No room in house for all of my furniture. Want to build a shed/workshop to store it. Gets down to -20 where I live. Do I need a heat source? If so, how warm do I need to keep it. The furniture isn't expensive.

If it's not expensive, why build a shed? The shed will probably cost you more than the furniture is worth. Why not sell it or donate it?

It depends on the furniture.
With varying temperatures, it is NEVER a good idea to store furniture such as couches and chairs that are apolstered because the fabric will get moldy. Animals will crawl up into them and make nests. Wood can get damaged. You would be better off going to an actual storage company that has properly built places to keep your stuff.

If it is made of wood or particle board, no. The problem here is moisture absorption as a result of humidity. If you do not have a climate controlled shed in which to store your wood or particle board furniture you will encounter warping and discoloration of the finish in wood, and the lifting of the laminate and rot with particle board in as little as a year dependant upon environmental conditions. However, if you live in an arid area such as say Scottsdale Arizona or the like you shouldn't have a problem with your project.

I wouldn't worry about the heat, but very low humidity during cold weather can sometimes dry wood to the point of cracking or loosening joints. And high humidity in summer can bring mold or mildew. I'd go ahead and store it if it isn't very expensive. Heating a shed when -20 would cost more than the funiture's worth.

If the material isn't real exotic and it is kept dry, there shouldn't be a problem.
It all depends on how valuable the furniture is to you. If you cherish it, keep it in the house. If it's cheap as you seem to indicate, then you can probably put it in the shed w/o issue.
Good luck.

Freezing is bad. Above 32 +.
High temp will damage any glued parts. Bugs, spiders, Recluse possibilities. Had that.
Go to a mover and buy some rolls of wide plastic wrap. It clings like Saran Wrap. They use it to wrap furniture when moving. You can seal it. Forgot the name.
About 20" width.
I've used it.
