We are kind of "cleaning house" at work and my new boss wants to get rid of a bunch of good usable steel. The main things will be some 4"x6"x1/4"x20' rectangle tubing as well as some 8" i-beams 20' long. These are in very nice condition and I don't want to see them get scrapped. Me being the hoarder that I am want to take them for future projects but will have to store them outside. The i-beams I may use in the next 6 months, though tubes may sit around for a couple years. I am thinking about maybe spraying a coating of oil on them (I have quite a bit of used motor oil), then covering them with a tarp. Anyone have any suggestions for this?
I guess another idea would be to spray a coat of primer on them, but would prefer not to because it will be one more thing to have to remove when I want to weld them later. Also, I would set them on some 4x4's to keep them off the ground.
