Depends on your climate. I would not store anything in an uninsulated garage, (or attic) in the South and Southwest, nor in the North in Winter. You might do better putting rigs into styrofoam picnic

While the Styrofoam will act as padding, its insulation quality will only slow temperature changes and not provide long term temperature insulating protection..... case in point, if the garage is not

I'd put a bag of silica gel desiccant in with it and store it in a cool dry place. I see so many corroded rigs at hamfests that have been stored in damp dirty locations. Truly sad. 73, Bob WB2VUF On
