Outside storage for attatchments: How to keep the weeds down?

[VirtualTractor]

Like many, I need to store some of my attachments outside. Problem is, keeping the weeds down around them, especially the ones you don't use very often.

Does anyone have any unique ideas for keeping the weeds at bay?

Landscape fabric is far too weak. Round up or other herbacides are a pain as you need to keep applying them.

A big concrete pad would be nice, but too expensive.

I've tried using big heavy livestock rubber matts, but they too are expensive and hard to find used reasonably priced ones.

Any other thoughts?

Treat the area with Pramitol or its equivalent. This will prevent vegetation from growing.

I let the grass and weeds grow up so my wife doesn't know how many I have!!

Which reminds me, I need to recover a couple before I forget where in the weeds they are!!

I put down a layer of landscape fabric, a layer of crushed stone and then cover it with a "fabric garage" and put my attachments in the 'garage'.

I use used tin roofing. The cuttings from when you mow gradually fill in over the tin. And the next time I use the equipment, I simply pick up the tin,shake it off and lay it back out.
