I need to do something with my mower so it isn't just sitting out in the open. I also don't want to have to look at it any time my friends and I are out in the yard. Anyone have any good and cheap ideas on hiding it and protecting it from the elements?

I don't have a garage and was hoping for something cheaper than one of those storage sheds (like < $30)...

Figure where the best place to hide it will be in yard . where it will not be in way .
Figure how big the hide it needs to be. 3Ft high by 6 ft for example . Will just one side cover work or will you need and end to really hide mower. This is basically a wall in your yard to hide mower.
Go to local builders supply and by some wood/plastic lattice 2 metal posts fence post (just because they go into ground easy ) 3 if need side .Just explain what you are doing and they will tell you how long they need to be. And have them cut lattice to size needed. Get some alum wire ( they sell packs by suspended ceiling stuff ) Or use picture wire. OR just use string . You can use wood posts but More$.
Get the stuff home get /borrow a sledge hammer or rent a post driver for 1/2 day (easiest ) Drive 2 posts into ground so apart far enough to attach lattice . Use wire to attach lattice to pposts . Plant some vines or other climbing flower and you have a hide it.
I gave you the cheapest and not the best way to build this. You can add cross pieces to make last longer or change as needed. but For the $30 you should be able to buy piece of lattice and 3 post easy . Good luck

Many people store the lawnmower in the garage.
Lowes, Wal-Mart and similar stores, sell sheds you can buy, to put in your back yard, to store your lawn mower.

Put it in the garage, storage house, or under house, but it depends if it's a push or riding mower.

Buy one of those plastic storage buildings or lockers, they are big enough for a lawnmower, that way its out of the elements and out of sight, good for you and good for the mower.

Build a little garage out of scrap lumber for it like a dog house.

Put it somewhere off to the side and put a tarp over it.
