Les, I run a small Finether (10-20m sq) unit continuously in a converted garden shed where I store my gear. The shed has an exhaust fan which actually pressurises the shed when temperatures exceed 28degC and this prevents heat buildup in the ceiling area. I also run the dehumidifier full time which consumes only 20W continuous, and has a 500ml catch tank. This needs emptying every few days, but it also ensures the shed is checked for integrity. If the unit is not emptied, there is a float switch which shuts the unit off till attended to. Thus far after 3 seasons, no sign of corrosion or mould. (app $35 delivered).
