Air flow is an important consideration with your container. There are many things to consider.

What will you be storing in your container? Moisture in your items and in the air can create mold without adequate air flow. Will you be storing things that create fumes, such as lawnmowers or motorcycles? The fumes can build up without proper ventilation.
