is there a good means of conviently storing tall garden tools like: hoes,
rakes, etc, in the open; whilst keeping the rain off?

i know there are small but tall plastic sheds, for these kind of tools;
but
dont want to go down that road. Any other suggestions please?

If the water table allows get a manhole bored and lined using the
plastic lining materials available at builders merchants , make it
just deeper than your tallest implement and put a plastic lid on it.

Thanks. Its in my own private (very small) garden. i could not envisage
digging a hole as deep as the long handles (i'm quite tall) i bought for my
hoe and rake.


Next Monday Lidl have a set of hooks on offer

You could fix these to the wall with a baton above with polythene fixed
to it to keep the rain off (if you fastened a baton to the bottom of the
polythene as well its weight would hold the sheet down)
The tools could then be layed along the hooks.
Total cost less than £10.
