That depends on the hay bales. Small square bales are always going to be stored in a shed. Large squares can also be stored in a shed, but they can also be stored outside with a tarp thrown over top to shed moisture. Large round bales are stored outside, and stacked so that they slick off as much moisture as possible: storing them in a mushroom-shape (bottom bale is flat-side down and the top bale is put on top with the round side on the top of the bottom bale) with a few inches in between each stack is the best way to store large round bales.
