All computers get broken down outside and the boards and other things get tossed in a barrel of water overnight to kill any fleas or bedbugs or cockroaches(before doing this I had a huge spider jump out at me when pulling a heatsink off a cpu and shreaked like a 4 year old girl) then I take stuff inside for further processing and sorting like cpu/motherboards/finger cards. I process stuff pretty quickly and store the boards and high dollar stuff inside. To make a long story short, no tarp or tent for me.
Its not so much to protect scrap, its more for protecting resell items for the swapmeet (fleamarket) and for electronics that still work. Stuff gets damaged so quick in the sun and rain.
