I have a steel and concrete porch, with concrete underneath. 3 feet between ground and porch.
I’d like to store my letter sukkah panels underneath it.
Rain water comes in from the sides under the porch. And the panels are wet.
Do I raise the panels on bricks or the like? Will that create a home for creatures?
Do I wrap the panels in a huge tarp?
Do I build walls ?
All ideas and tips appreciated

We use a tarp and the boards have held up.

We did the bolded above for quite a few years and it worked pretty well.
Make sure panels are totally dry before you wrap them up!

We built a metal structure under the porch for storage.

That's what we do. Wrap well in tarp - like a present, tucking the tarp underneath. Raise the whole thing with cinderblocks.

Thank you for your replies. Happy to hear it’s tried and true.
Do creatures go under wrapped tarp and make it their home?
Can I store schach under porch, wrapped in tar too?

How do you all secure the tarp?

Built a metal shelf under the porch (welded to bottom of porch). Not a full shelf- water doesn't gather there- more like beams horizontally that hold the walls when you slide them in (think of the metal brackets that you slice a wooden shelf onto).
If you need a visual to understand what I mean, imagine such a scenerio of metal brackets and sukkah walls.

I’ve seen the metal shelves under porches.
Does that stay water proof in the rain?
