Winter storage choices

[hystat]

I can store my 4.3m SIB in my unheated boathouse inflated and assembled, or I can deflate it, fold and store in heated basement. Which would you suggest? It is cold here in the winter- as cold as -35 deg. C
I assume inflated in the boathouse best defense against critters chewing it.
Thanks!

Can you keep it off the floor in either option?

[hystat]

yes, in either place I can have it up off the floor if that's recommended

I was thinking more of it being out of range of various chewing animals.

Personally, as long as it's dry and the fabric isn't going stiff enough with cold to risk cracking I doubt it'd matter-but that's just a personal opinion and there will be others on here that'll know better than me. What's it made of?

I'd definitely have the motor in the heated basement though.

Matt's right, the zodiac he bought was stored in an unheated garage, albeit a nice and dry one, for 20 years or so with no damage to fabric etc, so should be fine I would have thought. Might get a bit of mildew etc if it's damp in there though
