gun storage in a basement

[Faulkner]

I've had my 30 gun Liberty Safe in my temperature controlled basement for 15 years. All I use is a Remington rechargable dehumidifier and I've never had a problem.

I do keep a hygrometer hanging inside just to keep track of the humidity and have found I need to recharge the dehumidifier more often in the summer.

I'm going to make a wooden base for the safe to sit on that will be tied into the wall studs. The wall where I plan on installing the safe is just studs at the moment so wide open. I'm going to put 2 x 4's in between the studs behind where the safe will go. So the safe will be screwed to the base and the wall ! I think I'll try one of the rechargeable/renewable dehumidifiers first. I'll monitor humidity and go from there. Thanks for all the replies they have been helpful.

^Sounds like a good plan to me. Let us know how it works.^

Make up some Nut Plates to fasten to the back side of your 2 x 4's and use good sized bolts instead of screws to fasten it to the wall.
