Shipping containers are nice, but if you have a lot of stuff you use often you may have to move the stuff in front to get the stuff in the back out.
A relatively inexpensive option - depending on how many square feet you need - is some 4x4s on piers, tied together with some 2x6x and 2x2s for a roof frame. Build that and put some corrugated tin sheets on top with a slight slope and you have a shelter. You can enclose some sides or not depending on how much protection you want. Brace it as needed.
It would be even easier if you have a side or back of a building you can build off of - sort of a lean to. That way you already have one side covered.
