Renting a barn to store old machinery

Hi all
After a bit of advice, I currently keep two of my fergies and a few implements on a farm just outside the village. They are family friends so I have been fortunate to just of been able to keep them there rent free in exchange for helping out round the place, gift at Christmas etc. Now my worry is they are both getting older and without a doubt the farm will be sold off in the future when it becomes to much ( both in their eighties) . So I'm just interested in what the going rate is to rent a bit of shed space at the moment just for a bit of future planning really. Be interested to here people's thoughts.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I have seen people use a container before so might well be an idea to look in to.
I would be more than happy to help out in exchange for some space I was in tree surgery and forestry for about 10 years and kept most of my gear so could do a bit of tree work, tractor driving etc.
Hopefully I'll have a few more years where I am yet just always good to have a plan for future and I certainly wouldn't want to part with any of them especially the one I have had since I was 12 ( 32 this year!)
