Storing a wheelhouse

for those of you that store them outside do you leave it up or crank it down?
I’m leaning towards up to allow some airflow underneath.
Also, any suggestions for rodent control?

Thanks!

I spend hours in full camo on the top bunk waiting with my kids nerf gun that I mounted a Swarovski scope to and wait. The foam dart stuns them long enough for me to resuscitate them outside and release them back into the wild.

I would put up on wood blocks to allow air movement. I do this at three points to prevent tweaking the frame. I do it to just get the weight off the wheels and put a piece of plywood under them to mitigate rot.
