We have been keeping ours on a rolling table in the barn where we store the vehicle but I'm looking for a more out of the way method to safely store the gate when it's off the truck. I suspect there are come crafty ideas out there among the Wtwers....
How do you safely store your tail gate when it's off the truck?

My tailgate leans against the wall in my shop. My tailgate is roughly 75 pounds, and I rest it on a soft piece of cedar, with a piece of foam to cushion the wall. Nothing fancy.

Nothing fancy. We wrapped ours in bubble wrap and leaned it against the wall in our garage.

I stand my tailgate up on a carpet floor mat behind my fishing wader/boots cabinet, has been stored there for years with no issues.

Ideal storage in the shed would have it protected in a cardboard box, but lacking anything of sufficient size I've saved a few smaller boxes with goal of eventually cutting them up and taping together a big box of sufficient size for it.

When I had a tailgate, I like the others wrapped it up and secured it against a wall in the garage. A old blanket work great but for some people may have to worry about mice using it for a home.
When I sold the truck the buyer commented how new the tailgate looked.

I cant seem to find it now, but someone on WTW built a super clever dolly that has tailgate and jack storage inside.

Since our camper is always mounted and has been since 2009 the tail gate is just stashed
out of the way in the garage nothing special.
Seems to live there forgotten just perfect.
