I would worry about the motor and electrics getting damp

That said - the compressor should have a TEFL (totally enclosed fan cooled) motor so maybe it is designed to cope with the damp

I used to. But I've had it over twenty years and it's been outside for most of them.


I did lose a mig welder to a damp shed, which let go with a nice bang.

Mine is in the garage at the moment - detached, concrete etc - and if I forget and leave it on I can hear it cycling at night when I'm in bed, about 15m from the garage.. 

Which usually prompts me to go outside and turn it off, at least! Luckily none of the neighbours have been out and about while I'm doing that yet or they'd get a heck of a shock at the sight of me in my undercrackers..

Some things cannot be unseen!

Pass the bleach please

 

If I could make space in the (drier) shed I'd move it in there and build a noise isolating cupboard for it.. but currenly there's barely enough space to walk around in there

+1  Its amazing how space gets eaten up with omega spares/oil/coolant/filters junk out of the house  Next thing you know its all in the back of the space bus
