3 Tips for Storing a Cooler in Winter

Open the drain plug and store the cooler upside down Water expands when it freezes, which cracks coolers. Keeping the drain open and the cooler inverted lets any moisture drain out.

Keep it dry and sheltered from snow A little cold air won’t hurt the cooler, but trapped snow will. Store it under a porch or in a shed to keep precipitation out.

Don’t sit or stand on the cooler in freezing weather The lid is vulnerable to cracking under weight when it’s cold. Avoid using it as a seat until temperatures rise.
