How do you store your outdoor toys? We have so many trikes, bikes, balls, sports stuff, etc, plus strollers. The garage has lots of tools, so licensing would like it to be locked, so while I could open, get toys out and close, that's annoying, so I was hoping someone had a better solution

That is what I would do if I needed to get them out of sight

I had one side of our deck paved with river stones and that is now the "parking lot" for all of the trikes, etc., and then I got two Step2 benches where I store all of the balls, cones, sport stuff.
I think they are cheaper at Home Depot with free store pick-up.
The only toys in my garage are the collapsible tunnels and my 5-seater stroller.

Google "deck box." You can get them pretty cheap online. Or if you need a huge space you could get several 45 gallon storage bins with lids for as low as $60 (total for several) online. Better yet, search Craig's list for one of those plastic storage sheds. They are pretty cheap if secondhand.

I had a storage bench but wasn't crazy about it. It leaked and the top kept popping off.
I was able to purchase a small garden shed with some grant money. I am going to padlock the handles to have control of what comes out and when
Eventually I'd like a bigger shed to store bikes and bigger toys.

If I was continuing with daycare past the summer, I would be getting a storage shed for all the larger toys. As it is, they sit on the deck through all weather. They have survived 2 years so far but it is not optimal in our climate (rains a lot, cold winters, lots of snow, chances of hurricanes, etc).
My dh (it varies on what this acronym stands for in this situation, ) uses the garage for his tools (he's a carpenter). It is usually not organized and there is very little room for toy storage. If they were stored, I probably couldn't get them out
