I do not know of a standard, but you should make sure the storage temp is 5-10 degrees lower(maybe more depending on fluctuations in temp for the area). That would be < 120F degrees. Request the location Facilities department understands you need temperature control

Not sure if that is ideal but it keeps the blocks cool in the summer and the slides from sticking in the winter.

We have moved our long term storage out to our hospitals warehouse and I believe the building is getting much too hot. What temperature range is everyone using?
