Default Ice cube

Have a quick question about the ice cube, or any tents for that matter. What do you guys do to allow them to dry out? I dont have much room in the house, and no garage to set it up in...I have opened the bag and let it sit in the furnace room, but that doesn't help out a great deal...suggestions are appreciated. thanks.

I set mine up inside after each use, usually just make a little space in the basement. I would hate for my IceCube to go moldy as a result of the moisture build up.

I just open up the carrier bag and spread it out a little bit. I had mold starting to grow last year when I left the bag closed until the next trip.

I always dry mine out too, sometimes it's covered in ice and I don't want it molding or rotting away.

I cant setup mine indoors either. I put in the furnace room, out of the bag and spread the 'feet' out the best I can. I haven't had mold yet (had it for 2 years). I find just opening the bag isn't enough, it stays damp.

Usually just leave it in the garage in the bag. After the season and the garage gets above freezing, I will set it up to dry out.

I pop the roof and kind of prop it up against a wall or in the bathtub so the air can get to it.
