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?

The alternative to 'tall' is 'long'. How about on a pair of shelf brackets
high up under the eaves of the shed or garage?

Or slid under the shed if yours is like mine on bearers.

Does it have to be in the open? Can they slide under the car in the garage.

Look at long as opposed to high.

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.

Our previous garden was very large and the veg garden some distance
from the tool sheds. So to keep tools dry at the veg plot, J made me an
store like an open fronted sentry box just tall enough for hoes etc,
with an apex roof. It cost nothing other than the paint. Apart from the
tall uprights (trawled from skip) the rest of the wood was from old
pallets.

My advice would be to buy tools for the garden which can be left ouside.
Mine, on the alotment and at home are....left, where I last used them,
apart from the rake. That one has a habit of reninding you exactly where
you left it!
They are all made out of various metals, handle/shaft and all. Coated with
something to stop 'em corroding.
I have had mine 5 years now. I also use my spade as a crowbar.

Next Monday Lidl have a set of hooks on offer

http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/SID-50...Detail&id=5517
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.
