If the shed is unheated, have you bought a freezer that is rated for low ambient temperatures?

I was just looking into this today and found the large majority of freezers have +10C as their minimum operating temp, below which there is a risk of the compressor freezing and stopping. There are specific coolants used in freezers that have lower minimum temps.

We've had freezers in our unheated garage for 13 years, apart from the one that died of old age, the others are fine.

Just think Chrissie, MORE room to freeze MORE lovely veg and stuff!   ;) ;)

I believe it is generally recommend to put shed/ garage freezers on 4 concrete blocks to get a bit of an airspace from a possibly damp floor.
The freezer hopefully will last a few years longer . :)

You'll just need to keep a list what's where or you'll never find it 😊
