So, I need some ideas for my carport

Unfortunately, I don't have a garage. Probably won't have one at this house, and my shed is up a hill - not the best to drag stuff to and fro. I'm not a pro detailer by any stretch, but I do like making my vehicles look nice. I'd also like to keep a few other things closer to the house, but not in it.



The carport is too narrow to enclose, and I don't exactly trust the neighborhood. I don't feel too worried about anything I leave out, but I don't exactly want to tempt anyone.



The ground is a poured asphalt - I have no idea why the previous owners didn't use concrete - so it's not level everywhere. The back of the carport has a chain-link fence and gate leading to the back patio, and it has a fireplace jutting out in the middle.



I'd like to have some storage ability for my dilutions (concentrates would probably be stored in the shed), lawn and pest care, and some cheaper tools I'd like to have handy like flashlights, screwdrivers, etc. When I buy a PC, it won't be kept there.



I have a few problems, the most pressing is security. How could I secure whatever I do to the property? The side of the house is vinyl siding. I could buy, or build something. Ideas? If anyone is a good PS'er, I can post a picture later of the area I have to work with. I'm leaning towards building something custom, but could sure use some ideas from people in a similar position. Thanks.
 
I went and looked at the Depot tonight, and while I found something that would serve a small portion of my needs, I didn't find what I was looking for.



I think I'll have to at least build part of it, because I'd like some place to put the kids trikes et al.
