suggestions for outdoor tool organization?

Hi all. I wasn't sure exactly where I should post this. Here's my dilemna:

I live in an apartment in New York City that comes with a small dirt yard where I do gardening. Naturally I like to keep my supplies close at hand, so I have things like a very large bag of mulch, extra planters, bags of rocks, stakes, etc., all just sitting out in my back yard.

I cannot afford to buy a tool shed as they all seem to be $1000 and up. I don't mind if these supplies get wet during rain/snow. But what I DON'T like is that all these things are sitting on the ground, and so due to stagnant water etc., all the bags etc get "yucky" with slugs etc. My main objective is to figure out a way to elevate all these things off of the direct ground.

I am thinking a tiered stand might be good, and while I searched a bit online, none of them seem to have shelves that are deep/wide enough, to be able to accommodate my large mulch bags, plastic storage boxes for rocks, etc.

Any suggestions how I can accomplish what I want...how to elevate these things off of the ground?

Thanks!
