If it is worth it to keep your setup outside, maybe a small observatory or a "Roll-On-Roll-Off Roof" shed would be a good way to cut down on setup time and any damage by rain, dew, wind or any other of the many weather based damages that can affect a scope.
Not only the unprotected steel (rust) but also the many parts from dust, and solidification of greases. To keep in mind as well as the warping that can set in, when you have dry wood on one side, of lets say the legs of the tripod, and wet wood on the other, or underside of the same piece of wood.
I saw an article recently where an astronomer had a "Doctor Who" Phone Box "Tardis" in his back yard, where he left his whole telescope almost permanently set up. He only had to open the door, and roll the Tardis away into the corner of the yard to use his scope. I apologise to the author as I have forgotten his name and his article, but I did keep his pictures as I thought that his was a good idea. (I have found a lot of different links to the same project, but here is two good ones as follows

It is a setup that I wish that I could have, but My back fence is shared with a Doctors Surgery and Chemist complex, and they have yellow flood lamps blaring all night. This I didn't find out until I had bought the property and moved in.
It wouldn't stop the spiders seeking shelter there, though.
