We have steel shelves that were purchased in 2000 and used in NJ for 2 years, then NC for 14 years, and now in FL for 8 yrs. We just disassembled, moved and reassembled. We used scrap wood pieces which we put under the uprights so that steel was above the concrete to avoid rust spots. The shelves have wood inserts made of OSB type material. There are some marks from leaking stored material but garage environment is not a problem for the shelves.
FL garages are hotter than outside but the relative humidity is actually less than outside. The water content in the garage air is the same as outside, but the increased temperature actually reduces the relative humidity so it is "drier" so to speak. Mold and rusting are not a problem as long as you do not create puddles with bringing a wet car into the garage.
