How do I store my tools without a garage?

I just bought a small cabin but it has no garage. I have no place to put tools but my crawl space under my home. I'm afraid they will rust due to moisture. I don't want one of those ugly metal sheds. Any ideas?

How about building a shed to mimic the house?
You can build an attached shed, if weather is an issue. Check your County's website for "accessory structure" requirements. Would you want to build an attached carport and put the built-in shed as one of the outside walls of the carport?
Depending on how many and the size of them you could put them in Rubbermaid totes and put in the crawl space
DIY small tool shed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgncaOv1TDk another https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjbE05dmxvg another small one you'll need to make taller for rakes shovels weed eaters etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7T0TsoMO78 one more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXVEtJX-k2Y you can make base patio pavers instead of cement pad ; You need to keep your tools cleaned and oiled to prevent rust no matter where you keep them. You could also use bicycle hanging hooks and store them up under eaves of your roof line use 2 for each tool(shovel,rake weedeater)you could hang them vertical handles downward or actually put them flat up under eave using one hook by tool head & another by tip of handle so tool would be horizontal https://www.walmart.com/ip/Wall-or-Ceiling-Mount-Bike-Hooks-Multipurpose-Heavy-Duty-Galvanized-Steel-Utility-Screw-In-Hangers-with-50-Pound-Capacity-by-Stalwart-Black/664852082 if needed you can use bicycle locks(U-type for weed eater),chain & padlocks to keep them safe. hope one of these work sucks when your tools get stolen or damaged
