondering about: Is heat or cold a problem (I live in Colorado) did you insulate? Should I separate the rooms? how do you handle draining your compressor tanks? any problems with putting dust collector and air compressor in same shed. And I would love to see some!

Thanks B

I have the impeller in a crawl space just outside my shop. it is open to the air but not the weather. It has been fine through 2 winters with sub 15 temperatures. the only downside is that it pumps my heated shop air into the freezing outdoors
