I agree with Murf about heating the woodshed. The only reliable way to prevent rusting besides oiling/greasing all bare iron and steel is to keep the metal temperature above the dew point. Any added water vapor from the slab will raise the dew point over the outside air, but ventilation will help. In my unheated but very well ventilated woodshed everything rusts! Often in the winter there is a film of ice covering all surfaces, especially when there is a rapid warming, as the beginning of an ice storm or 'January thaw'. Makes for some slippery logs!

Keep warm.
