I had an old camp bed chewed a few years ago. I bought some brackets and bolted them to the garage wall and hang my bedchair about 5 foot off the foot, they haven't got to it yet!

I had problems with mouse damage some years ago in my garage .... now I store sleeping bags, clothes, Bait, tackle bags and any thing loose in plastic storage boxes from B M homestores they do large stacking boxes with lids really cheap. the other big stuff I store as high as I can .... I then have 12 mousetraps on the floor which generally trap a couple of mice a month through the colder months. Dont seem to get much trouble through the warmer months.
By stacking the boxes they keep a good tight fit on the lids.
fingers crossed this does the trick.

I had a similar problem with mice getting into my garage and chewing through things, most the time just for sake of it not because there was food. (The joys of having a house backing onto a field) I just bought some large rat traps and put a couple of bags of poison down checking them everyday. I got rid of six of them just from the traps. The first week all the poison was eaten then after that they took hardly any. Now I still put the poison down but refresh them every month.

Have a look at : Keter store it out Storage Shed in Argos to give you an idea of what they look like.
I have the 1200L one but don't put my fishing gear in it but it would suit your purpose i reckon and you can put a padlock on it.

A few years ago I picked up a some ad blue 200 litre drums for free from a company that supplies them full. Presumably they get the empties back so it's probably worth enquiring if any suppliers are near to you.
They are very robust and would make a decent container if a hole was cut in the top. Even if a chair doesn't fit I'm sure there are plenty of other things that we need to be stored mouse proof.

I got a pair of semi feral farm cats...
No problem with mice or rats...🐁

Thank-you all for your replies. 
What about getting an IBC and cutting the top off, big enough to hold a far bit and cheap
Poison all the way. Put a couple of these.....

....down with a few pellets to attract them in. No more chewed tackle.

yes quite right simply the very best solution nothing comes close to these boxes trust me
Anyone that owns fishing gear and stores it outside in a garage or shed is in real danger that at some time mice will find a way in now there are lots of precautions that you could take
but there can only be one BEST solution
and it simply is the baited mouse boxes that kill the mice within 24 hours normally and most times next to the box or within a metre
(TRAPS dont come close ! trust me )

I went into my shed last week for the first time in months to sort it out.
Well a bag of maize had been ripped open and a winter fur lined coat I had had been ripped apart and I noticed mice **** all over the place.
I purchased 2 traps as in The link below (chuffs)and put some peanut butter in them 2 nights later and 4 mice killed 👍
After clearing most of the shed I found 2 nests one in a box on the floor and the other in the ceiling void
How they got up there I don't know.
I threw all 4 mice into the garden so next doors cats can have them but to my surprise a jackdaw flew down picked up the mice and flew away onto a roof and started to eat them,that's why I would never use poison to kill them 👍
The traps are still set and I've had no more mice for a week
