A good coat of ACF50 if you are that worried ;)

As long as it's dry and cool when you are covering it, it shouldn't be too bad if you keep on top of keeping bits greased and oiled.

Comes with ropes that I have attached to the corners and tied to fence...I have electrical conduit clamps that will screw over the metal frame and anchor to the floor...
