Should I try to make my box to store patio chairs outside for the winter airtight or ventilated against damp?
I’m building it from offcuts of wood to sit on our balcony in order to protect our patio furniture against the Paris winter, which can be sub-zero and very wet. I want to avoid rusting of the metal components and rotting of the chair cushions.
Thanks for your help!
The balcony is quite sheltered, and I’m wondering whether I should try to make the box airtight (and probably not succeed 100%), or whether it’s better to leave ventilation slits on the sheltered side to let any dampness or condensation evaporate.

I think vented, at least then condensation won’t be trapped.
I think the chairs themselves would be ok in a vented box = however have you thought of the cushions in one or two - or however many you need - vacuum sealing bags. They take the air out and vacuum seal with your vacuum cleaner = I have stored blankets and quilts and sleeping bags through the winter in my garage with great success.
they are sold in all the large department stores - walmart , kmart, target etc.
